Clearance Event on Now!

It's your lucky week!
Shanty is hosting it's first Clearance Sale of the year, January 27-30!
This Thursday through Sunday, you'll find already marked-down items at Shanty an additional 30% off. The mark-down doesn't mean the pieces aren't still perfect for the season, or that they won't be just as perfect next year. It just means we've got some fabulous new stuff dropping in and must make room. Hello, spring!

If you're not too swept up by the Clearance prices, spend some time picking up Valentine's Day novelties, too. We have sweet little items for your honey, pals and kiddos. Let them all know you love them with a little something from Shanty.

P.S. We'll also be putting some new stuff on the sale racks.
P.P.S. Hurry in for the best selection.

Save the Date

One month from today!! It's that time. The winter Who Let the girls Out is Nov 6th. I love the winter WLTGO because it is when we debut Christmas..so its a super fun way to start the season off. FYI...I am lovin what we have been receiving. Super cute!

For those of you who have not been to a WLTGO then  here is the scoop. Its a Shop Hop that includes eight GREAT stores. GRAB a passport at your first shop, have it STAMPED at each shop, then TURN IN for a chance to WIN eight different prizes. Okay that's the "rules"...let's talk more about the FUN!

At each shop you will find a party going on....food...drinks....and lots of local love. We have a surpise gift this year we are excited to share with you.  Here at Shanty we will also be having a gift with purchase.

I am going to do another post soon giving you a little more info on the other seven stores. It is an awsome group with a great variety.

Wishin I Had a Coffee Table in My Kitchen

What is it about cookbooks? Beautiful Cookbooks? I know it's just not me!! How many of you love them...whether you ever make a recipe out of it or not? They inspire us to cook how we would love to if we had time. They accessorize our kitchen showing off our domestic personalities...again whether we actually use it or not. Look at your collection....does it tell your domestic goddess story?

We are receiving so many wonderful cookbooks at the the store that it's hard not to get a little happy with Fall. School starts, schedules start, and we gather around the table a little bit more. We have books for soups, slowcookers, casseroles, and baking everything.


I am loving them all but I am so excited about 2 newly published ones that really are just so great looking. Somewhat rustic...wholesome...made from scratch...earthy....



DIY Delicious
"Recipes and Ideas for Simple Food from Scratch"

for the Urban Farmer at heart....

Make jams, granola, and pickles in a snap. Take your time and make cheeses and yogurt with pure flavor. You can even learn to brew your own rootbeer (and be the coolest mom on the block). Bake breads and crackers to pair with your Fig-Rosemary Jam and Persimmon-Spiced Butter.



Wholesome Kitchen
"delicious recipes with beans, lentils, grains and other natural foods"


"EAT MORE GRAINS"
This book inspires me to do just that!

Maybe I will try this Carrot & Lenil Dip for the "Twist of Autumn"
Shanty party on the 25th.

Come in and see the great selection. Grab a coffee, sit in our comfy orange chairs and browse them all.
Get Inspired!
