Anniversary Sale next weekend at Polly Ann's!!!

More to look forward to...

More pictures from spring last year... I simply can't wait!

I hope I'm able to find more of these little tables and chairs to offer... check that... I'm GOING to find more of these little tables and chairs to offer... :0)... that's better, Pol!

I just love how shabby this set was... SOOO much fun to play with!

I've expanded my letter collection by the thousands and have a container for each letter so it's so easy to put together whatever you like. I have the racks, too!

Springtime, colorful dishes make me so very happy!

Fear not!... Spring is coming! ... it's already arriving at Polly Ann's

SO... officially we have "booger freezing weather" here in Iowa today, BUT... I'm not worried! Why not? you ask... WELL... I've made it past the 1st of February, Valentine's Day is just around the corner, the sun is shining beautifully today and we've seen quite a bit of it lately. The days continue to get longer each and every day and I've got myself surrounded at the shop with pastels and florals in nearly every nook and cranny, corner and shelf! Best of all... it's supposed to reach well into the 30's and possibly even 40 over the weekend!

If you are worried about whether you are going to make it through, take a few moments to peruse the pictures below and on our website and close your eyes and feel the warmth of the bright sunshine. Better yet... stop by the shop and see all the pretty spring colors yourself and take home one of my hand-poured soy candles in our signature French Market scent and each time you walk past it and get a whiff of the wonderful springtime scent, you'll remember to "Fear not!... Spring is coming!"

My husbands newest creation... already sold!

This is what my honey created from some of the left over seats of the church pews... he's amazing! The set sold right away at the show in Anamosa last Sunday. He does such fantastic work... I wonder what he'll make next.
