Pampering Myself

I decided to pamper myself and visit one of my favorite shops.

The Flower Barn

It is an indulgence for me when I visit.

I almost never leave empty handed.

Beth, the owner has everything wonderfully displayed, lovely smells, soft music and on a hot day like today she even brought me out a mug of cold water.

I enjoy myself so much when I come to shop, and really I feel like it is more like visiting a friend.

Today I was surprised, amazed to say the least when I walked in the door and what should greet me but.....

clothing by none other than

Magnolia Pearl

My jaw dropped.

You have to understand, this is a small suburb of Buffalo, not the big city, 

not even Buffalo has Magnolia Pearl clothing.

I am so happy for Beth that she has such a wonderful opportunity to sell this line of clothing.

As beautiful as the clothing is in the pictures, they are even better in person.

You have to feel the fabrics and see all the details.

Just look at all those ruffles.

These pictures are from Magnolia Pear Clothing found here.

I will have a post soon with pictures from Beth of the available clothing she is selling.

But, if you can't wait until then.

Stop by and visit Beth.

I could not resist, I bought myself another candle.

I can never have too many candles.

Snickerdoodle by The Swan Creek Candle Co.

They have the best smells.

A cute little numbered bucket.

And

A new line Beth is carrying, TOKYOMILK/DARK by Margot Elena.

I bought Tainted Love lotion.

I am absolutely sure Mr. M. is going to like how it smells on me.

She offers a variety of collections in lip balm, body souffle, shower jell, roller parfum.

I have a feeling I will be going back to get Bullet Proof for him, it has this smokey smell that I just loved.

Oh, yeah,
I also bought this AWESOME CABINET!

It is a vintage medicine cabinet

Look at that key hole.

DETAILS!

I have mentioned on several posts what a wonderful boutique this is.

There are none like it around in this area.

Not only does she make beautiful floral arrangements,
 Beth also offers such a variety of home and gift items that are both old and new and just so unique.

Thanks Beth, I had a wonderful visit today and I can't wait to come back.

White Wednesday Shopping

Happy White Wednesday!

Last Wednesday I visited my new favorite shop THE FLOWER BARN, as I promised I am sharing it with you to celebrate White Wednesday with Kathleen from Faded Charm.

Aren't these signs amazing! 

 Our friend Kurt hand painted them, not only does he do signs but he also makes furniture too, I have several of his small cabinets in my home and they are beautiful one of a kind pieces.

The narrow cabinet is one of his creations also.

This picture is what you first see when you walk in the door, just beautiful. 

So many wonderful items to choose from.

 How do you like the bow and pearls on the rooster? 

 It is all in the details.

I would take one of everything if I could.

Do you see the painted silhouette in the corner, yep, Kurt painted that one also. 

 He used the pillow next to it as an inspiration and then he painted it on wood.

Kurt is so full of talent.  Beth has gone out of her way choosing just the right treasures that keep her customers coming back for more.

I went back today to buy some more candles and to mentally make my Christmas wish list......OH HONEY!

Every corner you turn there is a beautiful display of merchandise.

There are many different types of hand made one of a kind jewelry and decorations.

I also wanted to let you know about;

I Found A WHITE Shop!

Oh, girls if we were talking you would hear the excitement in my voice.

I went shopping!!!!

And

  I found a shop just for ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Flower Barn
7716 Rochester Road
Gasport, NY 14067
It is located only minutes from the Lockport Country Club.

White, white and lots more of white.

I picked up my little guy from school and my original intention was to go antiquing and look for a desk for him and a new chandelier for me.  We hit a few Salvation Armys and I got lucky on the desk for him.  Then with the help of extra snacks that I packed for him, I was able to talk him into going to ONE MORE SHOP.

A friend had mentioned that I should stop in this shop because, knowing I love white I will like the shop.

Like it, no, more like I LOVE IT!

When you first drive up the first thing you notice is that the shop in located at the front of an old barn.
 Then you see all the wonderful decorations outside, an vintage buggy, dried floral, white bows, an old bench holding this beautiful OPEN sign and so much more.  I am trying to remember how it all looked because I know my words are not doing it justice.  Of course I did not have my camera with me, but I had an impatient 4 year old. 
Come on mom let's go inside. 

Now inside was even more amazing!
 The details are what make it a shop that you want to stay all day just taking your time looking at EVERYTHING!

I handed my son my purse so he could dig for gum or mints and it would keep him occupied for a few minutes while I looked.  The smell of the candle burning in the shop was so wonderful I bought one for myself and it is filling my home up with the scent of pumpkin vanilla as I type this post. 

Just to list a sampling of what you can find in this shop, beautiful hand crafted jewelry, Swan Creek Soy Candles, custom hand painted signs like you have never seen anywhere and the gentleman also makes one of a kind cabinets and furniture.  Hand painted floor clothes, WHITE and more white china, platters, plates and pitchers.  Homemade jellies and jams.  An array of beautiful things that I always love to be white, frames, mirrors, tables and chairs, lamps and linens.  Oh, and I can't forget the burlap pillows and she even has stenciled burlap drapes.  Flowers, I can't forget to tell you about flowers.  Not only is there a shop but Beth the owner is a florist and she makes the most amazing floral designs both fresh and dried.  As you can tell I am very excited to have found this new shop and I am only telling you about what I CAN remember, a 4 year old can only stand so much time in a shop like this.  Mom where are the TOYS?

Have I peaked your interest? 

Well, there is more!
I am going next week to take pictures to share with all of you.
This time I am going by MYSELF so I can take a better look.
 Seeing as I am my own best Christmas gift shopper I want to make sure I get a few things under the tree that I love. 
I have already informed Mr. M. that he can shop there from now on for all of my gifts, birthday, anniversary, Christmas and those JUST BECAUSE I LOVE YOU moments.

Here is what I bought today.

I found an adorable Christmas decoration.

Did you notice the cute bag and the black ribbon.
 I am an attention to detail person and this just speaks to me in volumes. 
Being a former shop owner I am picky about what I bring into my home and I have not found a shop that is so me, UNTIL NOW! 

Happy dance everyone!
