One of our new calling cards: There is nothing more exciting than a weekend in June spent brocanting. We had fun taking photographs of our finds in the garden and on our porch before they make their way into our shop or on to Ebay. We found a pair of exquisite antique French spelter statues; a divine French 1890's gown; a charming folk art pointer dog who seemed quite at home under the azalea bush pointing the way to the garden and many other whimsical one-of-a-kinds! Stop by the shop or check out ebay (user name shemarielizabeth) to see all of our finds. Feel free to contact us if you are interested in any of our items!
Here are some of our weekend flea marketing finds. They will be making their way into the shop soon....more photographs to follow including two wonderful signed bronze statues.
The bridal veil in our yard was a long ago gift from a dear friend who every spring gave gifts of her beautiful bridal veil to all her neighbors. Each May we remember her when we look in the neighborhood and see this delicious springtime bush that cascades with the glory of a June bride's veil.
Having learned from us, our dog Hawthorne, barked at us to stop the car when he saw interesting merchandise on the side of the road. Hawthorne has been looking for the perfect rustic get away cottage and decided to check this out! The price was right but it was too much of a fixer upper for him!
If you notice the storm debris in the background, you can see why Hawthorne decided to check out the condition of the roof!
