Camera Crisis

As Brett went off to shoot the alumni game at Calhoun City Saturday night, he discovered the camera had died. Soooooooo, no pictures of the NEW GOODIES that have arrived. And we have lots of new goodies, so this is the point I'll have to ask my blog readers to use their imaginations!

We have in some new credenzas and cabinets from Stein World, new lamps, and due to arrive later this week lots of new wall decor.

I have also packed up our sick widdle camera and mailed it off to Nikon for repair. Keep your fingers crossed for a swift recovery.

What's Hot

Sugar molds, wooden bowls, and wood wall brackets -- that's what! I was thinking "why wood all of a sudden?" Then it dawned on me that people are ready for summer and more outdoorsy type stuff and eating on the patio or deck and making their dining table more informal and...well, I guess wood just fits the bill!
Metal wall pieces remain popular for outdoor and indoor use too and more are one the way soon. Some great wall planters and other wall pieces coming soon.

Shower Reminder - Jesi Rogers this weekend

Just a reminder that the shower for Jesi Rogers, bride-elect of Jim McCormick, will be this Sunday, April 19. Jesi registered for a large curio at Artifacts (t0 house her large collection of crystal she tells us!) and if you would like your name added to the list as a gift-giver, just give me a call (983-8481) or email me & we'll make sure you're represented at her shower.

We have several new furniture pieces in -- tables, credenzas, decorative curios, bombe chests -- and lots of new lamps. Also some great metal wall pieces that would look good inside or out. Come see us!

Lamps and More

We have several new sets of lamps in (because we're having a run on lamps lately -- with bridal selections and with people just needing to spruce up their homes for spring.) I thought these were especially pretty and looked good with this bowl & tray.

We also got in one of the prettiest credenza/console pieces we've ever had. I have to get the styrofoam it's shipped with out of it & get it up front so it can be seen better. Until I do you blog readers and web page browsers will get the first peek at it. I mean this piece would make a STATEMENT in an entryway! Would also be great as a dining room buffet, wouldn't it?

Shower Reminder - Chris Suber & Emily Rawlings

Shower will be this weekend... See all their selections on the Bridal Selections Page

Welcome Sign....

Another great (busy) weekend at the store, with lots of new stuff in to see on the webpage and on facebook.

Just wanted to post this picture of the large metal welcome sign that a local girl (who now lives away.... how dare she leave Calhoun County??) picked for her housewarming present from someone who told her to come in Artifacts and pick something out for herself. I was thinking she might use it in a foyer or a living room, but it looks great outside on her chimney! Way to go, Steph! :)

How Many King Men Does It Take....

.... to move one small corner cabinet!?? HA! That's the heading I thought of when I snapped this photo of both of them reaching for the same 1 pound shelf!

But then again... I won't fuss at them too much because they finished hauling 2 pickup loads of the Kimzey estate stuff, unloaded the pickups, unloaded the NEW STEIN WORLD goodies (See photos on Furniture Page) that came on an 18 wheeler (the driver asked if we had a forklift & Mike said, "You're looking at him...." but the driver was really sweet & helped them unload), and they also loaded some sinks for a new customer in Mathiston who is remodeling 2 houses, and made deliveries. I have a feeling they will be pooped when they get in!
