Shop Getting Dressed Up For Book Signing Tomorrow!

Spent the day chatting with folks from Patch.com. A great group for neighborhood advertising. In between visits with folks, I spruced the shop up, added more new items and a touch of steampunk in honor of our guest author Emilie P. Bush tomorrow!
A sneak peek of how the shop will look tomorrow when I open the doors at 11 am!

Chenda in our front window! View from inside. Another mannequin is looking out with Emilie's book!

Some steampunk for Valentine's Day. Art cards by Audrey Frank. Just the perfect one-of-a-kind design for your special Valentine!

A new selection of cards by Audrey Frank came in this week. Already they are selling well!

Lots of vintage Valentine charm necklaces, charm bracelets and other girly delights!

Need a purse? Lots of ice cream color leather for spring and my favorite, vintage western look and tooled leather Mexican handbags! Who can resist a chair with Mickey on it either?

Vintage oriental lady lamp base and late 1800s floral oil painting!

My newest mannequin watching over the shop at night.

Moving to the second room!

A mixture of vintage pieces and my children's book cupboard!

My favorite old farm table full of vintage silverplate!

Vintage art is tucked everywhere!

Can't wait for tomorrow. Rain or shine, it will be bright at The Little Shop Of Arts And Antiques when we greet Emilie P. Bush!

Steampunk Pins by Etsy artist Trollenalong, Jan Berlepsch

Little artist made Steampunk pin available on Etsy and at The Little Shop Of Arts And Antiques

More artists will have one-of-a-kind items for sale at The Little Shop Of Arts and Antiques!

Today meet artist Jan Berlepsch and her wonderful creations. Jan sells on Etsy under the name Trollenalong and some of her creations will be for sale at our shop beginning January 22nd.

In Jan's own words: 

"About ten years ago the name "trollenalong" became my artist identity for 2 reasons: I lived on a sailboat in the USVI and when we sailed we trolled for out dinner; and because I started making Art Dolls that seemed to render themselves as "trolls", hence "trollenalong"
I now live on "terra ferma" and no longer troll for dinner but I still make trolls.
I am a nature lover, a dreamer, lover of faery tales, mystery and magic. My creative force is driven by my joy in bringing fantasy images to life in the form of 3D sculptures.
My favorite artists include Susan Seddon Boulet, Michael Parkes, Brian and Wendy Froud, James Christensen, Daniel Merriam and Jim Henson.
I hope you enjoy my store which includes Art Dolls, GourdArt and most recently, Steampunk Pins. Each item is a unique individual, a one of a kind creation, a little piece of Love......and YES, I do believe in... "

First Shop Event Scheduled For Saturday, Jan. 15th!

Time To Celebrate! Shop Opens January 13th with an event for Friends Of DeKalb Animals on Saturday, January 15th. Mark you calendar! Special Sales With Proceeds Going To FODA. These are great folks and a branch of my ever favorite Animal Action Rescue group!

I was issued my Gwinnett County Certificate Of Occupancy today! After my original walk through on December 15th by the Fire Marshal Inspector there were some minor, but very important changes to do. All the interior key locks had to be thumb turn locks and I had to upgrade to lever hardware. Then I needed an emergency exit light over the front door, a commercial fire extinguisher from a certified company and a guard rail along the upper deck. Done! I passed. Now my final work this week is to have the City of Lilburn do their inspection and issue a business license!

Lots of news on the horizon! Look for author book signings, some wonderful artist items and a little bit of Steampunk coming your way in February!

If you are an author and would like a book signing or an artist who would like a small show, please contact me with your e-mail address! Musicians welcomed to come sit a spell and play for us! We are going to rock at 94 Main Street!
