Open House ~ This Saturday ~ 9:00 - 6:00

These happy faces will greet you at the door!

Several years back, I walked into Ms. Wendy's for the first time. It was during grand opening and at that moment I fell in love with this great shop. Shortly afterwards, I became a dealer with my friend Sharon and had the most fun decorating our room, and working there.

Well things in every day life got in the way and I thought it would be best to move out, but not for long, I came back again but again I left.

Then when I thought I could make a real go of it, along came the Plum Tree Antiques and after moving into Wendy's one last time, I moved out once again. (believe me there is no revolving door) I would not have blamed Wendy if she dropped me off the face of the earth, but she never once made me feel bad for any of my decisions and has remained a great friend all these years.

Just like her shop, Wendy is original and genuine, I stay connected to Ms. Wendy's by continuing to create her blog each week. And although I don't get there as often as I like, when I do it always feels like home to me.

So this Saturday, be sure to join Wendy and her dealers to celebrate yet another great year during Fall Open House. Take your time to browse around, enjoy the great refreshments, and take something home that you or someone else will treasure for years, even if it is simply a remarkable day!

Beautiful tree ornaments

I love a bed on the porch, someplace to relax during the day and a cozy sleeping spot on a cool fall night.

Lots of fall decor

Ah, Chocolate ~ A girls best friend in any fashion
Spooky Halloween decor
...and costumes


This little shelf looks great with a few favorite collectibles
This is not your Mother's silver set ~ tarnished but beautiful

Lots of cloches and ideas for displaying them

I just love these angels, perfect for a mantel display

Who could resist these neat denim shoes...plain

or with bling

Like I've said, you can find anything at Ms.Wendy's


We look forward to seeing you this weekend, come early and stay late!

Decking the Halls with Fall Ya'll

Wow, someone's been busy getting ready for Open House, counting down the days until Saturday, October 4th. Look at all these great fall pieces, perfect to dress your favorite rooms for the holidays ahead.

This beautiful arrangement would be perfect to fill the front of a fireplace while the weather is still on the warm side.

Old mantels have so many uses and can actually give you the feel of a real fireplace. Just add a multi stand of candles or old gas heater.

While all of these pieces are inviting, I just love the rusted candle holder at the top of the photo, it would make the ideal centerpiece over a mantel and then work your way out on either side with great fall finds. It could even be attached to an old shutter or architectural piece first to give it more depth.

A great idea for your front porch to welcome guests
Lots of Pumpkins

Scented candles and potpourri

This big bunch of mums look great against this old door, another great outdoor look for the fall.
Haunting displays, the old oval frame with only it's glass give a creepy ghostly appearance.

HAPPY HUNTING

A fallen leaf is nothing more than a summers wave good bye

Wendy and the gang are getting the store ready for their annual Fall Open House, Saturday October 4th. She came by the Plum Tree yesterday to tell me about what they are planning and to show me some of the new things she bought. She also brought me the most beautiful gift of a bracelet from a line of jewelry she will be selling at Ms. Wendy's. This line is very one of a kind and is beautifully handcrafted, take a peek below to see some of the pieces she will be featuring.

I can tell by the photos that Wendy and her dealers have been working hard at getting the store ready for Open House so mark your calenders for Saturday, October 4th.

Handcrafted bracelets created from vintage coins and watches, all one of a kind.
