Hi! Well, today concludes my series of photos from Horton's Christmas open house! Thank you to everyone for stopping by and viewing all of my pictures, it's been a lot of fun to show you this neat little store tucked away in Tipton, Indiana. I am officially in the Christmas mood!!
that chippy little vintage step ladder came home with me :)
not only does Donna use many vintage items woven into her beautiful displays, but she enlists the help of artists to make handmade items that fit her theme...it's touches like that that really add interest to this wonderful store!
I love Donna's use of regular hardware store house numbers to decorate with, I might just have to try that one...
Thank you to the Horton family for letting me be a part of this fabulous event...and thank you also for the very best peppermint fudge I have EVER had!!! {yes they make their own fudge in this hardware store}
Have a wonderful weekend my friends! My oldest daughter turns 9 on Monday so we are having her "kids" party and her family party this weekend, so it'll be a busy weekend for me!!

That is amazing that a Hardware store goes to so much work for the
holidays!
So many great ideas, very clever and unique!
What a fun place to visit!
Sue
Wow! Looks like an awful lot of stuff that would want to come home with me! I need to go there!!
I have enjoyed all of the pictures you have posted. So many great ideas!
Jane
Thanks so much for posting the lovely pictures! I live about 2 hours away & wasn't able to attend the Open House. I was at the store once & it definitely was worth the trip!
As much as I loved the red theme yesterday, my favourite would be these tones...linen/burlap/old timber-colours, lots of black accents...just gorgeous. If I'm ever in Indiana at christmas.....

This has been so much fun visiting the store through your lens. Let's make a date to do it again next year...'kay?
Debbie
P.S. Remember...kids can smell fear...never let them know!
It's easy to see why you are in the holiday spirit. Wonderful place. Lovely share.
these are my favorite ones...this area of the store looks more my 'style'....i know you have been looking for a stool! glad you found it!!
what an incredible store display! the attention to detail is amazing.......
HI Tracey... As I am finished with most decorating I found a couple little pieces of inspiration to create with some existing objects in my home... One of them being the little shaker with the glitter with the tag saying " The Sparkle Of Christmas"... I have a shaker sitting in my kitchen window that soon will have some glitter and a tag... Thankss for sharing these lovely pics.....
I would not know where to begin to shop....I see so many lovely things I want to bring home.
Oh how I wish I could just wiggle my nose and magically appear in that shop...HEAVEN! xoxoxo
I have thoroughly enjoyed shopping at Hortons via your beautiful posts!
I would surely have hyperventilated if I had actually been there!!!
And now I'm officially "in love" with Horton's! So many pretty, pretty things...I'd break the bank in that store;) Happy busy weekend to you:)
I have beautiful thing overload! I could not decide what to look at next. So any wonderful ideas. I love the neutral colors. This has given me inspiration... I'm thinking of decorating a little more subdued this year.
What a great and creative post!

I would have to be pinched if I was there.
Amy
There are so many things to look at I could browse for hours. What a wonderful shop.
~Heidi
I have enjoyed this series of pics! So many great ideas! Using the house numbers for decorating is a great idea -- loving numbers like I do, I'll have to try it. Thanks for sharing!
Amy (:
Several things come to mind...sensory overload, more eye candy than I've ever seen in one place, and $250,000 underfunded to go there.
Wow, Thanks for sharing!
I want to climb inside and grab at least an arm full to bring home & start decorating here. Your photos are beautiful, Tracey. Peppermint fudge sounds so good!
xo~Tracie
Wow, just so many pretty things! I can't stop looking at the pictures. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Tracey,
Many thanks for sharing all these fabulous photos with us.
Yes, I really feel like Christmas is sneaking up on us quicker than I would have hoped.
Happy Birthday to your daughter and I hope that you all have a lovely weekend.

Wow...I was so excited to see today that this place is in Indiana...and not too far from where we will be moving, so I hope to get there next year. Thanks for the headsup...the pics and ideas were AWESOME!
thanks tracy for sharing all the yummy photos! i would love to be able to go in person! i know you had a blast! happy birthday to your little girl!
Now I'm completely in the holiday mood! That place is awesome, thanks so much for the tour Tracey! xo ~Lili
Thank you so very much for sharing your trip with us! These pictures are lovely!
I just looked at all 3 sets of your wonderful photos. I would have spent a bundle in there. Evrything is so beautifully decorated, gorgeous and magical! What a treat for us to view your photos. I'm in the mood to decorate now! Happy Birthday to your daughter.
You got out of there with just that adorable little step ladder??? You did a whole lot better than I would'ave, Tracey! lol! I do believe that that store is soooo worthy of a nice drive from southern Michigan. I'm going to have to Google it and find out how long of a drive it is for me, grab some friends, and plan a road trip!! :) Awesome photography, too, girl! Just beautiful!
xoxo laurie
That shop is just amazing. What a study of wonderful gems. How nice of you to share it with us. There are so many things I liked.
Just fabulous!
This hardware store is fantastic! I think more hardware stores should do this. Thanks for sharing, but I'm sure you enjoyed the trip!
I enjoyed every, I mean every photo. It's the kind of store where you must circle, and circle again and again to see and appreciate it all. Ahh holiday decorating mood- I feel it all over now. Thank you so much.
Hi Tracey! I've so
enjoyed your gorgeous
pics of the Horton's
Christmas sale. When
we used to live in
LaGrange, IL, there
was a fabulous Hardware/
Home store there called
Horton's. I wonder if
it is the same family?
My beautiful pine hall
tree was purchased there,
and I used to troll the
aisles and dream!
xx Suzanne
This is incredible! Thank you so much for sharing all of these fabulous spaces as Horton's with us!
Oh my goodness...how much inspiration in those photos is amaaaazing! I bet you are definitely in the Christmas mood...
