St. Patrick's Day arrivals....

St. Patrick's Day never goes overlooked in my home... My great grandparents left Ireland to come to America, and my grandma, MaDean as we called her (her name was really Eldean), shared stories about her Irish family and made us proud of our ancestry. We never miss having corned beef and cabbage when March 17 rolls around...

Whether or not you're Irish, homebodies has lots of items to help you celebrate this festive holiday. We've posted just a few items here... but we have lots more to see at our store.

Happy Valentine's Day

In honor of Valentine's Day, I wanted to share one of my favorite VD items with you... it's a hand-stitched pillow made by our good friend (and my kids' second mom) Melissa W.

Hope all of you have a great Valentine's Day.

handmade pillows

These adorable handmade pillows are from the creative mastermind of Melanie H. -- who sells her stitching and quilting patterns not only locally (at Sew Sweet- check out their link on the right side of our blog) but also internationally (she's a hit in Sweden). homebodies is very lucky to get a handful of her pillows, featuring mod fabrics and upcycled wool sweaters, they are creative and fun...love the little house!

Creative Containers

I came across these photos and just had to share. They showcase a great way to give vintage finds a new purpose. Even though these photos showcase winter florals, the idea can easily be transitioned into any season....

Dressing up vintage finds such as an old milk can or an old ammo crate is repurposing at its best!

New Arrivals

homebodies just received a new shipment of some very beautiful, unique items--from decorative bird cages to breathtaking artwork to creative photo displays. The Botanique books are actually decorative boxes--they look good and can stow away anything you want to hide. Our shabby chic wall clock really keeps time and the mirrored bird tray will catch lots of attention. Come see our new arrivals for yourself!
