Fall is Around the Corner

Delicious autumn. My very soul is wedded to it. And if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

George Eliot

Pumpkins are ready at the farmer's markets and pick you own apple season has begun. Here are some photos that we took last autumn in New England.

Our Great Finds...

This weekend's flea marketing yieled some great finds from an 1840's leather carriage trunk to an Edwardian night gown to a great old clock face to early pink lustre wear and many other whimsical treasures!

Treasure Hunting

Here are photographs of some new finds!! The shabby chic green display case is one of our favorite recents finds. We love the way the statue we found earlier this summer fits in it!! The wood underneath the chippy green paint is wonderful, but we love the shabby look! We think the apothecary jars would look fab in the case too! It will be making its way into the shop soon. Who knows what treasures we will display in it.
We have displayed the vintage statue of Venus with beautiful pink sea fans! We're looking forward to brocanting in the morning! We love a treasure hunt!

Weekend Finds...

The weather this weekend was perfect and we had such fun searching the countryside for treasures. Here are a few of our finds! The darling early doll is a homemade with cloth body covered in stockings, composition hands, a sewn on face an old cotton dress. She made friends with another recent find, our wonderful, much loved Teddy!







We also found this lovely vintage Venus statue, antique bells, and early lace bonnet.

Felicitous Finds

We had a wonderful weekend brocanting and uncovered many treasures! Here are a few of our weekend finds! They sing out "Robins in the Trundle Bed." The dresses are two of our earliest pieces. The women's muslin dress dates to the 1830's and the child's calico dress dates to the Civil War era. Notice the birdcage which dates to the late 1800's!
