Yummy fall candles just in!

I realize this picture does this poor little glittery leaf absolutely no justice. But, these are the most sparkly fall leaves for those of us who love a little bling.
I really was writing a post to let you know the fall candles are in. I just didnt have a picture of them to post with it....I just finished unpacking them. I swear you will never find a better pumpkin spice candle. It is the best! Other wonderful scents are Cider-n-cinnamon, almond biscotti, plumberry spice, home sweet home, pumpkin latte, cranberries-n-cloves, spicy cranberry......you just have to come take a sniff.

A few of my favorite things....

Love this new design of custom welcome signs! We have many styles....come check them out...perfect wedding gift.
Ahhhh, an even better wedding gift. Placed on a little easel on the guest book table....adorable. Then on the wall under a wedding picture in the couple's new home.....brilliant.

Had to include a picture of this new chair. I have to resist taking it home everyday. It is sooo cute. You cant really see in the picture but the back has rhinestone buttons. Cute!

I know I have shown you these cupcake stands before but I cannot stop loving them. They are soooooo cute. Look here, look here at them on these amazing black and white plates......you probably just want to sit down at this adorable table and have a party but let me just warn you....that is the same cupcake I took pics of on the cupcake pedestals three weeks ago...:)


Seriously, this could be my favorite little display at the Golden Pear.......EVER.


Crazy cute stuff....just in!

I dont know why this picture is sideways........oooops. Adorable tin Admit One sign that would be the coolest in a home theater. I personally do not have a home theater but would absolutely appreciate one if anyone cares.?......just sayin' Oh, and the adorable sign....$15

Colored pencil canvas....we have a couple different ones......love, love, love these.....so bright and cheery....these would look fantastic in my art/craft room....oh yah, I dont have one of those either.....dang.

Wooden birdie plaques......darling. Did I mention they are only $9.95 each? Dang, that Golden Pear is the bomb.........and affordable......wow.

These are also canvases (gallery wrapped, which means the picture contines around the sides) that are super cool for dad.....father's day is comin' right up...They are titled "Car lights" There is acutally one more that is not pictured.






I love this.......there is an alphabet one too......took one set home last night for Ms. Emma's room....perfect!

Framing like crazy!

This turned out really cool.....it is a signed Joey Wong photo of him making a double play. It is double framed in two stacked frames, orange and black.
This is a collage of Senior pictures of Ms. Madeline. Uh, can you say hot? and Im not talking about my stellar framing.......plus she is a sweetie. Ok, the framing is pretty great too....metalic gold rice paper bottom mat, navy blue suede top mat with that cool aged gold frame.


Ok, how sweet is this? To make it even sweeter a really nice guy came in with this idea for his wife for Mother's day ALL BY HIMSELF. It turned out darling. They have three boys and both little t-shirts have the hospital names stamped on them. He said, "Couldn't find the youngest boy's t shirt, but that is his hat." Guess he came home naked.

Here is the lettering up close on this cool matting. The girl's names run thru Boppa's Girls. Adorable.



What grandpa wouldn't like this for his birthday?
