favorite things 2015

We’re gearing up for one of my favorite weekends in Cape May – the annual West Cape May Christmas Parade!  This Saturday evening, the legendary parade will march right past The West End Garage.  We are still working on final touches on our store window but so far I am feeling the kitschy, colorful theme.  Stay tuned…

Inside we’re stocked with our favorite vintage ornaments, painted furniture and one-of-a-kind finds.  We also have a handful of new organic gift items.  Some that you’re going to want to keep for yourself or your mantel… the lemon cypress trees have already landed on mine!

Holiday 2015

Friday night marks the Congress Hall tree lighting.  We’re happy to be participating in Congress Hall’s Winter Wonderland for a second year in the shopping village.  Over there, we’re stocked with items from our pet boutique, Houndstooth, but you’ll find a few wreaths, ornaments and the like from Circa Dee.

Cape May is truly magical at the holidays.  In fact, it was just ranked #1 for Christmas towns in NJ!  Check out the list here.  We’re looking forward to seeing you this December!

Happy new year, friends!  Happy Monday.

All of the holiday decorations are put away.  The paperwhites are almost spent.  Christmas is behind us and 360 days of 2015 are spread out in front of us full of so much potential.  A blank canvas waiting to be painted.

I love this feeling of a new year, new intentions, goals and projects. Of course, many projects.  I’ve been editing our to-do lists which encompass both business goals and home improvements.  Over the holidays, a few pieces of furniture were completed too which I’ll post in the coming days as we get them on the sales floor.  Stay tuned!

Note that our first milk paint demonstration of the year will be held on Sunday, January 25th at 1 pm at Serendipity Shops of Doylestown.  You won’t want to miss it as we’ll be rolling out the new European Color Line which boasts six beautiful new colors!  Be sure to follow along on facebook & instagram for sneak peeks!

What do you have planned for 2015?
