Oxford Green . . . . .

This is the lovely shop I discovered on Saturday evening 

while having a glass of wine at the Oktoberfest. Of course 

hubby, and most other people on the green where live music 

was in full swing, were quaffing large glasses of beer - 

I'm just not a beer drinker - so he managed to 

find me an overpriced plastic cup of a not too 

bad chilled Sauvignon Blanc. 

What a great guy I have!

The shops were open late so when we rounded a corner and 

spied this inviting doorway, we decided to look around.

I love it when I enter a shop and someone calls out 

"Welcome" and really seems to mean it, as owner Shawna 

(left above)did. I love it even more when the merchandise 

is gorgeous, and when I ask if I may take photos for my 

blog, the answer is, "yes of course". 

So, take a look at the shop dressed for Autumn,

 and the pretty items that caught my eye.

Shawna, and her assistant Angelica, also design 

beautiful informal floral arrangements, the kind 

I love. I must go back and get some pics of their 

work with flowers another time.

I was thrilled to see my long time blog friend 

Vicki Archer's book on display - I know many of you follow 

Vicki's fabulous blog.

I love this shop, so full of color - that's something 

with me being such a 'neutral' decorator in my cottage.

On my wish list here would be the original painting 

(local artist) of the irises, one of those beautiful 

birdhouses, the floral inspired trumeau style mirror, 

and some of those gorgeous blue planters. 

I also love the menswear fabric pumpkins for fall decorating.

So, what would you like to take home from Oxford Green?

Edited: Here's a few of the beautiful flower arrangements I told you about.
I went back today. Rain is coming down in buckets, but as I'd
already made lunch plans at a restaurant almost next door, I was 
able to take a lovely friend with me and introduce her to 
the pleasures of Oxford Green.
