We popped in to the arena for the Middlefork Flea Market. Lots of cool stuff, visit my girl Kim from Back Alley Creations, she’s under the scoreboard. I unfortunately lost Cameron at the Pokémon table 🤦‍♀️

Tomorrow The Shoppes at Charlotte's will be having their outdoor market and the shop will be open.

I’m a firm believer in dream it, believe it, manifest it. Like most things I do, this prize box started as a simple idea to buy you lunch… and then it took on a life of its own — a very French life! And fair warning… more goodies may still be added.
Inside the box, you’ll find a darling Bucket List notebook, a pen to inspire your manifesting, and if you’ve seen Emily in Paris, you’ll love the Emily in Paris Cookbook. We’d also love to treat you to lunch at Charlotte's Coffee & Tea Shop! Tucked inside the adorable coin purse, you’ll find a $25 gift card.

Grab a bite to eat, relax at one of the outdoor tables, and start dreaming up your bucket list. Imagine yourself sitting at a charming café in a destination you’ve always wanted to visit. Of course, we included some macarons to help set the mood… ooh la la! And the cute keepsake box is perfect for holding memories from all your future adventures.

Thank you for supporting my small business. Without you, Grace & Lou wouldn’t be possible.

Pitchers can be so versatile...use as a vase, put wooden spoons in them, even hide your mad money in. They also look lovely just plain.

Did you know that at Grace & Lou we ship if you aren't in the area? Also, if you see a piece and are afraid someone will grab it before you can make it in, you can call the shop and pay over the phone. 217-597-7513

Tagged some perfume mini’s. These would make a sweet addition to your vanity. At the shop now.

We love to repurpose, hate to see things end up in the landfill. We often bring in old, vintage items that can be given a new life. Do you have a chip in a special wine glass, use it as a pretty little vase for intimate setting. Old insulators make wonderful candle holders. Who knew old bed springs could make something cute?!

One time we had several vintage champagne glasses, a gal came in and bought every single one! She said she was using them for her wedding, in her centerpieces with pearls draping out of them. Love it! Wish I could have seen her tables, I'm sure it was beautiful. When you are browsing through a shop look beyond what the item is intended for, use your imagination and think outside of the box.

I have dipped into my private collection and brought out a few wonderful pieces that would be awesome for the First Friday's Luau downtown. And ladies the dress has pockets! The green clutch is vintage but would compliment any outfit. These will be at the shop later today. Apparently Betty thinks she is going to the Luau, I hate to break the news to her...
