Shabby Stems is now offering RENTAL! With our beautiful vintage and handcrafted inventory, together we can create an amazing atmosphere for your event. With our rental pieces we can create an environment,  inspired and manifested in its decor,  in which your guests won't be able to forget.


What kind of events can Shabby Stems outfit? 

At Shabby Stems,  we like to get creative and are inspired by thinking outside of the box. Here
 are a few examples that Shabby Stems could help design and set up.-Birthday parties (Sweet Sixteen, One Year's, "Over the Hill", etc...)-Graduation Ceremonies (College, High-school, or what about a graduation from a stressful situation!)-Family Reunions (Incorporating photo booths, or our Railroad Coffee Table Cart for a bar!)-Marriage Ceremonies and Receptions (on the other hand I've heard of Divorce parties becoming popular... hey it could be a reason for celebrating)-Dinners and Brunches (An outside dinner party? A rustic themed, Sunday brunch, for the heck of it? We could incorporate a waffle bar using a vintage troph.)-Grand Openings-Baby and Wedding Showers (Cute and classy!)


We can help you brainstorm.


Consultations, at the Gallery, can provide you with examples of set ups for your upcoming event.
 Let's brainstorm together!



We LOVE this rental. Who couldn't use a bar? Add your personal touches or Shabby Stems can show some talent with their creative ways!


Weathered chrome chairs. Rent with our vintage lighting (what about candle sticks?), set amongst the greenery,  to set the mood. WA LA!


Globes could be the that perfect accessory of a Bon Voyage Party!



Rent this microphone and let the guests give top-notch toasts with class.


Hand crafted and modern typography.... a wedding ceremony or reception... engagement party.


This accent will draw more attention than the food itself!
 (Well okay, the cupcake stations might get rave reviews as well!)

A full listing of our rental inventory coming soon!

As some of you may have noticed stepping into Ronan's Door in downtown Spokane, WA. I'm no longer a vendor present with the lovely boutique because of new changes. I apologizes for any inconvenience I have caused you. If there was a special antique or furnishing you were interested in; please at all means email: hdalke45@msn.com
((Again my apologizes!))

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Also remember our Gallery is always Open my appointment if you can't wait until the next event.

                  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


 Mark your calendar Memorial Weekend for our 4th annual 
SSF Vintage Art in the Garden Show 
Saturday, May 25, 2013 9am ~ 5pm 
(free admission) with unique Vendors nestled in over 1000 perennials thur out the Gardens along with Shabby Stems Furnishings 500 square foot Gallery Garage filled with vintage goods and repurposed furnishings also more displayed thru out the yard available for purchase. 


 If your interested in participating. Please email me (Holly) with photos of your Displayed Handcrafted Art from other Shows.

Note: At this time we are Full with Jewelry Vendors.

Looking for Metal Art, Painters, Glass Artists, and Music the list is endless. If you have participated in the past years I will be notifying you shortly if your interested in returning. I found it to be more interesting to the public eye and interest in attending year after year if I have a few different vendors each year. Otherwise it becomes a Dull Show! People won't attend year after year due to the size of the grounds if I have the same vendors year after year.

Namaste,
Holly
