Reformed! Revamped! Refined!

Hep!Hep! Hooray! The site revamp is complete! I hope all of you can try to find some time to check it out. It was a tedious process (to say the least from a computer challenged person) but a highly creative one too. So many people have helped me along the way (you know who you are), has given me tips & ideas, inspiration & support. I am so grateful!

This is my postcard which Chelsea at Suite 7 Creative said reminds her of the "Keep Calm & Carry On" poster. As frivolous as it sounds, don't you think the quote is so very true? We will update the designer quotes we feature at the site. Join our mail list found at our homepage for updates :)
To bore you with a few details, here are some of the new elements added to the site that makes it highly interactive & personalized to give you a better e-shop experience:

* Ability to create an account to save your payments, manage & track your orders & update other information.

* Create a wishlist.

* Write a product review.

* View related products.

* Check your viewing history.

* Sort products by title, price, or popularity.

* Hover at each item picture to view more product details.

* Sort the number of products viewed per page.

* And most importantly, a one-page checkout that makes e-shopping fast, easy & secure!
As always, you will find more Decorating Tips & Ideas plus we have also added the Tip of the Week.
And here are some of our new items (clockwise from left):1. Centerpiece basket 2. Bird Taper Candelabra 3. Vintage Dress Forms 4. Chocolate & Sage Needlepoint Pillow 5. Nickel Shoeforms Candleholder 6. Antique White Birdfeeder 7. Shanghai Links Green Pillow 8. Owl Bookstand 9. Vintage Candelabra

I often scold myself for being so transparent about my new passion & dream but I can't help but express my enthusiasm! See you at the site!
