Noelle greeted us at the door...
...dressed in a spectacular gown of glittery sea-foam
and paper snowflakes.

Yes...the Holiday Open House
Icy blues mixed with silver and crystals sparkled
from every corner of this wonderful shop.
True to its location by the sea...glass jars of pearly white shells, sand dollars and starfish are always a staple here.
Rustic antiques with worn paint and rough textures
play against the elegant shiny surfaces of mercury glass and glitter.
A touch of whimsy...a touch of red...a few rusty bells...
...and it's Christmas!
Inspiring vignettes are everywhere.
In the children's corner sits a tall cupboard full of soft and cuddly blankets, knit caps and tiny fur snowsuits.
Perched on top was this sweet sign.
I love the look of black and white with silver and glass.
...and look at these flameless candles....don't they look real?
Next to the elegant and sparkly side of things...
...a quieter woodland theme was throughout the shop.
There were owls in every shape and size.
Michele does a wonderful job of mixing antiques and vintage items with new gifts and decor.
Paula spied this vintage apothecary jar filled with white buttons
and brought it home with her.
The beautiful Michele and Noelle posed for just a moment
during their busy open house...
It was a wonderful way to start off the holiday season...
...lots of inspiration and creative ideas as well as beautiful gifts, home decor, jewelry, gorgeous women's clothing and antique finds!
If you are in the area this holiday season...
...a stop at Taken For Granite is a must!
