GLOBES are high on the list of things to collect right now.
Do you collect or want to start a collection of them?
The ones in the first picture are some we have in the shop right now.
Picture 2 is of people's collections.  Too cute!



Don't you want a collection like these?

Here is the sign that the participating shops will have in their windows this weekend.
Remember if you buy anything in any of them they should enter you in the drawing for one of the 10 $50.00 Gift Certificates.  If they don't offer then ask!

Hope you see you in town!!

With the new bring your own bag or pay for one in the grocery stores I thought this was an interesting article.  I never knew this or even thought about it.  Smart lady!

We just put in 3 new furniture pieces.

This one is a beauty. 
 It's a document cabinet, but would hold tons of scrapbooking supplies, beads, photos, etc. etc. etc.
You don't see these very often.


This oak chest of drawers is in super condition.


This is wonderful!  Large county cupboard with 4 shelfs inside.  Would hold lots of stuff!

Did you ever make these?  I have and they are pretty darn good.  Kids love them.  Summer's coming and it's never too late to start thinking cool things to eat.   Here's the easy, easy recipe.

 1 pkg instant pudding, 1 1/2c milk, 2c cool whip. Dissolve pudding in milk, whip in cool whip. Spoon into 3 oz dixie cups and insert popsicle stick. Freeze.

MY FRIENDS AND I are of course participating and will be doing both sales and drawings.  Lots of stores will be participating (almost everyone in town) and are planning either sales, drawings or both.  
If you purchase something at any of the participating stores those 2 days you will be entered in special Niles drawings for four $50.00 Gift Certificates that can be used in any of the participating stores.
FUN!

This is a sign that I've seen thousands of times when entering Niles from Mission Blvd. 
I found this on line while messing around and it had me doing a second look.  Everything looks different when you single it out in a photo.  A little cropping (car, etc) and it would make a great postcard to send to friends and family.

Spring time in Niles is so pretty.   These wild roses with the flag in the back ground, perfect!
I am also posting different pictures on facebook.  If you haven't liked us yet, click My Friends and I in blue to the left and like us.   I'd love to see comments both here and there from you all.

These little easter bunnies are on sale 1/2 off in Space #1.  Come and see what else is on sale.


We get the most beautiful views from my back yard.  These are the hills along Mission Blvd. by Stevenson.   Look at that color.  I almost missed it when I ran in to get my camera.
Take time to enjoy nature.  It's always wonderful.
