Life's little pleasures...

2012-02-11T16:26:00.012-06:00

Take a few moments to enjoy a hot cocoa with an "unforgettable" cup and saucer...Refresh and rejuvenate in femininity with soaps to make you swoon.The warm scents of Biscotti,the delicate sparkle under drippy prisms, a lovely postcard on the tails of a feathery friend,and a much loved object that by simply looking at, you can feel the dancing wind - all life's little pleasures.A place for your keys to hang out for a while,the measure of a match made in Heaven, a Chintz ring, made just for the most crisp, white linen napkin ,the intricate work of crochet tousled under glass,and the neatest steel table fit for a king - these are a few of our favorite things. I see now, that once is not enough, to divulge in the extraordinary... to heed the call of handsome functionand form.Pour me some splendor, and a mismatch of beauty. Talk long, and carry on...and take in, life's little pleasures.

The EYES Have It!

2012-01-28T14:58:00.008-06:00

Oh, these guys are easy on the eyes!Mine eyes have now beheld true beauty.And beauty is in the eye of the beholder...a simple piece of vintage organza floating delicately over the frame of a scalloped edge shade...sheer romance.The eyes are the mirror of the soul. Take time to reflect.When something catches your eye, take a sniff, too...with Aloha Orchid candles you'll be in bliss!

Seeing is believing!

Oh, what a sight for sore eyes! Prism-y chandeliers make us melt every time...The eyes indicate the antiquity of the soul...Oh, what an eye-full...a few pictures of serenity...Sisters style.

There is beauty within...

2012-01-14T12:43:00.012-06:00

We love the art of repurposing - like this cook stove that would be such a cool potting table, bathroom vanity, entertainment center, and more! Just take it apart and fix it up so it becomes a one-of-a-kind piece no one else will have!New beauty in a cutie green swing seat...Wooly up your vases for flowers, candles, or a new pack of freshly sharpened pencils because it's COLD outside!This gorgous, old door has the most amazing etched window with soaring birds - a beautiful welcome for guests.We love an old shopping cart - great for storing fluffy blankets and pillows in the family room or guest room, or containing a great array of gift wrapping items, or a funky hamper - there'll be no excuse to get those clothes to the laundry room on wash day when it's fun to wheel it down the hallway!We enjoy the challenge of discovering the new purpose for a found object - diggin' in, cleanin' up and redisplaying as we find the new beauty within...

The Collections...

2012-01-05T14:50:00.011-06:00

We love collections...and we love seeing what you collect - gathering bits and pieces over time adding a little pleasure and interest to all of your special displays at home! Here are some of our favorites that are everchanging as they make their way to your collections...People say our flower frog collection is quite extensive, and we get new ones in almost every day...and our creative customers find so many uses for them in their own homes - it's such fun seeing them starting or adding to their collectionThe butterpat - we love seeing customers sift through all the different kinds, ages, patterns and colors of these, picking their favorites. And to hear how they'll use them is wonderful - some people are now using them again as their intended purpose - as each guest at dinner has a pat of butter at their place setting - fun!Love a collection of old dishes, or old photographs,
and old religious statuary and ephemera.
We have odds and ends like door knobs, hinges, hooks, drawer pulls and knobs, castors and more - not only do we like the look of a pile of hardware, you never know when you'll need a piece!We love chippy paint spindles and trim pieces, old, colorful seed packets,random numbers and letters,a great display of glassy perfume bottles and atomizers,
or a big pile of beautiful jewelry!Check out these vintage monopoly pieces - these are the real deal! Did you always get to pick your favorite piece or were you often stuck with the iron or wheelbarrow? People are always reliving those wonderful memories.What about a collection of milk bottles and a cute book about Polly's Milk Route,or birdhouses,a lovely pile of books, or the look and feel of vintage flash cards? We enjoy the collections that come and go through our doors, and what we love the best is knowing that each item we see, now gets to be another addition to your treasured collections!

The Sunny Side of Things...

