    Melissa, What a fun shop! I want to go there this weekend – too bad I am in Texas! Thanks for your thoughts on the Veranda post – I am feeling like maybe I was just in a funk and too negative – of course those houses are perfect, and they do inspire good design for those of us who study them! I always appreciate your perspective – Happy weekend to you too.

    Love their shop and had the opportunity to see the write up in Country Living magazine. I was given a heads up to the article from some of the home town girls, where either Kara or Darcy, had a shop – Turlock, CA. I never had the opportunity to visit the store, however have heard wonderful things about them and their items they sell. Too bad they are so far away, however if ever back in Ohio, they will be on the map for must visits.

    Thanks for sharing, Melissa. Happy Mother’s Day, too! You are such a beautiful mother!!
