Getting down to our last days at the shop and all of the prices have been slashed, hee! Really. There are a few wonderful pieces left. I think I will be bringing home this desk and chair… I'm going to miss having the shop to stylize and socialize in. It's like an extension of my…

Angel Aviles-McClinton from Media Mojito had interviewed me last August and I never realized until today that it had been posted on her site in September. You can check it out here. Merci beaucoup Angel!

Well, due to two compelling factors — business is booming and I underestimated the volume of treasures to liquidate — Blossom Home will remain open through the month of October. Yippee!