2011-12-27T15:19:00.010-06:00

Hello sunshine! We find our joy in the simple things like an old tiered rack of fabric balls,

or wonderfully worn (not to mention "so in") soft floral wallpaper

This one says it's fade proof - they were wrong about that one, but we're oh so thrilled about its perfection now.Oh, these make us happy! You can close your mouth now.Pour everything you have in to all you touch...Ah, the garden hat setting in anticipation for the great outdoors...wait, why are we already thinking of the flowers? We haven't even gotten to winter's cabin fever yet! Keep on the Sunny Side of things.....stop on by to get a fix-

....and for a very limited time stock up on all our Christmas items new and old...now 50% off! Hurry, scurry...they're going fast!

2011-12-22T17:00:00.008-06:00

Hey Santa! We have lots of presents to choose from for all the good girls and boys! Dream of sugar plums! It's Christmastime!
Let the bells ring for all the joy Christmastime brings!

I want to buy that!...

2011-12-20T14:10:00.011-06:00

Oh yes...what joy we're having with everything in-store, just thinking about all the possibilities when items large and small get new homes!This picture doesn't do it justice, but this white bench and white distressed table are so good! Wouldn't this be a fun pair?!Love these simply snowy ornament picks perfect for package tags or peeking out of the Christmas tree

Bird chandeliers!!

Remember we just keep putting out Christmas as it comes in, because it's so very nice

And for everyone who's been asking, here are the pieces that would be GORGEOUS for the bathroom, the kitchen island...or even the entertainment center - can you imagine your TV on this 6'2" long counter, popping in "It's a Wonderful Life", grabbing a stack of blankets from this massively amazing cupboard and cuddling up for a magical Christmas night! Oh yes!

The Vintage Statue...

2011-12-17T11:27:00.008-06:00

We can't resist a gracefully and uniquely worn statue...they've stood the test of time in gardens and yards, braving the elements - only to become more lovely.
And as they come to the shops, they may be broken, but they are now undeniably beautiful just as they are...
The strength and life that can speak through a statue like this one, expresses a story of their past journey to us, inviting us to seek a little happiness,being thankful for what we have, knowing our nicks and broken pieces have made us who we are now, so we can use that beauty to spread a little joy every day!

Let there be LIGHT!

2011-12-13T14:44:00.008-06:00

Especially at this time of year, the sparkle and twinkle of beautiful lights is such a treat - inviting us to share in the magic of spreading light in the darkness...And there is something special in a piece from the past that is cherished by a new age of believers of true beauty

Like this gorgeous petite iron lamp with a shade made from delicate peacock feathers - and as the light changes, the feathers pick up different colorings that make this one all the more glorious.

From table and floor lamps to wall sconces to chandeliers - we're always on the look out for an unusual or eye-catching piecethat may or may not need a little TLC...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.We love these decorative battery operated candlesto taking already amazing lights, like this chandelier, and dressing them up like this one placed in a metal farm piece.
to these jute wrapped chandeliers, to these great round globe shades - we placed one on a bucket with a light inside - wouldn't it be neat to have both setting on buckets, barrels or urns? Yes, please! You see, we get so excited by a simple, romantic glow...We'll keep searching for the one of a kind pieces that bring excitement and joy...to transform a space with a little more sparkle...let there be LIGHT!

Jingle Around the Clock!

2011-12-08T15:47:00.008-06:00

Oh, biscotti candles...warmth of the season!Lookie at these cute cookies...white prism-y chandeliers with glass tear-drop prisms.Check out this perfectly chippy gate stancion from a park behind the fabulous jewelry tree!

A Glass House is Born...

2011-08-02T13:38:00.012-05:00

We invite you in welcoming the newest addition to the Sisters' Garden family...our glass house! We're so happy to have a little dreamy resting place...a place to just sit a spell, indulge in a few thoughts, and enjoy the breeze blowing through... The beginning was just a dream...a beautiful frame, and many old chippy paint glass windows for the walls and big old doors to greet you... And then you could see it starting to make sense - starting to make us so excited!

Why build a wall when you can use doors (with the knob still on it?!)

And then...the dream came to life - and our glass house was born!

