We had a little shop excitement over the weekend with our annual holiday open house to launch the season. I snapped a few quick shots to give you a peek.
We also tried to do a little extra tweaking to show off our best side for the camera, as the editor, photo stylist, and best selling author, Fifi O'Neill of Prairie Style fame came to honor us with a visit!
Here she is tweaking the shelves a little to set up a corner for a shot. We asked for permission to take her picture, of course, but I was so focused on the process and on hanging onto her every word that I failed to get more than this one photo of her! Such a pleasure to meet her and get a dose of her wonderful humor.
A lot going on for us for one whirlwind weekend, but it was so much fun greeting so many of our wonderful supporters together on one day! These are just a few quick pics I took of Cabin & Cottage at Je L'Adore before we opened the door to customers.
Lots of vintage white china of course! That fab old French curtain underneath is a "display only" prop getting a lot of attention over the day.
Fifi took her own shot of this display. I hope you get to see it someday!
Lots of metal went out the door including the zinc buckets and this decorative piece.
A few warmer tones are included with all the white to welcome autumn.
I love these little twiggy chairs in any season!
Ironstone pitchers and platters line up against some fab rusty old tin tiles I found around. Perfect for fall!
Just a quick reminder that we have no sales online! So sorry! But I am always so happy to hear that you want to stop by Cabin & Cottage at Je L'Adore when you visit Albuquerque!
Hope it's turning into a fun weekend for you too! I'm looking forward to getting a few minutes to catch up with you all!

Wanted to visit your shop when I was in ABQ a few weeks ago, but it was a quick trip. Hope to be back soon and will stop in to purchase something. It's all so lovely, I know I won't be able to leave without something jumping in my car.
ReplyDeleteSadly I think Albuquerque is slightly off my beat! But fun to look at the shop nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteJacqueline,
ReplyDeleteC`est Magnifique!
I am totally mesmerized with your booth, dear friend!
I a d o r e how you display the lovely white dishes within the metal baskets!
Thank you for sharing your amazing merchandise styling with us!
Fondly,

I am so excited for you. The shop and your space is B E A U T I F U L. I will look forward to seeing it in publication. Be sure to let us know.
ReplyDeleteI spied a couple of alabaster lamps -- love them, but I already have three, and not any more room. So I'll just admire from afar. Your booth looks lovely, and I bet FiFi was smitten, also. Sally
ReplyDeleteI love those white staffordshire dogs on he shelf.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful as usual
oh congrats, J!! what an honor, everything looks beautiful! Be sure and let us know when and what the publication will be.
ReplyDeleteOh, love! It looks amazing. How fun.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting to have Fifi visit and photograph your space. I soooooo wish I were in ABQ to shop your space. Need to see when my friend is going to Santa Fe next. '-)
ReplyDeleteThe shop is so lovely, Jacqueline! And how fun to have Fifi there! Looking forward to seeing where the photos end up!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jacqueline, and so deserving of a feature.
ReplyDeleteYour shop would be a delight to shop, I am sure I could find a treasure or few.
A beautiful week ahead of you.

It is taking every bit of my will power to resist hopping in the car and heading west. I am adding a visit to Je L'Adore to my bucket list even though I generally always fly when I go west. Perhaps I'll have to rent a car in PHX and make a quick trip to ALB.
ReplyDeleteThe shop is so beautiful ♥
ReplyDeleteAlways so many pretties in your shop. I love the dishes, frames and some lamp bases I spotted. Wish I was able to make a purchase or purchases. The hubby may be happy I can't online, I 'd spend a fortune.
ReplyDeleteCindy
How exciting! Oh, tin tiles would have caught my eye. Let us know when you show up in Fifi's magazine.
ReplyDeleteYour shop is wonderful! So exciting to meet Fifi! Can't wait to see you featured - congratulations! xx Karen
ReplyDeleteHow I would have loved to have been at your holiday open house! I would have been in seventh heaven and probably your best customer.
ReplyDeleteAll that and Fifi too! Oh, yes! You must keep us posted of any publication dates!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh, I wish I had known about you and the shop before I visited Albuquerque last Spring! My husband's mother and sister live there so maybe I'll have another chance to visit. It's a long way from Michigan but I really love the area. And Santa Fe, as well.
Thanks for the lovely view of your shop. I enjoyed seeing it.
FIFI O. came there and did photo shoots!? Oh, my goodness, what an honor! I think she is about the neatest gal around.
ReplyDeleteJac - your store area is absolutely stunning. I sooooo wish you sold online.
Best of luck inthe busy gift-being season coming soon.
Hugs! ♥
Oh how I would love to be able to visit your lovely shop.
ReplyDeletePretty.
