Comstock, Ferre adds Antiques!
Jul 30, 2010 We received our first collection of consignment antiques today…they are for sale in the second floor room, formerly the home of “Sit & Knit. ” The owner formerly owned an antique store, so these are some beautiful pieces! We’ll be adding new items every week so please stop by often!

this is one of my favorite ye olde tymey cookbooks i picked up a few months ago when i was antiquing with megan in santa rosa. its titled cheese recipes for wartime meals – how to make your cheese go further published in 1943 by (you guessed it) the kraft cheese company. even the cover looks so serious

Perhaps because it is almost fall and this summer has gone by so incredibly fast, my mind is on de-cluttering, purging and making space for new things in life. My husband and I spent the last week going from room to room gathering things that we no longer needed, loved or wanted. On Saturday morning we headed out very early in order to go to a flea market and sell a bunch of junk that’s taking up too much space in our lives. We had made a decision that whatever didn’t sell wasn’t coming back into the house either. So at the end I was left with only a few boxes of items to donate. The weather was so beautiful and this was our first time participating in a community flea market, in the past we would have just had a yard sale but I really enjoyed this alternative. I’d say about the only drawback (if you want to call it that) is that you may be tempted, as I was, to bring something new (to you) home. I got the two antique games below because I just love the charming images on them! I also found a couple small hand stitched textiles (which I will share in another post)

The neat thing about antiquing is that, not only can anyone participate, you never know what you’re going to find. We’ve all seen TV programs like “Antiques Roadshow”, and smiled (perhaps with a touch of envy) when someone learns that the little vase they purchased at a flea market is worth more than their house… Antiquing is simply the process of browsing for old things and collectibles.

I am deliriously happy today. Yes, that happy! Why? Because this arrived! The writing desk, that is. I bought the chair off eBay a few months ago for $60. The writing desk is another eBay buy – I’ve been hunting for something like this for a while now. We don’t have the money for lots of new furniture at the moment. So slowly, slowly I get the odd piece, usually secondhand off eBay. I love a good vintage find.

Hello friends & Fans of Pecan Cottage All I can say is “Awww.” The weather has finally turned and you can sense Autumn in the air around here. The first things my Chick Trip guests did when they arrived on Friday (besides dropping their jaws when they saw all the food and beverage I had stored up for them) was open all the windows and let the fresh, cool breeze blow through the house

On a recent trip to visit the grandparents in New Hampshire, I took a side trip to two of the many antique stores along the route. The first, Windsor Cottage Antiques in Hillsboro, was neat and tidy. The second just down the road (which is pictured to the left and whose name escapes me unfortunately) was quite the opposite.

Wow. Sometimes you don’t realize how much weird crap you find in one place until you look back on your photos from seven months ago … Did I smudge my eyeliner? Seven months ago, I was at a mall in Frackville, Pa.

It almost looks like something out of “Little House” doesn't it! As if I didn’t already have plenty of furniture for a single girl living alone…Mom showed up Saturday morning with a truck-load of more furniture for my little house. It’s amazing that I live in a completely furnished two bedroom home and I have yet to buy a single piece of furniture for it! I’m so happy to finally have my “Granny Largent” bed…and hopefully I’ll have visitors soon so I can make use of it! Granny is my great-great-great-great grandmother.

I have noticed more and more reclaimed windows upcycled as mirrors lately, and really like how they create a ‘trompe l’oeil’ of a window in the room, reflecting light back. images Ballard Designs , Coco + Kelly , Fer Travail , SalvoWeb My favourites are old art deco- looking industrial windows, as they can be quite ornamental without being fussy and add an instant architectural feature to a space. Instant yum

The photos in this post were made July 25, 2010 in Middletown CT at Amatos Toy and Hobby store on Main Street. (click to enlarge any photo) The event is described in an article in The Middletown Press: “MIDDLETOWN — More than 150 members of the National Lionel Operating Train Society attended a private showing of a 3,000-square-foot train exhibit at the 70th Anniversary celebration of Amato’s Toy and Hobby Store Wednesday evening.
Christie s Auction House screenshot old photo of a gorge running through Cornell U Campus Day 3: That is today, I woke up and began disentangling my jewelry, separating out the pieces that have meaning and any real value from the ones that do not. Most of the jewelry is now neatly placed in little cubicles within a big clear plastic box for Saturday’s sale, because, like most of the STUFF I have, it is taking up space. This is the thing with STUFF, it takes up space, in my house and in my head: cleaning all the stuff I accumulate, keeping all the stuff organized, and even thinking, who the he __ __ will want all this STUFF when I am not here?

Many people are aware of the value of Gold as an investment but few realise how safe and secure antique silver is to invest in. The current value of silver scrap has meant that the value of antique silver items rises steeply as well as the selection offered for sale reduces as owners flock to

I’m always amazed at what I find new, that I missed the last time I took a stroll thru the store. The dealers rearrange their booths, bring in new items. Something fun is always turning up. Come by and see what you can find. Here are a few photos of good stuff I found today. These pieces I found in Molly Alexander’s space…. located in the second room on the right. These dolls were in a booth with several more. Lots of people in the store shopping today. Several taking treasures home with them. Come by and get yours! See ya soon!
