Nutcrackers to go!

NUTCRACKERS any one?  We received a lot of them yesterday at The Courtyard many in unusual shapes and sizes.  These arrived just in time for the upcoming holidays and would make perfect gifts for the collector in your family or circle of friends.  

If you would prefer some other items to help decorate your home why not new holiday dishes?  We have both formal and informal -- even a set that shows how to build a snowman!  Really cute.

 

And Santa's?  Well of course, we have those too!

We also have dining room tables, chairs, Oriental rugs, sofas, lamps, chandeliers and wall art -- just about anything you need for your home or gift list this year.

New this week at The Courtyard

Sneak peek #66 -- this week we received several sets of china, some formal, some not.  We have Pickard, new Fiesta, Franciscan and Ohio made Limoges.  We have a large inventory of dining room style chairs many ready to be used others need re-upholstering.  All are priced fairly with some ready for bids.  There are 2 vintage wooden children's school chairs and a pair of mid-century modern youth chairs.  Lamps?  Oh yeah, we have those too.  Come in and see what is available.

We are trying to appeal to the younger customers (anyone under Medicare age is younger than us!) so that we can find new consigners who will bring in items that appeal to our newer patrons.  As our shop has aged, so have the consigners -- they tend to bring in items that they like but don't necessarily "speak" to our younger shoppers.  If you are moving or re-designing your home, why not think about bringing your items to us for consignment?  You get a write-off for taxes while helping Wellness House and all those who benefit from their programs.  Everyone wins because you are supporting an important cause!

Consignments at The Courtyard

Sneak peek #51 -- today was consignment day at The Courtyard.  We have a large variety of dishes now available as well as several new dining room tables with chairs, a china cabinet/hutch and many other small items.  Come shop with us!

Sneak peek #13 -- just arrived today -- some interesting and unique items that definitely need to be seen to be appreciated fully.  We received several beautiful pieces of Roseville pottery from the mid-1940's, end tables, chairs, coffee table, mirrors, china, jewelry and lamps.  Hope to see you soon at the shop.

Thanksgiving Platters

Okay, so you just realized that you lost a week or so from your calendar and Thanksgiving is actually in less than 9 days!  Yikes, where does the time go?  You have to plan the dinner, buy the turkey, make the dressing and cranberry sauce (because after all you can do those ahead of time), decide who will sit next to Grandpa, bake the pies that no one has room for after eating everything on the table and oh, yes, clean the house!  Of course there is always the last minute trip to the airport to pick up your college student or family member who forgot to call and tell you they were coming.  You wanted to get your nails done but there doesn't seem to be enough time for that so you just hope that people are so busy eating they won't notice.

So help us help you.  We have several nice platters that would hold a large turkey, china with perfect fall colors to match the autumn decor inside and out and even chandeliers that will light up your table.  Other than someone to do the dishes and clean-up, what more could you ask?  All of our volunteers at The Courtyard wish a warm and happy Thanksgiving to you, your family and friends.  And by the way, we don't do dishes -- sorry!
