Oh yes it does. It equals very awesome. Take a look at it in Lady Amelia's Boudoir.

Kermit reads Muppets

Are you a fan of the Muppets? You don't want to miss this little gem. It's not yet listed in the shop at The Home Gnome but will be up within the next few days! Actually, the Kermit head AND the book will be listed in the shop. The Muppets book is a transcription of many of the favorite skits from their FIRST season! What a treat. The colors are clean and bright and the jokes are just as funny as ever.

How to contact?

Though I personally am not on facebook any longer, don't forget that there are a multitude of ways to contact me! Stop by my personal blog at BrightHaven Days (where I ramble about simplicity, recipes, photography and sometimes gardening), email, call, or visit the shop. If you have special requests, don't forget to send them our way! We've recently opened up a vintage gardening shop and Lady Amelia's Boudoir on etsy. We're busily refinishing furniture to expand our efforts in the salvage line as well. Ah, the life of a frugal thrifter!

The Home Gnome

I do stay home most of the time--except when I'm madly thrifting. Today was a big shopping day for us here at the Home Gnome. Found some wonderful items and even a few things for ourselves--like this Eileen West gown! Came complete with a floor length wrapper. Really though, I think I'll be wearing it out in broad daylight...

Interested in more floral and boudoir items? Just starting up a fledgling enterprise: Lady Amelia's Boudoir. Come see what it's all about!

Garden Romance

I love these pinks mixed together. My initial plan was to trash the peignoir and cut the magenta house robe into a bed jacket for my own use. However, after spending a goodly amount of time tucking lace and hand-sewing new buttonholes, I do believe this little garment has some life left in it. Either way, it makes a lovely color combo.

Charcoal samsonite traincase

Dark gray--almost black. Mirror shows some age but is still covered by the original cardboard protector! Never seen this color before. Very cool for the fall and winter.

Gorgeous ecru french lace with powder blue satin ribbon trim and lacy ruffles.

Going somewhere? Take a gander at the Sears hanging wardrobe. With sturdy sides, it also doubles as a suitcase!
