So...You Love Green? Us Too!

Monday, June 10, 2013

We wanted to take a little side trip from the "norm"... We found the perfect shade of green that we L❤ve!!! We experimented and it's a hit!

So many greens, the "Perfect" one is a must!
Take a look at some of our Pretty green choices!
Keep on the lookout for some pretty new pieces!

Cottage furniture and Australian Shepherds.....

Monday, August 8, 2011

                                                            What do they have in common?  
                                                                                    .
                                                                                    .
                                                                                    .
     My extreme  love for both.......strange ends of the spectrum, Australian Shepherds are very busy, Cottage furniture is very soothing, maybe I need each to even out the gap between crazy busy and calm perhaps? :)

Roses, Roses, Roses!

Monday, August 30, 2010

Roses galore!  We found the most spectacular French Provincial tall chest that we have ever seen!  I don't think I have ever seen such a narrow dresser that is so tall.  We have added the roses, but all the other carvings are original.  Soooo Pretty!
Just when we thought we had found the most amazing piece with the dresser above, we found these fabulous pieces! (there is a matched set, we only have one done). Two gorgeous French Provincial Bombay style armoire's.  They were painted yellow and pink, we of course changed them to creamy white and added scrumptious rose appliques.  The date inside is 1979. 
 
If I had a place to put them in my home I surely would!

~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!

All the Leaves are brown and the sky is grey....

Friday, November 13, 2009

The words of that song from the Mamma's and Papa's come to mind every fall.  My sister and I usually will sing it on our gallivanting trips on our way to auctions and estate sales.  Somehow the feeling of brown falling leaves and grey skies brings about a warm feeling of wanting to bake and do some nesting and collecting!  We accomplish both while we enjoy each other's company.  Talk about nesting, how about this luscious pie that we made today?  We added crust leaves to the top to herald in the blustery fall day...


Yummy.....apple cranberry pie, can it get any better than that with a cup of tea?



My sister is an avid collector of Blue Calico dishes, so pretty atop a chic and shabby table with vintage lace doilies!  She has the most awesome pie server to die for in sliver, notice the butterfiles and flower etchings...

My love of pewter drives me to collect all different types of pretties....  How about this really rare cream pitcher with ram heads and legs?  I have left the patina on it because it is so awesome!  I would guess that it is an art deco piece, circa 1920's

Pewter coffee pots drive me wild too...

Sometimes I wish these items we collect could talk.....I would love to know where they came from and know all the secrets they could tell!

And oh yes!  The pie was scrumptious!
