Impulse Items

Every time I go to one of my regular errands, I always take a glance across the street to a beautiful little boutique called "Penny for Your Thoughts". They have a nice variety of original and vintage items, all of a truly artistic nature, and a very cozy ambiance. And they have reaaaaally good coffee (their Mexican Mochas ROCK).

Quite awhile ago I had approached the owner with the idea of selling my furniture on consignment there. Although open to the idea, and liking the photos of the furniture, she expressed concern with carrying too many large items, and that it would simply just depend on the piece. So I hadn't approached the topic since, as I was trying to create more pieces for her to view; and as mentioned before, that simply doesn't happen as frequently as I'd like. But since I've meandered into trinket boxes, I thought I'd try again, since little trinket boxes don't take up much boutique "real estate". So on impulse, I darted into her store and showed some photos I had taken of some boxes I had recently painted. She expressed interest, asked me to bring some in the following week--and so I did. Today. She loved them! Yay! She is starting them on consignment first, and If they get a good response, she'll consider wholesale orders. Here are the ones I dropped off to her. Enjoy--do you have a favorite?
