All Things Lovely! Abother Great Brimfield Antique Show!

Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Our booth at the Brimfield Antique Show, full opening day!
We just finished another Brimfield Antique show and met some amazing new customers!  What fun we had with old friends and new acquaintances!  The weather was hot, a few storms thrown in, but our faithful customers old and new came once again to wish us well and to see all the new pretties we had.  Our show was a raging success, we left at the end of the week tired and happy!  Our husbands were happy because the load was light coming home!

We had many pretty dressers and beds!

"SOLD" tags were fun to see!  (Thank you!)



This gorgeous 1920s vanity found a new home at the shore in Massachusetts!

We want to thank our wonderful customers for making our July show a success, we look forward to seeing you in September!

A New Line of Vintage Boys Furniture!

Friday, July 9, 2010

We have decided to start doing a line of vintage, retro inspired boys room furniture.  It is so hard for our customers to find great furniture for boys!  The furniture we are doing brings back the nostalgic feelings of years gone by, back to a time when life seemed a little slower and more fun!  We are transforming furniture from the 1940s-60s into pieces of usable art, furniture that is solid wood and has another 100 years in it!  We take pride in the fact that we are doing our part to help recycle wonderful pieces of furniture and make them live again!  Please make sure to come and have a look!  BOYS ROOM FURNITURE

A great retro look done in upholstered headboard and appliqued footboard.
Perfect for any Rootin' Tootin' cowboy!
Wonderful retro, vintage looking fabric!  Wonderful in person!

Family wedding in NYC!

Tuesday, May 4, 2010

We just spent the most beautiful weekend in NYC at my nephews wedding.  It was held at a quaint Restaurant, Freeman's Sportsman Club  which was at one time a Sportsman's club at the turn of the century.  While I am not big on taxidermy, all that is in the club are historic and looks more like a museum.  I must say that it was a beautiful, trendy destination for a wedding and we had so much fun! 
The flowers and decorations were gorgeous, real poppies and artichokes were put on the mantle....and my sister and I created rose and berry arrangements in birch containers wrapped with twine that we made.  The birch vases added to the natural theme in the restaurant.

The back bar was used to prep flowers for the wedding...

The original bar and cabinetry were amazing, just imagine the stories and camaraderie there in the 1800's!
The birch vases that we created looked so pretty on the tables!
The artichoke dip was to die for!

And of course you can't forget the delish  Magnolia cupcakes from the world famous Magnolia Bakery on Bleeker Street!
The bride loved her bouquet of ranuncula's that I created for her!
(We put it in a vase on the table after the ceremony)
The ceremony took place in the Tavern Room in front of the fireplace...
(I didn't want to put pictures of the ceremony yet because I didn't get permission!)
What a wonderful, fun, romantic day we had with our beloved family and friends!
If you are ever in NYC, make sure to check out Freemans for a wonderful dinner and fun experience!

~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!
