PRETTY FINDS

I had the opportunity to purchase a nice selection of etched stemware. It looks so pretty in my antique mahogany shelf with mirror on the back. These are all for sale at $2.50 per stem.

AT THE LOFT - SHOP ON LINE www.pioneerloft.com

I took these photos the last time I was in the shop (flooding is keeping me away today) and am slowly adding items to our website where they are for sale. If you see anything in the photos that are not up for sale yet on the website in which you are interested, please contact me and I'll let you know the price. There are more items on the website than I am showing here.
Remember you can order any of Tim's items in other colors, but the ones shown are ready to ship.
This three drawer cubby from my hubby is perfect for your bath! I have one in mine. I put my little hair clips in the drawers and then decorate the rest. The shelf is $42.50, including shipping!
Tim's plate rack is quite popular! It sells for $85, including shipping. This one sold on 3/12/11, still available by order.

Also in the above photos, the green pottery is Fioriware made in Ohio. It is a high quality, heavy stoneware. Oven, microwave & dishwasher safe. VERY DURABLE. The company collected old pottery molds and started making new pottery with them. Sadly, I think their business didn't last. I bought their items about 7 years ago and held on to them personally, but now decided to put them up for sale since I never used them though I love them! I have place settings for four (dinner plate, lunch plate, salad bowl and mugs as well as mixing bowls and a couple pitchers. Bonus is I'm selling them at 40% off their original retail prices which is the price marked on them! I also have some mixing bowls in mustard, deep indigo blue and creamy white available from them.
PLEASE NOTE you can save money on Tim's furniture by shopping in our store since there's no shipping costs involved! 
One more photo. Here's something from the "vintage" section of my shop that I love. It's a handpainted juice set and would be terrific this summer on your porch for breakfast!
The shelf from Tim has three pegs on the bottom and functional drawers! Don't you just love it?

SNOW-Down Progress

Due to lots of bad weather, I've not been able to work at the new shop much lately. I was there for a while today, but spent the time getting the computer set up and working out the bugs (CD drawer stuck, install new printer). 
I tried to take photos of the window displays from outside, but they didn't turn out at all. So, I took some inside angle photos, which aren't very good either. :(

Here's a couple photos of the floor in the back room. I rag roll painted brown over what was supposed to be clay but looks more pinky than I'd like. I hope I can learn to live with it because I really do not want to paint it again.

Last, but not least, just a general photo of the MESS! The checkout area is at least in place (on left) ......... I feel a bit overwhelmed.
Hubby has to get some more furniture finished before I can really make much progress with setting up. Hopefully that will happen any day! :)
