I’ve been in the retail business for over 25 years specializing in Home Décor, Gifts, Antiques, Clothing, and Accessories. I’ve had the pleasure of owning two wholesale, and eight retail stores. My San Diego location was a Showcase store for Heritage Lace, and a proud dealer of Shaw Rugs.
I have many sources for beautiful, high quality Home Décor items. I’m proud to feature products from my leading manufacturers, such as Heritage Lace, Shaw Rugs, and Victorian Heart. I also carry a unique variety of furniture and accessories.
I love finding new treasures to sell and will be showcasing new items in the near future. I hope you’ll enjoy visiting Décor Village from time to time to discover what’s new and exciting. Shop our online store at www.decorvillage.com and our eBay Store, www.stores.ebay.com/Decor-Village to find the highest quality of rugs, lace, quilts, furniture, home and garden. Please visit often.
I also enjoyed competing and judging pageants in the 90’s. I was Mrs. Utah 1994 in the Mrs. America pageant and Mrs. Hawaii 1996 in the Mrs. United States pageant.
Here are a few pictures of those fun times.
Sincerely,
April
What a delight!
Grew up in Fallbrook and visit San Diego often. Your shop will be a stop on my next visit!

Hello Kathryn,
Thank you for your comment. I wanted to let you know that I sold my store in San Diego in 2000. It was my favorite store out of a long list of locations. I have my internet business at http://www.decorvillage.com and http://www.stores.ebay.com/Decor-Village
My husband and I live in Southeast Texas now. It is quite a change from San Diego but we love having 10 acres and tons of trees.
Take care, and thank you for visiting my blog.
April
Dear April;
I was browsing through some pictures and found a picture of a man driving a horse drawn haywagon attached to your site. Under family fun.
I am back in school again and I would like to use the picture for a school project.
Would it be ok?
Thank you in advance

I intended to write you a bit of observation to give thanks once again for those gorgeous principles you’ve contributed on this site. It is certainly tremendously open-handed with people like you to convey extensively precisely what a number of people would’ve offered as an electronic book to make some profit for themselves, most notably since you might have tried it in case you considered necessary. These concepts likewise acted to become a easy way to be aware that the rest have the same keenness much like my very own to find out whole lot more with regards to this problem. Certainly there are thousands of more pleasurable instances in the future for many who read carefully your blog.
LOVE your ideas and photos… using many to inspire my home decor.
May I use the photo of the Mild jug lanterns in a GO GREEN magazine article to Green your Halloween? Thanks, Kara
I was delighted to find your blog. The pictures are fantastic and what ideas they have given me! Are your images copyrighted…..I make tags for a hobby not for pay and am always on the lookout for tubes that touch my soul. I am making one now as a gift for a friend who is an author and has several inspirational blogs of her own. I am in need of an outstanding picture of a white picket fence, which reminds her of her youth and the one in her yard. I found the perfect picture here on your blog and would love to use it if I may.
Actually you have many delightful pictures that would be fun to play with.
Sincerely,
Mary Lynn
