Rare photo op

Otis, official shop dog at 55 West is usually very shy about having his photo taken but seemed to pose for me today. He's been coming to work with me for nearly 10 years now and enjoys keeping children and husbands entertained by "allowing" them to rub his belly-- how gracious of him, eh? He can usually be found lounging about the store in places where he can sniff customers without having to move. We think he's a husky and malamute mix, but we get all kinds of guesses. Otis has many nicknames... O-Diddy turned into Diddy, and now as I'm looking his photo, I'm thinking that "Puffy" would probably suit him too!

Fun new quote portraits!!!

New to 55...

Not to be missed....

These rugs are so much fun to create! I created about 12 new ones before I had to force myself to stop. They wash and wear very well and they're a fun burst of color in any room!-stefanie

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

The holidays are such a fun time of year at 55, but I must admit that every year I dread putting up the 12 foot tree. This year I opted for decorating the huge spray of bamboo in the middle of the store. It's gotten mixed reviews so far, but I think it's definitely a conversation piece!

Colors of fall

I call this 55 original painted vanity... tequila sunrise!

Red agate with tiger eye

Sarah's latest poppy painting...

My new jewelry counter!

I was so excited when the phone rang the other day, and it was Bunny (yes, Bunny) calling to invite me to a house she was cleaning out-- if I could get there within15 minutes, I could have all the "junk" I wanted! This counter was smothered by layers old linoleum, but it was easily restored. I created the shelf on top with a walnut foot board and bed rails. What makes this even more special is that it was used in a print shop here in Millersburg, and on the drawer is a list of prices for local businesses including Maxwell letterhead which sold for $.93/100 sheets!

A cozy place to rest your head....

Log walls in the open loft at Crooked Creek Cabin create a warm atmosphere.

Did I tell you this cabin has 5 bedrooms?!!!

More Crooked Creek Cabin Shots

I absolutely love getting my hands in the dirt! The beds around the cabin were the perfect excuse for me to do just that!

The fire pit with picnic tables in the back yard is the perfect location for making gooey s'mores!
