OUR NEW SHOP SPACE

This house has a wonderful history and a truly inspiring past. The gifted owner (our new Landlord) has had retail, studio and classroom space creating art of all kinds here for over 20 years. She has inspired hundreds of people to tap into their creative side.We hope to keep this fabulous house alive and reinvent another kind of creative energy within its walls. Our business of gathering and transforming old pieces of the past into new treasures for your home and garden seems a perfect fit. 

We are excited to share it with you.

Here are some video clips of the BEFORE stages....

happy Valentine Day

With the start of every new year, as the house gets de-decorated from the holidays and deep cleaned, I find myself organizing and reorganizing boxes, totes and photos. Cleaning my workshop space I came across a flash drive of photos of things created last year.  Thought I'd share my favorite projects.

INSPIRES me to keep picking and creating >>>>>>>>> Hope it does the same for you

May Your Holiday Season
Be Full Of Simple Pleasures

 Hi from the west!  All is going well out here in Castle Rock.  Settling in and planning next steps for Checkered Corner.  I spent 6 weeks in WI/MN this summer and was so glad to make the July sale weekend at the "Vintage Marketplace."  Was wonderful to be back in the greenhouse and am  IMPRESSED with all the new shop spaces.  Kudos to all!

Did a bit of junking while there.  Go figure.....I find this perfect crate in the middle of Wisconsin!  Love it.  Couldn't resist the Minnesota plate.

Enjoy the rest of your summer days,
   anita

Feeling very blessed to have enjoyed summer sunsets on the lake in the Midwest and in the mountains
of Colorado
