Let the magic begin...

Paperwhites already started for you!  You know how your paperwhites always get really tall and fall over and aren't as cute then?  No worries, these are dwarf paperwhites!  Perfect for your dining room table, mantle, sofa table or wherever you want a little flower and fragrance when the days are dark and dreary. 
Love these barnwood birdhouses....locally made. 
Ok, so I am a tick obsessed with burlap everything.  The burlap stockings are soooo cute!  I know posted about them already but I cannot stop.  Obsessed, I said.

Another thing I love about Fall.........

I love Fall.  LOVE IT.  I love football games, (ok, lets be honest, I really dont know what is going on but I love the atmosphere), breaking out the sweaters and boots, oh, and new coats.  I have a thing for coats.  I could buy way too many.  I love crockpot dinners, candles burning, crisp mornings, apples, and of course, DECORATING FOR FALL!  After a long dry spell of decorating......Easter maybe?  I don't do much for July 4th because it always sneaks up on me but every year I swear I will put out my super cute firecracker wreath and I forgot every time!  So.......here are some inspiration pics for you to enjoy.  We have all the new Autumn scents of Hobble Creek Candles in!  Baked Apple Pie, Pumpkin Spice (truly the best Pumpkin Spice on the market), Cloves and Cinnamon, Cranberries and Cloves, Plumberry Spice and the list goes on and on.  Plus, adorable new glitter pumpkins, Fused Glass plates, Vintage Halloween people....and more!
Order custom stickers for your pumpkins......soooo easy.  In stock we have BOO, EEK and several others.  All under $5! 
A little inspiration pic.  It is time, time to decorate your home!

Franny!

Meet Franny the Scarecrow!  She is a fashionista with some crazy good dance moves.  She scares away the crows and makes all of the other scarecrow boys swoon.  She is headed to Central Willamette for display until Oct. 28th.  Then she will be auctioned off at a party at Calapooia Brewing Company to benefit the Albany Boys and Girls Club Dental Clinic program!  She rocks!

Amazing Celtic Sea salts are just in!

I realize I have a custom framing store.......but when you love a product as much as I love this you just have to carry it in your own store!  I am serious people......serious about this salt.  It is a gourmet sea salt blend made with fresh herbs and garlic.  There are four different flavors, Southwest with fragrant cilantro, garlic, oregano, cumin and lime juice.  Oh and did I mention they are organic? Yup.  Anywho, Original flavor, Thai Chili Blend with thai chilies added and my favorite, Greek Blend.  It has garlic, spearmint, oregano, lemon juice and pepper.  It truly is incredible on everything.  Perfect for any kind of meat rub, crazy good on fresh tomatoes or cucumber out of the garden, eggs, french fries........whatever.  Add the Southwest one to your salsa recipe.....beyond great!Check out her website for awesome recipes http://www.earthandseasalts.com/

I am back!!!

I am just going to put it out there.....I am a bad blogger....I know, I know, my one fan is real excited I am back to my blog (hi mom)  but I am going to put a little more effort into this thing.  Summer was excellent and super duper busy but now Fall is in the air.  Ok, ok, not today at 95 degrees.....whoa, that is hot.  But football has started so it must be time for sweaters, boots, crockpot dinners, candles, and all that is fall! 
New stuff at the Pear keeps coming in every day.  Rob, my UPS man and I are buddies.  When I see him pull up outside the shop my heart skips a beat.  He is not hard on the eyes either......just sayin'.  :)  Cute new charms make the greatest girlfriend gift. 
Check out the super cute yoga frogs.  They are hilarious.  Did I tell you I am into yoga?  No, well I am only "into it" in my head.  I really, really want to be into it but it hasn't happened quite yet.  I did buy a mat and passes to Love Yoga in downtown Albany but still haven't actually gone.  It is totally on my list tho so that should count for something.  Soon, real soon.  Promise. 

Ahhh, cake pedestals......these are sooo cute.  Vintage inspired which means, they used molds copied from the 1950's and made new ones!  They are sooo cute with a little picture frame and nest on the coffee table for some height or on a bookshelf with candles on them or of course for any dessert in the kitchen...I use mine constantly and rotate them all over the house.  LOVE.

Senior Picture Time!

Love way too many pictures of your senior?  Framed together in a timeless leather mat and elegant frame you open up a lot of great options.  Custom Framing done right will last for a very, very long time.  Way longer than any appliance or piece of furniture you purchase.  Grouped together in a series is a fun way to show many sides of her personality without having four seperate frames all over the house.......adorable!

Love this picture too.  The neutral suede mat and the the fillet are a classic look that will look great forever. 

Copper fillet and leather......some of my faves!

Awww, my Marisa.  She has been such a great helper at The Golden Pear.  I cannot believe she is graduating.  Wow.  What a doll.

     Love this hot picture of Marisa.  If you look close you can see in the bottom right hand corner of the glass on the picutre is etched with, "Class of 2011"  Subtle, but cool.

Please show your face Mr. Sunshine....I am ready for BBQs!

Set up a bar outside on your patio or deck.  Great accessories for entertaining! 

Check out these super cool metal embossed monogram stickers.  Yep, stickers.  They come in two sizes and can practically go on anything.  They look incredible on barware, vases, votives.......you name it.
