Final Post before the open house Friday, Nov 10 from 6-9pm and Saturday Nov 11 from 9:30-2pm.  1215 Brinton Circle, West Chester - hope you can join us and enjoy getting some Christmas shopping done.


Just wanted to show the shutter boxes made from vintage shutters, they each are built by Laura's husband, Neil and they come with a insert that can be used as a platform to elevate your decorations or removed if you are using it with planters or vases.  There are 2 different sizes (2 of each size) and they each come with the insert & fully decorated in the winter theme.  The other pictures are give to show you have versatile they can be.



Here's one of the larger shutter boxes, 36" long, 8.5" tall, 7" deep - $65.00 includes all the decorations shown in the picture.

Here's one of the smaller shutter boxes, 28" long, 7" tall, 6.25" deep - $60.00 fully decorated with all the same decorations as the larger boxes.

Below shows the box insert that is being used in each these boxes currently to elevate the decorations.

Insert removed from box (does have space underneath to store some decorations while being used for a different holiday).


Here's my shutter box currently decorated for Autumn.  There will be hand made pumpkins available for purchase if you want to pick up some to decorate your box for Thanksgiving and then change it out with the winter decorations that are included.


Here how I used my box with no insert & live plants in clay pots.


 Sorry for the extras in the picture, but here's that box decorated using a variety of vases and greenery for our daughter's bridal shower.

I love the shutter box for it's versatility and ease of use.  Be sure to email lauraem@verizon.net it you want to get one - specify larger or small box.

I love the scrabble tile plant markers!! They are made using vintage scrabble tile pieces and a sturdy plastic plant marker - there are 12 different plant markers, all shown above. $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00.  


Shown here with the plant markers are tobacco wood planter boxes with 3 clay pots each that are chalk painted around the rim. You can write the name of you plant or herb on the chalk paint or pick up a plant marker to identify the plant in the planter.  Each box with pots is $22.00, there are only 3 sets available.

Looks good with a plant marker in it too!
