302 West VineStreet.....

At dinner the other night, Wanda and I took a walk down memory lane, back to 302 West Vine Street. It was in December 2010, a year ago that we closed our store.  It was a long and hard decision after being in business for 3 years, and as much as we loved it, it was time to move on, we were ready to do other things.   It was sad to say goodbye to our amazing dealers and our wonderful customers but we went out with a fabulous, blowout, Christmas party and everyone had a blast!
So, here's a look back at the store and some of our favorite things we had for sale!
( some of these photos were taken before we ever thought about posting them so not the best)






One of our dealers made all these lamps from architectural pieces


Our favorite "junk" lady


These was the most adorable pair of childrens's skis












These fabulous pumpkins were brought in by our "floral"guy


This old shoe shine chair was bought and used in the movie Billy Graham that was filmed in Nashville


We sold this old tub with cotton for $75.00 which we thought was amazing, considering it was all almost free




The next 3 photos are of Jane's space, Rustic and Roses who now has her own fabulous shop in Nolensville






We had a guy that did fantastic floral designs and had the most amazing accessories
(if you saw my mantle last year, he did the amazing Santa in the stocking with the pheasent feathers)


We got this door at the Flea for $20.00






We got these trunks at Watertown for $15.00 each and they were perfect inside


"Mr. Pumpkin Head" came from the Good Will






I got these chairs at a yard sale for $2.00 each


This is a photo of one of our spring windows




Our store was a mixture of antiques,  garden and home decor.
Hope you enjoyed your look back at some of the most fun and hardest work we have ever had and done!

Till next time......
