Repurposed Jewelry Displays

Vintage frames make great jewelry boards

Our newest frame was hung last week and it measures 4 feet wide!
Jane did a great job putting it together for us.

I found a pair of these vintage tole stands earlier this year. Sadly, the previous owner removed all of the old glass flowers, but now their graceful arms are filled with earring cards.

Always fun to use the unexpected when it comes to displaying our jewelry.
An old fireplace tool stand holds long necklaces and flower clips in the dish below.

We usually hang a few necklaces on our statues.

Scales also make great necklace or headband displays.

Do you have any interesting displays that you use? We'd love to hear about them!

What's New?

This wonderful old buffet came in this week and we had to feature it front and center. We debated on painting it, but in the end, we left it. If someone decides that they want it painted, we can do that! What a great piece for a flat screen, or use it as a buffet.

Table - Sold
This gorgeous side table has beautiful lines and we left the bottom natural, but the top had to be painted. We chose black and we love the contrast!


This is something we rarely come across- a turn of the century Bamboo etagere. It's amazing and if I had a spot in my bath, I would have loved this for towels and such. For now, it displays our hats perfectly! Wouldn't this be awesome display coral and other large seashells?

The Perfect Hostess Gift

We love supporting local artists and made in the USA product whenever we can, so when the owner of a local print company came in the shop recently, we were thrilled! We just received our first order of linen hand towels with our exclusive designs.

Pair a towel with one of our hand poured soaps from New Hampshire, and you have the perfect hostess gift!

Hot Colors For Summer!

Vibrant corals and splashes of turquoise seem to be all the rage this season.
Here are just a few of our favorite pieces for Summer.

Chain bracelet available in coral, turquoise or clear stones.

This starfish pendant is also available in turquoise and ivory.

Necklace available in shades of turquoise & gold (only 1 left!)

This pretty rose bracelet has just a light touch of turquoise stones!

Soft seafoam aqua flower dangle earrings are simply sweet and light as air!

Little Shoppers In Training

Jessica and Ella stopped by with Mom for a few gifts as they were on their way to a birthday party. They are BEST buds, can you tell? Mom says they LOVE The Attic and after they chose gifts for themselves and a friend, I asked if I could take their picture for the blog. They were thrilled as you can see, and are modeling their personal picks..aren't they adorbs?

Ella & Jessica..best buds

What Would You Do?

Leave it or paint it? The top has some staining and a small loss of veneer. We're trying to decide, but we'd love to hear your thoughts! We also posted this on our facebook and the voting is close!

Helloooo Kitty
