Make-a-Day-of-It: Shop By Neighborhood

Thank you Mpls StPaul magazine!  

May/June 2013: 'Where the Experts Shop: An Insider's Guide to Antiques, Vintage, and Midcentury'

Vintage  "Quirky, independent stores chock full of interesting pieces, from furniture to barware. Go straight to the good stuff with our list of shops."

Buffalo  "Just 40 minutes west of Minneapolis, this lakefront town is a hub for vintage and antique shopping—particularly if you like cottage and shabby chic. Plan your visit for the first weekend (**note date edit) of each month when the occasional stores are open. Don’t miss The Porch & Atelier (32 Central Ave., 763-684-1254, theporchatelier.blogspot.com) for a Paris flea market vibe." (**date edit by The PORCH & Atelier: shops are open the first Thursday through Sunday of each month.)

We're more than pleased to be included in this issue - we have the best customers, and love what we do!  ~TERESA

JUNE 4/6-7-8-9 Preview ONE~

Photo tour - have fun!  More photos to come in the next few days, too.

Off to get the Sunday load, TERESA

We love our shop cards - and PARIS doors~

And, here is our latest/newest card!  
You are the first to see it~

This card's design began with a photo of a favorite PARIS door (our 2012 visit).  The gorgeous, colorful doors complement the pale stone buildings well.

All the news from the card back.  Thanks for following our shop hours, we know it's not easy and we love seeing you!

Ah - that's my sister Jeanne - she was with Adam and I in 2012

And, ooh la la, more PARIS doors for you, in bleu

And more~

I love it!  Everything from great old chippy-paint doors to fresh and updated-to-the-minute looks.

That's what I work with everyday, can it get any better?

If I like the staging, I want to move right in~

More Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint on my favorite furniture style: curved-front sideboard or chest; updated in a MMSMP typewriter black/grain sack mix~

Yes, I admit I have a problem.  I love old clay pots.
