JEWELS

MY FAVORITE NEW PLACE ........

Last month Master Carpenter and I went to Asheville, North Carolina to visit our Granddaughter and this Blog's Design Assistant and Co-Blogger, Erica, and her husband, Adam. The area, and the "village", are so picturesque and a shopper's heaven!

I hate to think of the shopping I have missed by waiting so long to visit this spot! Erica took us into many of the local boutiques. It was freezing and windy, but we managed to work our way through a number of the great shops . Must, must get back there when the weather is warmer.

I want to share some of the beautiful "Jewels" I saw! We are all getting tired of seeing pictures of "Patty's Epiphany House", I know I am!! Actually, I think it would have been Heaven to have been able to bring home ALL of what we saw and redo the Epiphany House. Wouldn't that be fun!!! I did buy one small treasure. I will show the fabulous way it was marketed in the store and it's new home here. Really wanted the entire display!



YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE MIRRORS, AND THAT LAMP IS TO DIE FOR.


LOVE THIS NEW LIGHTER WOOD FINISH AND THE COMPOSITION DISPLAYED IS VERY "ME"



LOOK, LOOK AT ALL THOSE FLOWER SPONGES WITH THEIR POPS OF PINK

I WANTED TO TAKE THE WHOLE THING, TUB AND ALL.

ONE IN IT'S NEW HOME


I saved the best "Jewels" for last......Erica has done a fabulous job in designing a Spring Window for her shoe boutique, Talloni, ("Heel" in Italian). The place is filled, not only with gorgeous shoes, but scarfs, handbags, and jewelry to make any girl's dreams come true!! Actually, I have no idea how she can not spend her entire salary in a day! The pictures will speak for themselves, no need to comment.....Entire project is a winner!
