Back from Market --Back to REALITY !

  So Debbie and I spent four days in Atlanta picking out treasures to compliment our antique and vintage collections. My hat is off to one tough partner I have. Debbie was fighting an upper resperatory bug but thanks to drugs and her strong will we marched on--ALL DAY all four days ! If you have never been to a retail buyers market-it is simply mind boggling-senses overwhelming and lots of people doing the same as you. Even through it all we came back with lots ordered and  hearts filled with the excitement of a New Year. While away both stores did great business so busy we must get. Painted furniture still seems to be the trend and it is going out as fast as we can get it painted.

      Here is a little glimpse into the store now with it changing every day as things come in and others go out-----------oh isn't it so fun !!!

                                                         Loving my life..........

    Just a little glimpse of the hen house-hoping to see you soon.

      Add a comment and we will send you a coupon for CASH to use in the store !

Happy New Year !!!

      The stores are getting a New Year facelift and I wanted to give just a little tease on one of the great new pieces coming in this week.

   Is this Wing Back a statement or what ? ! 

Come see for yourself--it will not last long.

From our shop to your homes...We Wish You A Very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years !

     The anticipation is almost over, only three sleeps left till the Jolly Ole Guy shall come bringing his bag of smiles, giggles and cheer ! For the true meaning of Christmas Debbie and I are grateful and blessed. May you and your family embrace the spirit of Christmas and know OUR gift is YOU ! Thank you for supporting us at Three French Hens. We are excited for the New Year coming and how we can continue to inspire you with our creativity and treasures.

    Not through shopping????? Three French Hens will be open through Thursday 11/23/2010.

THANKS -THANKS-THANKS

       In five words ...We Have The Best Customers !!! Thanks for coming out to support us Friday and Saturday for the Soles4Souls charity event. Over 200 pair of shoes were collected and we are so very thankful. Can you imagine the look on someones face as they receive those shoes ? To help another human being is simply the best and what this time of year is all about to me. The best part about giving a gift for me is to see that persons reaction-I just LOVE that ! I wish I could see all 200.

   Thanks to Tarryn Feldman for jumping out there and being proactive for a great cause and organizing this event. She is young-she is a mover and shaker-she is going to make a great impact on this world in a wonderful way in her long life ! If you ever need an organizer or a sharp young lady to work with you let me know-she is FAB !

   Now let me share a little of our weekend in pictures.

Wendy Semple (massage therapist) and Cindy Smith (Executive Consultant for Rodan and Fields Dermatologists)

We will be accepting shoes through the end of the month at the stores if you would like to donate to Soles4Souls.

Tis the Season-Three French Hens Style

We kicked off the holiday season with our Open House on November 6th and then placed the cherry atop the proverbial Christmas cupcake with CHRISTMAS in the VILLAGE the two days following Thanksgiving ! Once again we were so blessed to have Santa Claus and his Elf to join us on Friday to greet the small and not so small alike. Everyone had the chance to tell the man in red all of there holiday wishes-even a few confessions of not being so nice. It was a fun filled two days of good food and even better fellowship with the greatest customers two gals could ever dream of. Here is a small peak at our spirit of Christmas-enjoy !

Guess who?

You guessed right...Santa and his helper elf  !  OR...My great business partner Debbie's husband as Santa and my husband as his Elf. Thanks so much to our guys for being such good sports and making our event so very special for all. It really is amazing how jolly we all become around guys in red and green suits-just look at Debbie and myself !

Our fabulous dealer Mary of OuiR22 explaining to Santa how she has been naughty and plans to remain that way--Santa has something special just for big girls like her-gonna have to get that Elf to tell me about that !

The front desk @Three French Hens being overseen by Robin Wilkes-a great dealer and even better friend,always helping out when needed and so passionate about our business-we are lucky! Have to be sure that Santa knows she has been a very good girl !!!

  Amy had her list too....

Tell us what you think about our Fish Net Tree???

May your holiday season be bright and filled with cherished memories-family and love !

( and some fun junkin-come see us soon )

   Merry Christmas

I am back !!!

   Sometimes we have huge success junkin and others we just have to settle on smaller but still oh so cute discoveries. That is what I would call todays haul. For Debbie and I to go out "shopping" and return with only one truck full lets just say that is a light shopping day for us. BUT--we still had a blast as we always do-lusting over rusty stuff that we have to ask "what is it" and visiting with good friends that also have the same disease that we do. :>)

    Here is a little peak at our day.........

Ok--so please overlook my fashion fo-pa...

  that is me (Stacey) on the left cold and wet ! A white short jacket was all that I had in the truck and you know a girl has to do what a girl has to do. In the middle is one of our dear friends, Tawnya Norton. Tawnya has a booth in Three French Hens and also has an adorable little shop in Brentwood Tennessee called Cest Moi'. Go and visit her blog at shopcestmoi@blogspot.com. She has a wonderful eye at buying new gift and blending it splendidly with vintage treasures. That is my fabulous partner Debbie on the far right. I guess it could be a full blown blizzard or hurricane and we would all still be out there weathering the elements if we thought there was a cute treasure/ piece of junk to be bought ! We always have a great time together and today was no different !

  I know -I know-you are probably thinking...get to the finds!

Here comes one of our favorite dealers-now wouldn't you just go nuts if you saw a truck loaded like that coming your way-oh my goodness I am getting excited all over again just looking at the pictures !

And here is yet another ! Andy is not only a dealer we love to buy from but also a great man-just a fine guy we are lucky to call a friend !

What a great set of lockers....tell Debbie to let me know WHY DIDN"T WE BUY THESE?!?!

Had to have this sweet little table-great size !

Shabby windows, legs and metal carts are always a must-they fly out of the stores.

Now Debbie...how will I explain you having --well I think I will refrain from saying that-she's a funny girl !

What has she spotted now? Better not be anymore....well you know !

TOUCHDOWN -SCORE-LOVE

You choose your adjective-I adore this old bread metal stand. This will be fabulous holding linens in the store but a person could use this piece for so many different things, a laundry room, studio holding ones supplies, a childs room for toys etc etc- Oh am I a happy girl !!!

That is just a sneak peak-saved several of the best that are now in the stores. You will just have to come and see for yourself.

Speaking of coming out -I suggest FRIDAY -NOVEMBER 26th.

That begins CHRISTMAS in the VILLAGE in the historic district of Nolensville Tennessee. All of the merchants will be serving refreshments-having store specials and you will most likely spot Ole Saint Nick visiting around the village. Bring the family-bring your camera-bring an appetite and cash /card would be handy too as there will be treasures you will not be able to live without.

At Three French Hens and The Roost we will have a free gift to give to the first 20 customers in each store on Friday. You will also find additional sales on both Friday and Saturday. Mention you read this blog and receive and additional 10% off any one item. Santa Claus and his handy helper The Elf will be visiting The Roost On Friday from 11-4. Bring your own camera and avoid those long mall lines-having your precious children visit Santa. We will have a sweet back drop set up for pictures. Our customers LOVED it last year. It is a wonderful season in our quaint little town-may we invite you and your family and friends to come and enjoy CHRISTMAS in the VILLAGE

CHRISTMAS TIMES A COMIN ! See you in Nolensville-HAPPY HOLIDAYS !
