Teacher Appreciation Week 2013

Teapots & What-Nots is gearing up for Teacher Appreciation Week 2013.  Beginning on May 6 until May 10, it'll be here before we know it!  Are you ready to show your child's teacher how much she (or he!) means to you and your family?! 

How about showing them with a cute wooden plaque?

Or maybe a new wreath to adorn their classroom door?

Or perhaps some versatile and useful chalkboard clothespins to help them stay organized?

Whatever it is, I'm sure you can find it (and MUCH more!) up at 540 Mercantile!  Swing by today, before it's all gone!

I "Mustache" You to "Point" Me in The Right Direction...

Does the title fit this picture??  :)

Okay, so I know our title today, "I "Mustache" You to "Point" Me in The Right Direction..." is a bit corny, but how else would we combine two super trendy styles right now into one heading?!  ;)  It's really more difficult than you'd think!


Anyways, we all know that mustaches have been all the rage lately, adorning everything from clothes, decor, and even baby bedding!  Aaannnddd, we have to admit, we're in love with it, too, just like you!  So, of course, we had to jump on in and create some fun mustache-io pieces:



A fun dark blue shelf with mustache accent.



Distressed blue wooden platter with mustache accent!

Also lately, we've been seeing that arrows are giving mustaches a run for their money...scootching on up to take their top spot!  Home Stories A to Z recently even wrote about it on their blog (read it here)!  Yes, the chevrons seem to start it, but now we're in full blow "arrow" mode...

Adorable blue wooden small rocker with arrows down the back.

Fun desk organzer...distressed blue with arrow design!

So, come see both our mustaches and arrows today at the Mercantile! 

We're Feeling a Little Blue...

Yes, we're feeling blue, but no need for tears!  It's just the color, not emotions, silly!  Take a look at our latest booth inventory, inspirationed by none other than that navy, saphire, indigo, blue hue...

Large wooden platter or statement piece along with some wonderful teapots and blue vases.

One of my favorite pieces this month, a tan and blue accented book "holder" (single piece book ends!) along with a beautiful vintage blue and gold leaf teapot!

An adorable blue small rocker with oh-so trendy arrows along side a fantastic tan wooden coffee table with blue accent design on top!

And more blue small goods for your home!

Come take a look and "feel blue" with us at 540 Mercantile!  Happy Saturday!!!  :)

"HOPpy" Easter, Peeps!

Mannon and I are wishing everyone a wonderful Easter Sunday, filled with many precious family moments.  Enjoy this wonderful day!  :)

Magical Mirrors

Whether they're placed on a wall or sitting on a vanity, mirrors bring a room together.

We have to admit, we totally stole that line from HGTV (check out their posts and great ideas here), however, we totally believe it!  Mirrors can be such a focal point, they can add light to a dark room, and they can add such style to any decor.  I personally have one leaning above my living room mantle, and I always seem to get tons of compliments whenever I have visitors! 

Check out a few of our magical mirrors now for sale up in McKinney:

And these fun candlestick holders even have some mirrors behind them, to reflect even more light when candles are lit!

Last, but certainly not least, an adorably shabby chic mirror/shelf combo, with an oh-so-trendy right now owl!