We can't wait to show you all fun things we've been doing at the shops, and while you're here, take a few moments to enjoy some time in our little Glass House!

The Love of TEXTURE

2011-07-26T14:03:00.009-05:00

We love the thought of TEXTURE. Texture makes a display go from "bada bing" to "bada boom"! And life is full of inspiration, seeing the textures all around us...

Check out these FABULOUS, much textured shell chandeliers...they give off the most beautiful glow and they sound so peaceful as the breeze blows through A true love knot chandelier - And look at this black table! If you love the shape and style of this one, you're in luck - we have 2! These half moss mounds are full of texture and fun...they add that pop of color without any fuss...and you just wanna touch 'em.

Ooooo...more mini cloches for your little delights...

These olives are sold by the box - and they got the texture right! You don't want to take a bite of these, but they're really making us hungry...anyone have cheese and a great loaf of bread?

We have many different textures in our treasures to show you - many things to feed the senses and make the soul inspired...take a few moments to relax here - reflecting on all the textures of YOUR life...and LOVE who you are today because of them...

Rainy Days...

2011-06-02T13:17:00.014-05:00

On rainy days we've gotcha covered - with a little indulgence and new thoughts to get you going.
Or new thoughts to get you shopping....
On rainy days, look for ways to get inspired - like bringin' in the color,
or washin' away your blues with zesty lime soap,or redisplaying in a different way. Mr. Froggy does his rain dance, lovin' all this rain....See Rainy Day Deb. Today, see Rainy Day Deb get drenched...
When rainy days seem a bit dreary, come to Sisters' to see more clearly....when it's hard to be motivated by your list "to do", we'll have inspiration waiting here

Life is Meant to be Shared

2011-03-29T16:36:00.005-05:00

Everything old is new again

2011-03-22T13:22:00.009-05:00

We love the idea of taking lost pieces and fragments and junk, and bringing out new beauty - letting it shine again, and be loved in a new way . . . this black counter could be a kitchen island, a laundry room folding table, a baby changing piece, or entertainment console . . . the possibilities are endless!

Oh the fretwork! Isn't this a wonderful way to admire a squeaky screen door, and this wreath handmade out of old book pages . . .

Vintage tea cart repurposed as a piece maybe in the bathroom . . . load up the bottom shelf with a stack of fluffy white towels . . . clean and crisp -

Love this creativity! Hat molds hung as display pieces . . .

What a bright idea - found galvanized piece turned into a lamp . . .

Don't throw away your tools just because they break . . . don't you want a shelf made from a rake?

Old wooden trim made with cute clips to hang anything!

Food cover made from newspapers - love this! And it's so strong too!

Old fencing and insulators turned into a chandelier - love this for your outdoor spring entertaining!

A chair with no seat? No problem. As a planter it's neat.

Unbelievable necklaces made from found fragments and amazing pieces you have to see and love . . .

Dry sinks we love now to fill with new plants, or piled with wonderful finds

A new coat of paint and color will change any piece - brighten it up . . .

We can't wait to show you all the things we've been changing, enhancing the old and making displays new again!

Drawing us in . . .

2011-03-17T14:25:00.006-05:00

We are mesmerized by pieces like this 3 tiered, ever-so-large birdcage, that would transform any space where it calls home.

We love the thought of giving gifts like these natural bird journals - that inspire the person receiving them to reflect, create and write their heart's thoughts.

And we are fascinated by simply gazing at a found treasure touched by the warm sunshine, drawing us in its fleeting moment of this beautiful light it has now cast on our souls.

New thoughts, new things

2011-03-17T12:20:00.005-05:00

Check out this so cute cupboard - chippy white paint outside, old rich red paint inside . . .

It's music to our ears - repurposing, renewing, and rediscovering!

Awesome register cover, love this style -

So many new things going on here at the shops in these warm Spring days! We're lovin' it and we can't wait to see you on your next visit to Sisters'!

Take time to REFLECT

2011-03-15T16:23:00.004-05:00

Each of us is here for a brief sojourn; for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
