Simply Posh…….
One of my favorite pastimes is SHOPPING! Wow, surprise there, right! This little store opened earlier this year in DeKalb, and has quickly become one of my favorite shops. I have always loved antiques but don’t always like regular antique shops. A lot of the time they are dark, cluttered and “smelly”. Sorry, but you know what I mean… you get all of that old stuff in one place and it just smells old and musty.
Well, that’s what’s so different about this shop… it’s bright, uncluttered and imaginative! As the owner, Kathryn Colvin aptly puts it on her business cards; “reimagination”, “one soulful treasure at a time”. Needless to say, I have already put several of her pieces to good use. The other really great thing about this little shop is, the prices are GREAT!
Here is my new friend, and owner of Simply Posh, Kathryn! Isn’t she the cutest little thing? And right here in front of the counter you see two of my purchases; both metal stands in the bottom left corner. The taller one is now outside my door at the store with flowers in it, and the other one has become a great display container for fat quarters.
Kathryn is not yet a quilter, but there is hope for her yet. She has been to our store and loves fabric, so it’s only a matter of time. AND, she lives near my store, pretty big coincidence right?
We are at the Madison Show until next week. I will post a blog when I get back.

That looks like a fabulous shop. Wish we were closer so we could just hop over and check it out in person!
