Home Sweet Home

We are finally home after 20 days of sun filled adventures in Southern Europe.  Pictures to come very soon, I promise!!  Stopped by the store to drop off a sweet souvenir to Sally (say that 3x fast) and saw many empty holes in my booth.  Luckily I came home to 6 boxes of gorgeous new merchandise to bring up to my Gillyweed space ASAP.

     I also had to reorder more leather cuffs and sentiments.. boy you guys are loving these unique bracelets.  The one above exemplifies our recent trip.. Life is either a great adventure or nothing!  All lovingly made in the United States too!  And look at the new cuff colors....

 Silver and Embossed Red.

Gorgeous.. Enjoy!

Miss me yet??

One more week to go.. see you soon!

Lemoncholie

As some of you know I started out with the business name Lemoncholie which I loved loved loved.. but I discovered a jewelry designer who named her business Lemoncholie and even though she lived up north, I didn't want to ruffle any feathers.  So I went with my 2nd choice, which I have grown to love, Gillyweed.  But Lemoncholie always remains with me and I will eventually name our beach bungalow this quirky name!  In the meantime I've gotten to the sewing machine and created some adorable new items for Gillyweed which will sport a Lemoncholie label.. what do you think?

My seashell lamp got a new face lift.. a custom made shade with quirky fish swimming on it.  Still priced at $125, it is a steal.

especially after seeing Pottery Barn's version which runs between $169-$199.

Here is a close up of the shad.. notice the pink piping.

 

And finally a too stinking cute feather stuffed pillow made from an antique European grain sack and fabric remnants, $55.  I've always wanted to start a pillow line after seeing similar pillows at the mart

 

with a $125 and up retail price tag.  Not for me.. and not for you!  Both pieces are going to the Gillyweed booth located inside The Vintage-Flea, Newnan.

Enjoy!

Travel in Style

In two weeks I will be officially on my vacation trip to Europe visiting relatives and couldn't be more excited.  So I was also really happy to get in my order from Inventive Travelware before leaving!  These bag tags are ridiculously cute (and funny). 

Bag Tags are $3.50 each!  What are your plans this summer?? 

Enjoy!

Fresh Finds for June

    Just when I thought my favorite soaps couldn't get any better.. the company released 4 new spring/summer fragrances this year.  All of these Shea Butter soaps are amazing for your skin!! 

Passion Flower & Olive Oil

African Violet & Cocoa Butter

Zinnia & Aloe Butter (w/apricot seeds)

and finally Black Currant & Olive Butter.  I'm in heaven.. $6.00 each.

Also new are these beautiful hand painted coasters which will display your soaps so proudly!  $6.50 each.

 

And finally a wonderful assortment of cotton scarves arrived this week... hmm if only I could find some models for them???

 

Luckily my daughter and her friends happily volunteered.. after I bribed them with crepes this morning!!  Thank you Olivia (my sweetie), Katie, Olivia, and Jaxs.

Enjoy!

À BIENTÔT

Barcelona, South of France, and Rome.....

Those are the destinations this summer when we head over to Europe next month and we are so excited.  It has been almost 3 years since the kids and I have been overseas to visit the family.  Albert went over by himself last year to see his mother and since the price of flying is so expensive, we stayed behind.  Why didn't I get a job at Delta back in my travel agent days!!!!  So this time it is our turn to tag along and boy what a trip this will be.  My mother-in-law is planning a 5 day excursion to Rome which will include 2 RV's for 7 adults and 5 children.  OMG!  I call the RV without my mother-in-law.. ha ha.  So as I prepare for this trip I have temporarily shut down the Gillyweed online boutique.  I hope to have many beautiful new things (some antiques from Europe) to showcase on the site in August.  Until then....
