It's almost time!! The Autumn open house is Saturday and we are very excited. UPS is bringing us new items everyday! It's a new season at the Shanty. We have Big Buddha Purses, Pick Up Sticks Jewelry, scarves, the cutest kids hats you've ever seen, and more Naughty Betty stationary...those cards that crack us up!!...and that's just getting us started! It's supposed to be a beautiful day so hopefully we'll be able to enjoy the backyard. Have you had a chance to sip a glass of wine and sit in

our swing? It's great. We'll see you soon!

A Chill is in the Air

Brrrr.....the mornings are definetly shouting Autumn!!! Time to start looking for the perfect coat to keep you toasty warm AND looking fabulous.

Must Haves

1) Everyone needs a good basic...black, brown or grey coat... classy, yet doesn't take away from the cool outfit underneath

2) You also need a coat that IS the outfit...that's the fun one! Check these out...

Fall Is Falling onto the Shanty

We've been getting so many great things in to cozy up your home for fall. Here is a little tour around the store....just a little.....

Archipelago Candle Paramour, a blend of pomegranate, papaya and Mango, smells sooooo good!

I love this bird cage! I think it would be a great table center piece and can be changed for different seasons. Imagine white pumpkins in it for fall, and vintage antique glass ornaments for Christmas.

Numbered ANYTHING is the trend in home decor right now. These votives are so cool. You can grab a random number that speaks to you or pick one that means something...like a special date.

See...numbers again!! Your address maybe? Put these on your windowsill with some Rosemary.

We have new styles of aprons just right for making that big pot of soup...yummmmm!
