I love when my dealers at Country Roads put together little "vignettes". I do that in different places in my own home as well. The one above is filled with stuff from a trip to Maui years ago when the kids were little. Old soda bottles I got over there, a couple of photos of the kids first surfing lessons, and random "stuff".
Here is my "Riley Vignette" little cabinet. It has random stuff like an old red straw she clung to the first time she went swimming in my pool, a boomerang Brande brought back for her from Australia, just special little things. Morgan will soon have one as well as I gather little special things!
This little cabinet is filled with my own special stuff. A glass full of my parents old watches and watch faces, an old Valentine candy box that Bryce had given me one year when he was a little boy. Just stuff, but stuff that means a whole lot to me!
Everything in this little display is held in an old vintage Red Cross case. It's all my parents things, letters, old pictures, lots of my dads stuff from WWII. I really like to group my special things that hold so many memories for me. I guess that's why I love antiques and vintage things so much. At one time, a lot these things were special to someone, and now they are in my home and are very special to me as well!
Part of the appeal of Country Roads is the "vignettes" that so many of my talented family continue to put together!
The above are some pictures of only one of Margaret's three areas in the store. Margaret and her daughter Leslie, I have been with Country Roads since day one when we opened on January 2nd, 1993.
I don't think I'm alone when I talk about the appeal of chippy white paint!
I love this little vignette. So fresh and white and well displayed. I have a love affair as is with childrens little things.
The photos above are courtesy of Pat Fillipi who also has three areas in the store. Pat is by far one of the sweetest people I have ever met, and I've also known Pat forever! You may remember Pat and Margaret from their adventures at Warrenton last month! As I always say, Country Roads is truly a family in every sense of the word. If you haven't visited us in awhile, you need to come shop "the shops of Country Roads"! I promise you will have lots of fun!
