Well woohoo!  ~  We survived the first three days of being officially open!  Lots of familiar faces popped in and even more new ones!  Made some great new contacts, gathered lots of cool information, and another store in town loved our displays so much that they want us to build some for them...how stinkin' cool is that!!!  God is great...life is awesome.  Come on down to Flutterby ~ :)

Oh my stinkin goodness ~ I suppose it would be a good idea to give you the store address so you can actually find it!  LOL  sorry :o 

 Stop in for a visit at:  216 East Main Street, downtown Rock Hill, SC ~ 
Our hours are Monday ~ Friday 10 ~ 6 
Thanks to everyone for coming in the shop on opening day to have a look-see and say "hello" ~ got to see lots of friends and made a bunch of new ones!!!  We are expecting another shipment of really cool accessories this week and have some awesome pieces that are almost ready to put out on the sales floor.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all the support and well wishes and blessings!  As my dear friend would say...love you all muches!

So, this is a view of the still not quite so organized chaos.....

Below is one of the photos that will be in the "Old Town Newsletter".  They came and did an interview, so Alli and I quickly made a display with some of our inventory.  Some new, some vintage, some "Annie Sloan Chalk Painted".
Love this black and white Alli took of  a display with vintage milk and coke bottles and some cool wire baskets on a twenty foot ladder we got from an old barn....awesome!

The display below isn't nearly finished, but does show a vintage washstand that was just handpainted and waxed using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...love the owl tea towels...and the crochet owl purse makes a cool plant hanger!

Below is a view of "Inspiration Station".  You can sit and have a cup of joe while you peruse books and magazines or talk with me (Sherri) or Alli to figure out how some cool ideas for stuff you have at home.  Sign up for an upcoming "DIY Diva" class, demonstration class, or a "Wee Can Do It" kids craft class.  Sounds like a fun time!!!

That's one realllllly tall ladder!
 

We open in just one more day!  Can't wait for Alli to post more pics tomorrow!  The store is looking awesome!!!

Okay...one more week to go before we open the doors!!!  Lots to do in the next 7 days... our resident photographer should be posting pictures any day now ~ Can't wait to share all the goodies with everyone. 

Experience SC Festival is from 4-9:30 on September 1st in downtown Rock Hill.  All kinds of SC history, culture, music, food, and a little sumpin-sumpin from Flutterby, too!  While you sip on your sweet tea or lemonade you can browse the store and take home a little somethin' southern ~ and don't forget to get a raffle ticket for the cool wine bottle tree give-away!

Demonstration, DIY, and Krafty Kids class schedules will be posted September 10th ... (or maybe a bit sooner...we'll try!)

We got some awesome stuff in today and more coming this week!  Displays are being built, items are being tagged, things are being organized, it's all coming together!  Only 20 more days until grand opening!

Hey everyone, I have this idea.  I want to compile a list of South Meck alumni that are into artsy/creative/marketable really cool stuff and would like to be able to dedicate some space in the shop as the "SMHS Wall of Fame".  I have an antique door that will serve as part of the SMHS Wall of Fame display and would like to have signatures on the door of all alumni that have items for sale in the shop.  Doesn't matter what year you were there and it can also be open to family and friends of alumni.  Later, I would like to host a SMHS toasting party in honor of the mega creative people that South Meck popped out.  So, if you have something creative that you would like to share...photography, drawings, sculpture, paintings, writing, crafts, cookbooks, accessories, baby clothes, jewelry, pottery, calligraphy, bottle art, sewing, smocking, embroidery, needlework, hand-painted items, something you have built, written, or created ... stop by or give us a call ~ let's give an all new meaning to the word networking!

Oh! The sign-guy is stopping by tomorrow...wish us luck!

Look for for pictures coming soon of the store as we get it organized for our opening date of August 27th, 2012!  So.....how excited are you!!!!  We can hardly contain ourselves...but, we must sleep now because tomorrow is a busy, busy day!

Flutterby Interiors offers new, vintage and a wee bit of consigned furniture and lots of accessories for your home. We search for all kinds of treasures and some of them we redesign, upcycle, and repurpose into really cool stuff that you are going to want for your own! Oh, and we really love to use "Annie Sloan Chalk Paints" on our hand-painted pieces.

At Flutterby we have an interior designer and an artist on staff to help you add or recreate beauty in your home. We can help you select from our awesome inventory or take a look at what you have at home and then redesign, upcycle, or repurpose your stuff into even way cooler stuff!

Need to get inspired? Sit in one of our comfy chairs while sipping your coffee or tea and get creative. We have a great selection of magazines, design books, idea books, notepads, and sketch pads for you to peruse and take notes while chilling in our inspiration station.

Sign up for one of our DIY Diva classes, attend a make-it and take-it class or just sit back and take notes during one of our trash to treasure demonstrations. The kids will enjoy the "Wee can do it" Saturdays-are-fun-days demos, too.

Come join us for one of the downtown gallery and cool store crawls...perhaps a little wine and cheese...maybe coffee and biscottis...a little tea and crumpets...cider and popcorn... hot chocolate and brownies...or some summertime lemonade and cookies...always something going on at Flutterby.

Doesn't matter when, doesn't matter why, all that really matters is that you just...Flutterby!
