Beachy Keen

Lynn Gillis will be here at the shop this Saturday as part of the Garden Glamour event.

Her Garden Glass Windows have graced our displays for many years and generated a lot of interest. Here's your chance not only to meet Lynn, but to help design a window just for you! She is bringing many "blank" recycled sashes in a variety of sizes, along with pails of materials to choose from. For this event she will concentrate on beach themed windows since they contain more shells and rounded glass "gems" and fewer cut (read sharp!) pieces of glass for you to handle. Bring your ideas, dimensions, or photos - anything that will help Lynn understand what you are looking for.

She will also be bringing a dozen or so new, completed windows - again, primarily with a beach/water/sea theme - so you may find the perfect window immediately!

Other Garden Glamour participants include Pam Bodgonoff of Laughing Glass Studio, Emily Seiler of Fabulous Accents custom reversible patio umbrellas, and Cindy Ruble with a great selection of her quirky birdbaths (though we envision them as fantastical ice buckets & servers.)

New Books for New Readers

As a result of the Local Author Book Signing fundraising event last Saturday, we are donating $600 to the New Books for New Readers program of the Kentucky Humanities Council, supporting adult literacy. To learn more, visit their website: http://www.kyhumanities.org/newbooksnewreaders.html

Classy Glass

These serving pieces from Red Pomegranate are just as exciting and unusual as their namesake. The colors, textures and metallic effects lend an almost antique appearance.

Holly Yashi

The Love Spell necklace and earrings are from Holly's Bohemian Chic collection. Dozens of treasures in niobium, sterling silver & gold-fill dangle along with pearls & crystals from an adjustable chain. It's light, feminine & sparkly. Hand crafted in California.

Zazou Up Your Wardrobe

Zazou has the greatest scarves and wraps, which we all know can add instant pizazz (or should we say pizazou?) to a simple outfit. This one, "Polynesia", in soft rayon, is a generous 20" wide by 75" long, lending a flattering long line to your figure. A large, lightweight scarf like this can be a surprisingly warm extra layer for when the sun goes down or the breeze kicks up. $28

Glittery Gifts

Natural Life's cheery jewel tokens are an easy way to perk up a loved one's day. At only $6, they make a great add-on gift, and provide a Springy feel to any dresser or workspace.

Scentsational

Reed diffusers have many advantages over scented candles. There's no open flame, so you can leave them unattended. Refills are available and easy to use. Best of all, with this line you can choose your decorative container and scent separately.
$34 for the kit.
