Bienvenue!

Welcome!
Now that we are no longer a "Brick & Mortar" as The Corner Store, we have set up this blog to keep in touch with our many many friends and customers that graced our store in El Cajon for over 5 years....Thank you!  We are blessed by you and hold many special memories in our hearts.

After closing in April, Dee has been resting a shoulder injury (...may-be a little too much furniture moving?)  and Jann took off to Europe for a couple of months.

We are looking at new locations for a store...but in the mean time are busying ourselves with temporary opportunities.  We will be posting our upcoming events on this blog spot so that you can easily check out our schedule and come see what's new...or, vintage...or, "oh so creative"...or just plain fabulous that we have found.  Our little creative minds are spinning and our workrooms are humming...is that the sound of a sander or what? So, we hope you will make it a habit (one of those good ones) to see what we are up to!

I am always amazed and inspired by the beautiful landscapes and stately cities of Europe...here are a
few highlights:
   
The duomo in Milan

 



 
                     "Lago di Guarda"




Venice, of course



Siena, Italy

(and funny) traveling "amiche" Kim and Yvette.



You might recognize this little icon.






TheDordogne river valley, France.
Full of ancient castles, chateaus, and beautiful...well eveything there is beautiful.


You might have noticed, I like doorways, windows, and arches...can't help it. They always make me wonder what's beyond.
