As we work on filling our last orders for the year, I want to express my sincere gratitude for the support again this year.❤️

With so many options out there, you chose to shop small at The Rusty Ladder. I cannot explain how blessed I am to receive heartfelt comments “I just love shopping your cute little shop,” little notes of holiday wishes with payments, and being gifted food and beautiful flower bouquets including a bouquet from a 90-year-old lady’s flower garden this year. A smile as you walk in the door or a hug on your way out makes me blessed beyond belief. A post “like,” comment, and share of my posts for others to see fills my heart with gratitude!

On a day in November after my first holiday open house, I received this letter in the mail with a check and knew there was so much more than the physical presence of what the Rusty Ladder is. There are so many honest, caring, grateful individuals like this that are a part of the Rusty Ladder. Although nobody is shocked I got sidetracked talking 😂, this note reminded me of how blessed we are to have all of you! On behalf of all of us that are part of the Rusty Ladder, thank you for your support and may you all have a wonderful holiday season! ❤️. See you in a few months! 😉

Post 4 (final post) of Facebook Sale-wreaths, greenery, trees, candles, and seasonal card packs by Marlene!! Sale will run December 10th at 6 pm to December 12th at 6 pm.

Here is how the Facebook sale will work:

Comment “sold” under picture of item you want. If there are multiple items available, please comment how many you want so we know as well as others shopping. If multiple people comment, I will go with the first person that shows on my end😉

As far as sizes of items, you will notice a wooden ruler in most pictures with heights 😉

Once you are done shopping, send me a private message that you are done and a summary of what you purchased as a double check so we can communicate on delivery and payment!! I will offer free delivery to Denver, Tripoli, Janesville, and Waverly as well as having them available for porch pickup at my shop. We can also make arrangements to meet in Waterloo/Cedar Falls.

Thank you all for your support ❤️.ne

Good morning! I have decided to run a Facebook sale since several have expressed they weren’t able to make it to my events this year. Set your alarms as I will start posting sale items TONIGHT at 6 pm and they will run through 6 pm on Friday night! Free delivery to Denver, Waverly, Tripoli and I can make arrangements to meet in Waterloo/Cedar Falls. You can also pick up on the porch of my shop. If you are still trying to fill some decorating spots like me or are still looking for gift ideas, you are in luck! Thank you again to everyone for your support! ❤️

What a day that filled my heart in so many ways! ❤️. We had a great day at the Denver Bazaar today! Even though the setup isn’t as cute as what it is in my shop, you guys showed up and supported us! I am so thankful for you and my family who all helped make it possible ❤️. Not only were you so supportive of us in Denver, I was honored to have Rusty Ladder decor in two houses that were featured in the Tripoli Tidings & Tastings event today and couldn’t wait to see pictures (as shown in this post). How cool is that!?! For those that know me well know I say it a lot….”every day is truly a blessing” and today truly was. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Come visit all of the great vendors tomorrow (Saturday) from 10-4 at the Legion along with other small businesses in Denver as a redo to Small Business Saturday! We crammed as much Rusty Ladder merchandise as we could into our two vehicles and headed into Denver to set up tonight! Boy am I thankful I only do this once a year and I am extra thankful for my family who helps as I could not do it without them! 😉 And don’t forget all of the other happenings around Denver for their Old Fashion Christmas celebration!! This is our last show before the Christmas holiday so come visit us! Chad made some more snowmen and their noses are gluing tonight to to be ready for tomorrow 😉
