A Visit to The Olive Branch, Clinton, Mississippi ...

One of my favorite places to shop is a little floral and gift shop in Clinton, Mississippi, called The Olive Branch.

They have beautiful and truly unique home decor and garden accessories, but the thing I enjoy most about shopping at The Olive Branch is the way everything is displayed. Miss Dede, the owner, is a very talented lady and her displays are truly works of art.

I'd like to share with you some pictures I took on my last visit and I think you will see why I love shopping at The Olive Branch.

Let's start our photo visit at the front door. You can tell Halloween is just around the corner, and I've never seen such elegant Halloween decorations.



Don't you just love those
cute little ghosts!

This "shabby" old mantel brightens a corner with seasonal color ...

This unique old cabinet holds an array of
room fresheners, scented candles, and lotions ...

One of my favorite displays features this
old door which perfectly showcases gardening decor ...
I love that lamp with the hand painted flowers and
the little chairs and the birdhouse and ... oh, I just love it all!

Here's another gardening display which is where I found the little accessories last spring to make my summer wreath (shown below)...




I buy 99.9% of my silk flowers and seasonal faux vines and berries at The Olive Branch ... and since they are also florists, I sometimes have to touch things to determine if they are real or faux.

I love this charming fall showcase, especially the
way the gourds are displayed in the wagon and wooden bowl ...


Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton ...
Old times there are not forgotten!

I love this unique collection of blue pottery, rustic stoneware,
branches of cotton, and the elegant angel ...



Everywhere you look, in every little nook and cranny of The Olive Branch, there are beautiful treasures that spark your imagination and inspire your creative side. Just take a look around ...

From "Glitzy Glittering Golds" ...

To elegant Aqua and Chocolate pottery ...

I love that aqua wicker table and this little fellow ...

And just look at these precious little "Pinocchio" Nutcrackers.
Aren't they adorable!

I like these birdhouses, especially the way they
are displayed in front of the mirrors ...


This beautiful sculpture gives us just a hint of
what is to come for Christmas at The Olive Branch ...
And I can't wait to see the rest of their treasures.

I hope you enjoyed browsing with me, and if you're
ever in the Clinton, Mississippi area, be sure
and stop by The Olive Branch and tell them I sent you.

Sincerely,
