~sO sHaBbY DeLiCiOuS!~ Pink rose Chintz!

Sunday, March 7, 2010

Oh My!  It is so hard to believe that we are only 9 weeks away from the Brimfield Antique Show!  Winter has seemed so long and dark, but the Spring season will soon be upon us and time will start to fly by again!  We have been hard at work, filling orders for custom pieces of furniture and also digging up new ideas to keep us excited for the season to come.  We are excited to announce that we have started to offer a line of vintage, newly upholstered furniture.  This will be a new venture for us, we hope that our customers will be as excited as we are!  Here are a couple of new offerings we have currently and will be adding more as time goes on.  It has been so much fun finding pieces that we think our customers will love!
Such pretty pink rose chintz, pink check and green toile!
We have painted the wood a creamy white and lightly distressed it...
Roses and Stripes in pink and green with a touch of pink chenille...how charming!
Notice the pretty French cane sides, truly one-of-a-kind!

Winter Fun!

Saturday, February 6, 2010

The winter has been long and cold, the beauty of a winter day still holds charm!

We decided that it was time to take a break and give the dogs some fun in the snow!


The fresh fallen snow put a hush on the world....

It's not really time to go home is it mom?

A new young man in our lives!

Monday, December 14, 2009

Sadly, we lost one of our beloved working companions two weeks ago.  My sister and I have always had our dogs at our feet as we work on our furniture projects.  After 11.5 years, our faithful Aussie, Digby had to say goodbye.  It was with great emotion that we let him go.  He was so much a part of our daily work day.  But......we now have a new little boy to join Molly, our beautiful, gentle yellow lab.  She is so willing to have him join the crew, we are so proud of her.  We welcomed Caleb to the fold, a 10.5 month old Aussie boy that had to be given up by his previous owners because of financial and health problems.  We traveled 17 hours round trip to rescue him and give him his forever home.  He is quite the character, just take one look at him and you will understand why we all love him already...........

WELCOME CALEB!

(Notice my goofy tongue hanging to one side and my pretty blue eyes!)

Ice Castles in the Sun!

Wednesday, December 9, 2009

What an experience!  One that we will never forget for sure.  Driving the winding road up to Mohonk Mountain House was a breathtaking spectacle.  Every curve in the road brought us closer to the ice castle in the sky, the gem of the Hudson River Valley.  We were quite surprised to see what lie ahead of us, from the bottom of the mountain we saw ice glistening, but surely we were not ready for what finally awaited us!



Every branch was covered with an inch of ice with the sun sparkling through!  Even the parking lot lamps were a thing of beauty!  AHHH!


There wasn't much to say except to stare in awe.....



Everyone up there stood in quiet reflection, how could anything be that beautiful?
This bench wanted to welcome you to sit and just gaze....






Even the red winter berries were decked out in their glory....


What a glorious time we had!  One never to be repeated I am sure....


If you love true Victorian architecture, this is the place to visit!

The love of vintage oil paintings....

Friday, November 20, 2009



I have a great love for vintage oil paintings, I cannot pass one up if the price is right!  Since it it's Show and Tell Friday, I will show off my unbeliveable find from the Brimfield Mass antique show.  I found this many years ago.  I was wandering the field at May's and stumbled across this beauty.  Being uneducated about art, I was drawn to the subject matter and thought it would look wonderful hanging in my kitchen.


 I was too afraid to ask the price for fear it would be WAY out of the range of reality.  I left for home and couldn't stop thinking about it because I loved it so much.  It tugged at me and I made my husband drive me back up to Brimfield that night at dusk.  It was getting dark and fear struck me that I may have missed it and wouldn't remember what booth I saw it at.  After about a half hour of frenzied running up and down the aisles.....there it was!  Dusty and dirty, stuffed in a corner on the ground.... Waiting for me!  I swallowed my fear and asked the gentleman how much he wanted for it, figuring that it would be in the hundreds....."$20.00"  he said "and it's yours"  I just about dropped dead!
Of course my hand trembled as I bought it, realizing that it must surely be worth more than that!

I did research and found that it was done by a signed artist.....an artist that was well known for doing landscapes, his still life paintings are really rare....

It now hangs proudly in my kitchen as a reminder that there are still wonderful works of art to be found in unsuspected places if you look hard enough!

Our wonderful trip to Williamsburg Virginia

Tuesday, November 17, 2009

While going through some pictures of our recent visit to Williamsburg VA,  I was once again reminded of the absolute beauty of Colonial Williamsburg, a piece of history that has been restored for us to enjoy.  I know my impression is one of romance and grandeur, but the reality is that it was a hard way of life unless you were rich.....I know I wouldn't have been rich....but it is nice to daydream of days gone by....
The Apothecary Shop 
I adore the color!

I would LOVE to have the blue and white pottery!

The Chandeliers were breathtaking!






To be a proper lady or gentleman, you would absolutely need a wig....


And of course the finest made dress and undergarments from the dress shop...
(I adore the cabinetry)

Then off to the Inn for some lunch....


I loved this sweet ox:


And his friend the pet chicken (he's 11 years old!)


And if I lived there, I would want this to be my backyard, sheep and all:


If you love history and gorgeous surroundings, plan a trip to Colonial Williamsburg, it is truly beautiful!
