New Stuff...






Barb has such a splendid flair for drawing you in to her web of decorating dreams. Everyone that is involved in the web-weaving brings their own special mark to the realm of Sister's Garden. I recall 15 years ago, there was this booth in an antique mall that had the greatest stuff and it was displayed so creatively. I bought lots of stuff from the gal back then. Then I heard that she opened her own shop...OH MY GAWD!!! Where is she? I'll never forget the first time my sweet friend Cathie C. This Girls Art and I went to Barb's newly opened shop...we were just floored. Everything we saw at the shop was right out of Victoria magazine, Country Living, Country Home, Romantic Homes...it was all there. What a treasure and 15+ years, it is still going strong...now that is a testament to great skill and passion...Sister'Garden...a must see...

So here we are with a wonderful pale, mint green, Victorian dresser and mirror, the perfect palette of mint chips and dings, a decorator's dream. Then we have a STUNNING walnut chest with mirror. If you are Victorian at heart, this is a splendid piece of rare beauty. Then on to a wonderful black built-in filled to capacity with mercury glass baubles, a maroon velvet chair glowing in the brilliant autumn sun and last, but not least the vision at the top of the stairs at Bloom, a study in pink...glowing in crystal and glass, you must see this display close up to see the product in all it's finery.

Again Barb and the girls have mixed a study in texture for your pleasure, now remember, these items usually don't last long as the intrepid buyers that frequent the shop know...if you like it, you better be first in the doors or you will be long drooling over pictures of past beauties...see ya at the event...
