*Just a quick side note for those of you that will be visiting us for the first time; We are not a 'shop' and have occasional sales throughout the year in our home and garden.

MORE Sunny Days!

I'm just LOVIN' it! Waking up to chilly-foggy mornings that burn off to gorgeous sunshine all day.......for how many days in a row now?

Although with all this sunshine, I am finding it a wee bit hard to think of frosty-wintery-Christmas thoughts, as our Vintage Christmas sale is just around the corner(November 20th and 21st!)

So starting tomorrow; the lights go up, a Christmas CD gets popped in the ol' stereo and we will start working on the set up of what we envision to be a beautiful and warm (and a little frosty!) special event for you :)



A peak at our lovely vintage French paper inspiration gifts and the makings of some sweet handmade ornaments...the colors are just breathtaking!

More photos will follow as the day gets closer!

Mark your calenders! Tell your friends! We want to see all of our wonderful customers and meet some new ones!

G'nite!

Gorgeous Day!

I can't believe what a gorgeous day today ended up being!

Getting the house aired out, picked up....big furniture pieces moved in and set up for the show was taken care of.

Getting the leaves raked (again), lawn mowed...weeds wacked, etc, etc.....check, check, CHECK!

I spent several hours the other night carefully ironing my antique goodies and just prayed for a sunny day to snap some photos before the rain came for good....so today was the day!

....MiMi (my poor wobbly ol' dress form) got brought outside and the stacks of pressed skirts, petticoats, camis, aprons and a few other goodies all got their pictures taken. Smile Pretty!

Take a peak:



This is an antique layered skirt or petticoat. Full length, it's gorgeous with cutwork and embroidery. ($49 ) *****SOLD******

...here is a closer look at the handwork






You definitely won't be cold this winter wearing this gem of a wintery wool coat. Vintage Neiman and Marcus, 100% wool, peachy pink satin lined...and buttons the size of golf balls! I'm not going to comment on the 'you know what' (fur) collar. Let's just say it is extremely soft and I hope it's faux. ($32)



I could not help but snap a few more photos of my latest quilt purchase. I haven't completely decided if I am keeping it or not....but it's definitely 'brag worthy'



You really have to see this in person...the silks are so iridescent and many have texture and unique patterns.



I'm in love.



......it's tattered, worn and some of the silks are completely shredded down to the stuffin'...I still look at it and say 'So what!....It's bloody gorgeous'!
