PHEW!

ok so it has been awhile and I owe all of you some news! 

Well the shop has officially opened,

 and this is literally my first chance to blog in forever

 and I miss you all so much! 

I will keep it short and sweet 

because I really need to get to sleep. 

So here is a peek at the door not quite finished 

last thursday night...

Here is a view from behind the counter

upstairs on Sunday.

We opened over the weekend

3 levels full and the turnout was wonderful

in spite of the rain...

lots more to come soon!

p.s. Krisin I still owe you a post from our fall swap I haven't forgotten you :)

Deck the Halls Friday I am glad to be back!

Here is a peek at our entry last Christmas,

the photos are not he best but you'll get the idea.

I may have even showed this before but 

I can't remember! HAHA

I LOVE Annalee Elves

And over the years I have collected the penguins and 

polar bears, it's such a fun display for the kids.

This is my favorite piece I like to decorated

 it with vintage for each holiday.

The apothecary jars are filled with snow and 

a bottle brush tree then a vintage salt and pepper snow couple

those were my favorite things last year.

I put the Manger in the entry China cabinet each year

It keeps it from getting knocked over...

And up top is the very first bottle brush anything 

I did. The kids and I did the houses in '07

and the piece on the right is the first J. Nichelle prototype.

Don't forget to visit our 

Deck the Halls Friday hostess

 the sweet Tammy 

at Tinsel and Company

for more Holiday fun and inspiration!

Where J. Nichelle creates on a Pink Saturday

Well here we are on a

Pink Saturday with Miss Beverly

showing you 

Where Blogger's Create II

with Karen Valentine!

Well I'm sure my blog post sharing our creative spaces 

will be unlike anyone else's!
I wanted to makeover my space,
but it just didn't happen

I wanted to clean off my table and get everything
 neatly in order for you but
No luck!

 dusted reorganized neat and clean, NOT here,

Finished and hung till they are for SALE,
 NOT quite

neatly hung spools organized by color,
IF only

One of my armoires refinished in 
aqua and white crackle to house my treasures
I don't think so

The mantle redone to reflect hubby and I's style
HE wishes...

All of our bathroom built-ins emptied that 
house CHACHKE HEAVEN 
As my kids have come to call it "where old 
unwanted chachkes go to get a new life"
they are working on a commercial...

finish the wreath  I started last November 
when I realized I had pneumonia, NAH

Get the two pieces of broken glass repaired 
so I don't have to dust the Christmas all year
That is just plain silly!

How about that new custom cabinetry made so 
everything is displayed so I can be inspired
HAHAHA

Well this is what I have to share 
at least it's an honest post!
I really did consider going and burying 
my head in the sand,
 calling in sick or even stealing photos of 
someone else's space and saying it was mine.
Well I've given you the truth and the
 worst at night iPhone photos possible!
If it were daylight you could see I have an 
ocean view out that window and that this is in my bedroom!
I am however grateful for the space I can call MINE!
Hope you have enjoyed laughing along with me, 
How else could I post my dirty laundry hee hee :)
Have a wonderful weekend!

His favorite Snowmen on the cubes,

And his peppermint gingerbread land on his highboy.

Such awful pictures I know but I thought I'd share anyway :)

Holiday Inspiration Friday

What in May? you ask , well of course!

 I have had the ipod crankin' my favorite Holiday tunes or 2 weeks now, I couldn't possibly create for Christmas and not be in the holiday spirit. My family thanks God daily for earbuds although I have been told I sing along very loud and off key, OOPS!

I decided to join the darling
Tammy of  Tinsel and Company (the blog)

on her very first

Holiday Inspiration Friday!

Here is my very first piece of J. Nichelle Holiday 2010.
It is a lovely custom piece for sweet Joy!

I did a similar piece last Christmas, she liked it so much she sent me the planter
and the elves and I did a little magic in the workshop...

A sweet friend...

Well that Fabulous Miss Tobi Britton over at the Pink Pixie Forest is really something, we agreed to do a pixie bottle brush swap and of course I haven't sent mine yet but I got hers today and oh my I squealed with sheer delight when I opened my Pixie pulling her fairy trees!

How Gorgeous is that!

Then I couldn't stand it and tore open the rest of the package and put up quickly the other Gorgeous trees I won on eBay from her Pink Fairy Cottage store!

Can you see hoe perfect the pink one goes with my Easter? LOVE IT

Ant the aqua and soft green one here just delighted!

And the Fairy Spring tree in all it's loveliness was meant to go in the yard at Mr and Mrs. Hare's!
