Harmony Landing in Homewood

Part Two of "Homewood" (click on photos for larger views)

Harmony Landing is another quaint little store located in Homewood, just between At Home and Seibels for Camps and Cottages in Homewood. Harmony Landing is a classic take on furnishings. Think Southern Living as a store. Harmony is another great store that offers custom fabrics and recoverings as well as furniture and home accessories.

Harmony was in it's best dressed fall decor when I stopped by the other day. A perfect tablescape was set for the makings of a fabulous fall/Halloween party.

Just look at the "old crows" that seem to have lit on the black candlesticks!

While some items in the store are out of my price range, they do offer some fabulous ideas!
As I strolled around the store I came across these coasters and a light bulb went off in my head.
This could be one of my personalized Christmas gifts that I make this year!! By getting some tiles from a home supply store, then decoupage pictures from magazines, old postcards, pets, family and friends onto the tiles. Add a cork backing with some double stick tape (to be sure that it is level. I think hot glue would be uneven) and be sure to seal so that the coaster can stand the moisture. I would also use photocopied pictures-certainly not originals! And, wow! You have a cool customized set for a loved one on your list. This can also be used for birthday gifts. I love this idea...and all because I happened to see that coaster sitting in the store!
If you are not a craft type, then Harmony Landing offers some really nifty one of a kind gifts for gift giving! If you can catch a sale (which is going on NOW!) you can get some great steals.
I did find something I couldn't live without.....

And now I am off to find just the perfect spot for my little nest.....to put some Harmony at my own Landing.
