Rancho Winslow - STORE HAS CLOSED

Rancho Winslow is another one of the great stores we have here on Bainbridge Island!!

It is owned by Deborah Echert and Susan Pothoff - two long time friends. Their shop is uniquely wonderful and is one of my all time favorite places to go for great silver jewelry or . . . my other love . . . really great cowboy boots!! :)

Here I will show you . . .

Isn't this one of the most beautiful belt buckles ever . . .


and just look at these cowboy boots!! Over the years I have bought several pairs
and have loved each and every one!! Quite simply - I can pass on a pair of fancy shoes - but when I see these boots I instantly become paralyzed in my tracks!! :)


I especially love the ones in the middle . . . hint, hint to my husband out there . . .


lots and lots of wonderful jewelry . . . leather, stones and . . .


wonderful silver pieces!!


and one more belt buckle that I thought was perfect for this time of year!!

Rancho Winslow is the perfect places to go for those of you who love a bit of that south-west charm . . . believe me when I say . . . "you will love it"!!

Thank you to Susan and Deborah for sharing!!

Another one of my very favorites . . . Susan Wheeler Home!!!

It is beautiful, edgy, cool, and just plain wonderful . . .
and is definitely one of my . . . favorite shops ever!!!

It is located in the Georgetown neighborhood - just south of Seattle.

So here is a look around . . . and to be honest . . . I am not sure where to begin . . .
because . . . the whole shop is amazing!!!

Just look at this wonderful chair . . . and guess what???


she has a pair of them!!! :)


Susan Wheeler . . . has a way of mixing old-world with modern in a very hip,
cool and romantic way!!! As I have said many times before . . . we are very lucky to
have her and her lovely store here in Seattle!!!


She has wonderful things women would love . . .


to a handsome old accessories - like this great vintage boat . . .


she adds sophistication with whimsy and it always . . . and I mean
always looks great!!!


This dog makes me smile every time I look at him!!!


and I love the way everything is displayed!!!


on a side note . . . this dog reminds me of my dog "Hailey" . . .


and finally . . . this is the lovely Susan Wheeler herself . . . I met her
for the first time last year at The Farm Chicks . . . and have been
amazed by her and her sense of style ever since . . . she is the real deal!!!

If you haven't been to Susan Wheeler Home . . . you definitely need to stop
by and check it out!!! You too will be amazed!!

(Thank you Susan for sharing!!)
