Metrolina weekend we made some new friends and many of you came out and said "hello"!  Thanks to all who stopped by and were able to see our new digs!!!

We had mostly antiques this past weekend...some mid-century patio stuff...and some adorable garden chairs ~ you all LOVED the garden chairs ... so, it looks like I am gonna need to make some more!

You may see us traveling around with our new "mobile" store ... looks pretty awesome, don't you think?

Now, when you see us scurrying around town...give us a honk or a wave and then give us a call!!!

We will be back at Metrolina next month ~ June 5-8 ~ Building C ~ see ya soon!

Hello all you Flutterby lovers!!!  We are now back on the grid ~ woohoo!

It is true...we no longer have a store front in Rock Hill ~ but we are still up and operational ... just in a mobile kind of way!  We are operating out of my warehouse and our traveling "Flutterby Mobile Store". (I will post pictures soon of our traveling store!)
                            
                               You can find us May 1-4 at the Metrolina Expo in Charlotte.  

We are still available for painted furniture and custom re-upholstery or interior design help ... again, just mobile!  And, any of our really cool stuff that you see on our website or our Facebook page is all for sale ... and we can even set up delivery!  Now...how cool is that!!!

For those of you still wondering what happened...here is the short version:  Our almost 100 year old building was condemned and we were ordered to vacate immediately due to safety issues...bummer.  But...we are still available to you!

To find us ~ just keep an eye out for our schedule of upcoming shows, markets, and flea markets posted on this site and Facebook.  Our phone number is still the same:  803.412.8880

  Time to Flutterby!

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!!!

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
