I am just getting home from the evening event of Tartans, Toddies and Rhinestones. It was a wonderful evening and I want to thank everyone that attended and made it a huge success!  We have filled in with new merchandise and are looking forward to our sale tomorrow from 11 to 4.
Here are some pictures from this evening's event! 





 
 


Wonderful curtain details in the entry- men's suiting with "Hermes" look lining and braided leather belt for tie back- divine!!

 
A very special oil painting with dog and wonderful child! ( can't see the sweet dog face as it's behind the roses! ) One of a kind!
 








One of a kind vintage rhinestone necklaces that have been soldered together to make long layered pieces. Can be worn in any direction as all the sides are gorgeous!


 
Old chandelier candelabra's updated with seasonal shades!



 
Okay- overhead lights off and candles on!
 
 

 
A knock on the door and we have a florist delivery- breathtaking flowers sent by a special gal in Texas - flowers created by Twigs in Lake Bluff!  Everyone gets cold chill bumps seeing this exquisite floral bouquet and we know we must work it into our crown and bottle display.
