The Rusty Gate


I have spent the last several days at our old house. 
I visited with the ladies who own and operate The Rusty Gate in our town square.
 
 
 
 Jean, the visionary, who owns the shop was so wise to leave the chippy walls in the front windows. Tracy, her daughter designs the window displays beautifully.



 The mink with Blue Boy behind it is stunning.
I will be quiet and let you look around now.




Some items pictured are mine and are sold on consignment. 
Jean and Tracy allow me to indulge my hobby of shopping and treasure hunting without adding to the volume of my houses.


may joy and peace surround you
