Celebrate the Season at 225 Water Street! We invite you to join us on Friday, October 24th, as we begin to celebrate our first year in Jordan! Stop down to our historic little town and enjoy the sights, scents and tastes of the upcoming holiday season. Refreshments will be served, in-store contests and the first 25 guests will receive a FREE recycled shopping bag.

Before you visit garage sales, thrift stores, flea markets, antique malls, estate sales and auctions for pieces to transform, clear out your own spaces to see what you can discover.

The key to creating treasure from trash is to look at things in a different light and be open to possibilities.

Remember, most wobbly furniture can be strengthened with glue, dings can be covered up and stains can be cut out.

You don't need a huge budget for a creative dramatic change. Your furniture may not be glamorous, but it's functional -- you may not need to buy a new table or desk.

De-cluttering your home isn't really as hard as you might think. Before you take the plunge to get started, you first need to create an action plan. Take the time to get a realistic view of your clutter. Try to create a written plan and zoom in on the most cluttered space and start there.

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. ~Native American Proverb

Every year, we make a vow to re-invent ourselves through silent resolutions. It's a noble gesture and some of us work very hard to turn those promises into a habit.

It's been said that you only have to do something for 21 days to make it stick.

It started out as the perfect craft project for my 3-year-old daughter and me.
