The “Cottage in the Garden” Sale is over and I feel so awesome about the success of the 2 days. I had between 55-65 people who came to my Outdoor Room, sales were good, I didn’t sell everything, but it was an incredible beginning and my consignees are pleased. What a pleasure to meet so many nice people. That was such a part of the success.
I can’t resist this picture taken last night after “store hours“. How beautiful is this? It is those lamps. My lamps didn’t sell like I expected, but I had them plugged in and turned on all day and even into the evening last night. Am I the only one who feels this way about the glow of a lamp?
I think lamps make a room come alive, inside and outside. Lamps bring such an ambiance to any room, even in my Outdoor Room transformed into a Cottage in the Garden Showroom, but now everything is put away until the next Cottage in the Garden Sale.
It is after dark again, where is the light switch?

Good morning Joan. Thank you for your comment. Wow, I have to say I loved the Cottage in the Garden Sale too. I had the most incredible people come through the “store” and the gardens. It was awesome for me to watch people enjoy what I enjoy so much. Of course the gardens reflect alot of hard work but it tells alot about my life. I loved our conversation we had on Saturday and the some common ground. That day for me was way more than a sale, but about new relationships and friends. Have a great afternoon and thanks again for staying in touch. I will keep you “posted” on next month’s sale.
Susanne
