My baby Sista stopped in with a friend to shop for a little seasonal decor. 🧡🤎💛
DD isn’t your average home store!
I love mixing things up at the shop just like I do at home.. mostly second hand finds with a bit of new, vintage and antique mixed together with a touch of quirkiness. You don’t want your home to look like everyone else’s right? Come pay us a visit!

(P.S. My sister’s seven years younger than me and was my living doll when she was born. I loved her so much I named my first daughter Sharon after her! 😁💗)

I’ve been missing here! 💨
The day after our Grand Reopening we started a week’s vacation with two of our NH grandchildren.
Thankfully we rented an Airbnb close to home so the shop could stay open!
We were on Bolton Lake and only about 8 miles from our house!
Here’s a fun fact.. in the first clip you see a big house on the hill with a red chimney. That was OUR house for 17 years. It was nostalgic to see it from across the lake.
I did hours and hours of crafting and collaging with my girl. She helped get jewelry ready and worked the shop with me one day.
Our little guy…how cute is he?!
OBSESSED with Micheal Jackson and he danced the week away! 🕺
I took them thrifting so he could add some new belts and chains to his outfit.⛓️ I took a photo to make a collage of him doing the MJ lean! 😁
So much to do still to get settled into our new space but family time came first!
Now it’s back to work and time to restock the shop after a fantastic first week!
Thank you all so much for supporting our family business!

Come on in!! Ready or not! 😅
THREE WEEKS and 2 days ago we suddenly moved our previous shop into this new space!
“We” (not me😬) had to paint walls, rent a floor cleaner and then I had to semi frantically search FBM for more display pieces and then drive all over kingdom come.
In the middle of the three weeks we were away for a week’s vacation.
Are you kidding me?!
Our Grand Reopening is tomorrow 8/22!
Is everything perfectly ready? Hell no!
But come in (bring friends) and see the new digs. 💚
We’re BEAT but honestly proud of what we accomplished in three weeks.

Give me a laid back vaca doing whatever the hell I want at any moment 🤣🙌🏻😊.
For me that includes:
Views and beauty, cooking, conversation, music, cocktails, creating, art, vegging out and resting.
We’re fortunate to spend an annual vaca dog sitting on a little island off Maine for the besties.
How did WE get this job? 😁🤩
But we’re home now and the shop is open Saturday.
We’ve got new ideas and new NEWS coming your way! 👀

Growing up my Dad loved to play marching band music. Year round even. 🥁
And he loved flying our flag too. 🇺🇸
But flying the flag has gotten so complicated hasn’t it?
What the hell..🥺🤯

Miss you Dad ❤️🤍💙 We still have hope.

Have you met our daughter Britt, aka Daughter Downtown? 😁👯‍♀️💚
She’s an integral part of our little shop and my trusty sidekick on the thrift trail.
We celebrated the upcoming arrival of her first baby due this summer.
I’m so eager to meet this little one. 💚🌱

I did some porch sitting and painted a little piece to sell in the shop, all while sipping blueberry vodka 🫐 and limeade.💚
We stopped @woodlandgardensct and brought home PLANTS of course. 🌱
Dinner was my choice.. grilled steak and shrimp on cheesy grits and Mexican street corn salad. Yummm.
Pampering aside, motherhood is the greatest privilege of my life. 💚
