Millersburg Crowns a Queen!

1st Official Honorary Queen for the Night, Mary Miller, of The Jewelry Store, was truly surprised when she was lured to the Hotel Millersburg before Girl's Night Out!
A large crowd waited in anticipation of the surprise ceremony.

Gypsy Sue read the proclamation which included many of the reasons that she was chosen. There were so many that it made our choice very easy!

Just like a queen... she was bossy within minutes. (hee hee)

Attack of the children!

Historic Downtown Millersburg sponsored Kids Night, and 55 offered free face painting. I had no idea that we would be bombarded with children for hours on end! Youngsters left 55 with their cheeks adorned with santas,snowflakes, and reindeer, and the gal above asked Sarah for a full kitten face! stefanie

RETRO Christmas signs

55 West is located in what's locally known as the Maxwell Building. The long and short of it is that the Maxwell family built the structure in 1866 and operated their men's clothing store in the building until 2002. It was one of the oldest family-owned clothing stores in the USA!

*yes, boys love it when they get socks and underwear for Christmas!

I am simply in love with the building and its history, and I was lucky enough to see and touch many of it's stored treasures! When I purchased the building, the entire second floor was packed from the floor to the ceiling -literally- with old inventory and advertisements from the last 130 plus years.

This collection of retro holiday promotional posters makes me giggle--and hopefully you too!
My, how times have changed...


HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

WHITE ELEPHANT CHERUB LAMP

55 West V.I.P., Robyn, called me this week looking for an unforgetable present for her husband's office white elephant gift exchange. Of course we had the perfect object! I always try to have at least one fun gag gift available amongst our diverse inventory!
Robyn requested some special 55 wrapping so that she can theatrically unveil the piece! I can't wait to hear how it's received! stefanie

Pure Delight

Big John "the weasel boy" Aubry once again gave a delightful reading of "Twas the Night Before Christmas" at our annual Holiday Soiree. Big J loves the holidays and can be heard most days singing carols at the top of his lungs throughout downtown Millersburg!

Great Gift Ideas...

This large painting was inspired by a custom order-- very subtle compared to the things I usually do, eh?
Our crocheted rag rugs are a great gift for any age. The flannels are so cozy on your tootsies!

This frame originally held a mirror, but rather than replace it, I decided the aged back makes a perfect backdrop for this dogwood branch.

We still have plenty of funky furniture choices, too!!!
