” Farmhouse Decor Online Shop “
I wear several hats.
Full-time Grammy by day.
Full-time Blogger by afternoon.
Online Shop Owner by Night.
It was the wee hours of the morning, during one of my sleepless
nights, that I came up with the idea of my husband and I opening
an online shop. The next morning I ran it past him, and within
days we were partners in Farmhouse Decor Shop.
About 3 months later – we opened our Virtual Doors and have
not looked back.
Farmhouse Decor Shop opened July 2012.
I became the Chief Operating Officer and Head Buyer, and
my hubby became Chief Logistics Officer and Master Packer.
We started with just a few things to get a feel for what would sell.
Twine Holders and Milk Bottles and Baskets and Pillows.
Then, we added in some farm animals which become quite popular.
I adored the line of Mason Jar products we added, and they are
still quite popular with our Buyers.
We even added some beachy items…such as driftwood.
…. and a few other “not-so-farmhouse” items like these cute
Baby/Todder/Kids items.
(Car-themed Taggie Blanket)
(Car-themed Tooth Fairy Pillow)
(Car-Themed Travel Pillow)
Over time our shop grew, and we soon realized we needed a better,
more user-friendly online platform. So we closed on
December 15th, 2013 with a promise to reopen on Jan 15th, 2014.
Well, little did we know that developing and creating a new shop
would take me slightly longer… but finally… the new shop was born.
During the downtime, we added new products…
CREMEWARE!!!
Be still my heart!
Dried French Lavender and Preserved Mini Boxwood Wreaths
One of my favorite little items is a metal Bird Letter Holder…
and the Rooster Twine Holder and Snips.
You know what is the hardest part of being the owner of an Online Shop
that sells fabulous Farmhouse Decor?
You want one of EVERY single thing you have in stock.
We will soon be adding a few “Handmade” lines which I am
excited about. Soaps and pillows and silhouettes, to name a few.
So thank you to all of our loyal customers who keep coming back.
Thank you to everyone who wrote to us while we closed – just to make
sure we were coming back.
And thank you to everyone who has visited the shop and left us kind
words and comments about our stock.
This past week, I announced that we are giving away a
$50 Gift Certificate to celebrate our Grand Re-Opening.
All you have to do is visit the shop, and leave a comment below
what your favorite shop item is.
Giveaway ends tomorrow so you still have plenty of time.
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend, and here’s
to warm sunshine in your future!

I had a hard time deciding. Love the London pillow and mail buckets the most I think. Until next visit that is.

I love your shop. I’ve purchased several things in the past but I’d love to get the French bistro sign or the set of 3 wicker baskets for storage.
View CommentCarolAnne says
OMG – so many wonderful items. Will be back to browse again & again. I see items for me, gift items for others. Will have to make a priority list to decide what I need first.

My favorite this morning is the cremeware cupcake holder set. I’m guessing by this afternoon that will change to some metalware…like the milk bottle holder…and then tonight it’ll change to some pillows!! Love the shop 😉

Oh my…..picking one item is too hard to do! I love everything in the shop….but will have to admit there are three things that I love the most, the Wrought Iron Rooster twine holder, Postes France pillow and the 6 Milk Bottle Wire carrier…..there, I did it…..but will be changing my mind as new items are added….I am sure of that! All the best!

I can’t decide which I like most – the baskets, the galvanized metalware, or the dishes.

Love love love your shop! I want everything and so hard to pick just one favorite item. The quart mason jar candle holder keeps catching my eye, but I’m a big fan of fleur-de-lis, so I’m drawn to the twine holder, too.. Of course, I could always use another pie plate, and the cremeware is calling my name… Congratulations on your shop!
