Earth Day contest|Come play with us & win

In honor of Earth Day we are having having a contest on our

Faded Elegance Facebook Fan Page.

The Contest will run April 22nd-30th.

"Junkers" are the original recyclers; we are always finding new ways to re purpose discarded items into fabulous decor. Share your great idea for a found re purposed object by posting a picture and comment on our Faded Elegance Facebook Wall. Your idea can be something as simple as a new use for a favorite flea market find or as elaborate as a fabulous piece of art you created from vintage found objects. Visit the Faded Elegance Fan Page to check out what other Fans have submitted and vote for the most creative post by clicking the "Like" button underneath the wall post. The creative fan with the most "likes" will win a yummy hand poured all natural soy Linnea's Lights candle, an organic natural silk sleep mask and bath fizzy by Jane. Whats old is new again! Darcie of Bloomy Vintage Design, a fabulously talented dealer at Faded Elegance made this amazing pendent light from an antique Victrola horn. We have a similar light by Darcie in our display window for sale.


These yummy luxuries could be yours!

April 22nd Earth Day in Historic downtown Snohomish. A celebration of Earth Day on 1st street sponsored by Grilla Bites Cafe and Natural Clothing Co. For more details go to http://www.naturalclothingsblog.com/

Newgate Clocks|British design at its best

Our new exclusive line of clocks have arrived. These fantastic clocks are designed in Great Britten by a husband and wife team. Each clock comes with a year warranty. Newgate has a vast collection of Antique clocks that they do not sell, but hire out to the movie industry. I had so much full doing this display, layering the player piano sheet music on the wall. The French train bag pendent light is a perfect fit. I want to take it all home!
I love waking up to the chime of the "Ritz" alarm clock then the annoying beeping of a clock radio. Stay posted for lots of exciting Faded Elegance news and I will be posting pictures from my Belize trip.

Life's Little Luxuarys...Pom Pom At Home

Pom Pom embodies a lived in elegant look that is still relaxed and casual. This is the main inspiration to this unique collection which transforms everyday experiences into sheer delight. We spend half our life in bed. Why not enjoy it! This European style bedding evokes the sense of romantic glamour.

Pom Pom has introduced a 100% certified organic linen line. Not only is it delightfully comfortable it's also good for the planet.



Linen Bedding is sumptuous luxury, but at the same time very durable and machine washable. Sleeping between linen sheets has many advantages. It absorbs moister and functions as a heat conductor which is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Linen does not cause any allergies.
Come check out our fabulously luxurious bed made up in yummy Pom Pom bedding.

I get sleepy just looking at it!

Sweet Dreams

~Kimberly

Easter is right around the corner, it's early this year. I love Easter, you have pretty Easter dresses, Easter baskets and great spring decorations. I have my entire family for Easter, I make everyone a basket and we have a giant Easter egg hunt. This year Easter is going to be hectic, I am leaving for Belize next week for my sisters wedding, we will be getting home just in time for Easter!
Today, our Easter candy arrived, these delightful award winning chocolate Carrots, Bunnies and Eggs are made the European method with a special blend of rich hand picked cocoa beans.
These gourmet solid milk chocolate candies make a wonderful addition to an Easter basket of a token of appreciation.
I display these darling faux chocolate bunnies and eggs on my dessert buffet staggered on different height cake plates. Someone all ways mistakes them for the real thing!

Georgianna Lane

I am always surprised by the talented people that I meet in my store. Georgianna Lane is a very talented freelance photographer who is as lovely as her pictures. I love getting lost in her blog. I swear that I can smell the fragrant scents of the flowers that she captures in her pictures.
























Febuary 14th Georgianna and her husband spent the day in Snohomish and took the most beautiful pictures of the store. http://GeorgiannaLane.blogspot.com/2010/02/faded-elegance.html

I totally suggest losing yourself in Georgianna's blog, it's the best cure for Spring Fever. Also check out her work on Etsy: GeorgiannaLane.etsy.com
