Pigeon in the Parlour

In my previous post I mentioned stopping in Holly, Michigan and finding a little store called

*Pigeon in the Parlour*.

The pictures on this post are ones that I snapped inside this gorgeous place. I do wish I
had taken more because several of them turned out blurry. That is what happens when
the picture taker doesn't really know what she is doing. ha!

I met and loved chatting with the owner whose name was Emily. Such a pretty lady that
makes you feel right at home as soon as you step inside the door.

Unbeknownst to us, there was a Christmas open house going on in the village so our timing was great.
 The store was decorated from top to bottom and was just beautiful.

I don't remember if these were candlesticks or lamps , but t heir glittery beauty
just drew me right in. I do love glitz and glamm!

This whole booth had mostly Peacock Park items in it. *sigh*

Another lovely booth full of pillows and other amazing treasures.

Sparkly, silver ornaments in several booths in different shapes and sizes...my favorite!

I thought this pillow was so pretty! In case you didn't know...I have a *thing* for pillows. :)

This is the lovely sign that sits outside on the sidewalk.

Just pure beauty everywhere...I love the style of clothes also!

A beautiful wreath made out of coffee filters caught my eye. 

I was soooooooo good. This is all I purchased along with the December issue of Romantic Homes
magazine. I thought this tag was so unique and  fell in love with the little silver ornies.  I hope you
enjoyed my small tour of this amazing store. There is so much more to see than I have shown
 including a huge WALL of Annie Sloan Chalk paint  and the Vintage by Nina book.

If you are ever in or near Holly, Michigan I suggest you stop in and take in all the beauty.
Be sure and tell Emily that I sent you. :)

I am blessed! {with goodies from Peacock Park}

I have been a busy beaver again this week, but I wanted to take some time and show you what I
brought home with me from the big Peacock Park sale last weekend.

Don't you just love these beautiful bags? I sure do! 

I believe that Gina told me that these are in her new line.  She was so sweet! I was carrying around a
 few things and she told me I needed a box so I followed her to the other side of her warehouse where
she found me an empty box to hold my treasures. If you haven't met her, she is one amazing lady!
 I think she has more energy in her big toe than I have in my whole body. ha!

This wreath!!!!!! I spied this across the tent on the first day and made a beeline for it.
I am glad I did because I didn't see any more and ladies were asking us where we found it.

music paper holly leaves with added glitter and glam...perfect!

I couldn't pass up a stack of simple muslin aprons and runners for 50 cents and 1.00 each.
{depending on what day you purchased them...regular day or half off day. I did both!}

I have been wanting a large lantern so was very pleased when I found this one with all
the glass intact. She had several that were missing glass and while it would not have been
hard to have glass cut for them, I don't have to now. :)

A beautiful picture that I picked up and carried around the first day and just couldn't decide , but
decided fast on the half off day. :)

Are you ready for this bloggy friends??? Gina also had a FREE pile! I brought home 20 of these chippy
 table legs and will use them for shelf brackets and who knows what else. 

She was also giving away tons of these wooden buckets! They were originally a dark color, but I
have painted five of them so far and am fixing them up. First, I picked up a stack of five, but then
we found out there were unopened boxes on pallets so I also nabbed a full box!

{ disclaimer: no one was hurt in the shuffle and scuffle of grabbing free items...rofl!
everyone behaved in a ladylike manner at least when I was there. }

I have big plans for these so I hope it works out. ha! One lady nabbed two boxes to utilize them
 for her daughters wedding.

All in all it was a fun day and truth be told this is my big hurrah for the year. Hubby and I never
seem to go on a true vacation ,so we take mini vacays to visit our kids and love it when we find
stops like this along the way.

I did get a few other items that didn't make the photos yet. Some silver glittered jingle bells,
another printed tote...not sure what else, but I think most of it made the photos. I hope you
enjoyed seeing all my goodies. Happy Thursday!!
