Happy Monday & Guest Room Progress

Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's back to work I go...Time sure flies when you're having fun and I did enjoy myself over Spring Break last week. I want to thank you all for your sweet comments and prayers as we marked one year since losing Kaely.  I'm not going to lie, I was very emotional this weekend.  I still wrestle with fear every time my own children walk out the door.  I want to put them all in a bubble where they'll be forever safe from the choices … [Read more...]

It’s the Armoire’s Fault… Among Other Things

Well, you know what they say about the road to you-know-where... I had high hopes in the DIY department.  I mean REALLY high hopes.  I had a holiday weekend staring me in the face, with the hubs out of town, and DIY supplies galore at my fingertips.

Up and Running!

Woo hoo, we are officially open for business at the newest Queen of Hearts Antiques and Interiors location!  The last couple of weeks have been hour-to-hour as far as whether we had the Certificate of Occupancy and could get moved in.  I re-tagged much of my inventory from my previous space, and had new things to add in, so I was (and my garage was) in quite a state! But it's up and running and we have a Holiday Open House on Tuesday November … [Read more...]
