Woohoo!  We are at the end of our third week and sales have tripled!  LOL... 
 Here are a few more pictures for you to peruse..

An adorable table and benches Amish made from reclaimed wood ~ topped it all off with some Wedgewood china, burlap ruffled runner, tea towels, and Southern Hospitality beverage glasses, mmm, mmm, good!
 Wouldn't you just love to have one of these "Leroy Faucet Buckets"? You could use one as an ice bucket, beverage tub, as a chair side bucket for your remote and beverage, or how about in a bathroom to hold towels or extra tissue, maybe in the kids room as a toy bucket, or even on the patio or in the garden as an awesome plant holder...
oh! the endless possibilities!
and....just another glimpse of a little before, just three short weeks ago,
 now ... onto the after!~

See you as soon as you...Flutterby!  We're waiting for ya!

Wow ~ we have had one busy week!  More and more people are discovering that cool new shop on Main Street and that makes us smile REALLY big!  Thanks to all who have recently discovered us and to those faces we already recognize as "regulars"!

There are a few new pieces out on the floor and some cool new accessories as well.  Let's see if I can share a few pics for you...here goes...

Look at these cute new critters!  Big ole' hoot owl and adorable hand carved critter pencil cups with colored pencils ~ (and they smell like a campfire...weird that we actually smelled them, but, just sayin.)

More critters...Owl Tea Towel...too cute for words
Bird cages (that you can take the bottom out and insert your favorite sumpin' sumpin'...
like a candle or tea cup or plant or ... sumpin')
~ Awesome wood art ~
Great little desk ~ Annie Sloan Chalk Paint...of course!

Beautiful mahogany Federal style Serpentine sideboard ~ another great piece using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint


And no table is complete without your own "Southern Hospitality" beverage container, AND it comes with a screw on top so you can have your own "to go" or "travel mug"~

There's no place like "home" ~ ahhh



It's time to Flutterby!

We will be posting our upcoming class schedules the end of next week ~ be on the lookout!  AND... we have a really, really, REALLY big surprise to announce next week also....yippee!!!

Saturday, September 8, 2012

Oh my!  You need to come in and check out the new pieces that we have just put out on the floor ~  We love our Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!  

We are working on some adorable "garden chairs" ~ add a bit of quaint and whimsy at the same time with a colorful garden chair to hold your favorite pot of flowers.  The garden chairs add a colorful, artistic element to your garden and make a great conversation piece, too!  Pick one up for yourself and another as a wonderful pick me gift for a special someone.

Hey Alli....where are the pictures??  Gotta start a fire under that girl....

Experience SC Festival was tonight ~ lots of people were on Main Street enjoying the arts, music, food and culture of South Carolina...and...lots of them stopped by for a look-see at Flutterby.  Some amazing people visited the store tonight and became our newest friends!  One new friend, Linda, even has the same birthday as mine! (we are sisters from another mother...lol)

I am once again pleasantly surprised and blessed by the outpouring of support and well wishes from complete strangers that have become almost immediate friends and confidants.  I can't say it enough, but thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone and I can't wait to see how Flutterby grows because of all of you!  xoxo

A nice little accessory shipment arrived today.  I think Alli took some pics....  And this really nice man I met since the shop opened wanted to talk to me about some cool woodworking he does.  He lives in an historic home near old town Rock Hill and was telling me of his love for history and reproductions and wanted to know if he could bring in a piece to show me.  So, up he drives in his truck with this sixteen foot long joggling bench!!! Just like one you would have seen back in the day in Charleston or Savannah where young people would sit and bounce and rock while courting the apple of their eye.  It is awesome! ~ and just in time for the Experience SC Festival in old town Rock Hill Saturday night, September 1st from 4-9:30 where artisans from all over South Carolina will be featuring what they love about this state...food, music, culture, and art.

So, make sure you stop in and say "hey"~
 take a bounce on the joggling bench ~
 get yourself a glass of some good ole' sweet tea ~
 maybe pick up a little piece of the south to take home ~
 or maybe even win one of our sweet door prizes!

  Doesn't matter when, doesn't matter why,
 only thing that matters is that you just Flutterby!
  See y'all....
