Give Him The World...

with this fabulous Mid Century Library Globe...
A new addition to the shop this week.

Dad was our inspiration for our newest window display...after all,
Father's Day is Sunday June 20th.

A pair of very old and very HEAVY architectural doors are the perfect backdrop
for our man window.
Each door measures 32" wide and 84" tall.
A few ideas on how you can use these doors.
* Display in a shop or restaurant
* Wine Cellar or Pantry Doors
* Use outside in the garden - leading to a secret garden path with vines growing over the iron!
* Remove the iron, refinish and use inside the home
They have the original old handles which I am pretty sure are brass underneath the paint...very cool set. Will require 2 men to move em since they weigh about 150 pounds each!
Price $595

$795 -Sold

We LOVE this grand old drafting table! This is the piece that all the men drool over..and the ladies dream of! It's a desk, a dining table, a bar, a crafting table..it is whatever you want it to be!

The height will adjust by turn of the old crank and lifting the top!
Character dings and a warm original patina make this a very special and unique piece.

$125

This vintage industrial stool with the old green paint is a great match with the table,
but would be equally sweet as a kitchen stool!

$125

An old glass front metal bookcase will hold your favorite collection of books or seashells. Looks great sitting on top of the drafting table, but maybe it would fit on your kitchen counter top to hold your cookbooks! If brown isn't your color, have it painted in a new shade.
Set of vintage books- Sold.

$89

We married this vintage industrial cage shade and vintage sconce. We love it and know you will too! Truly a one of a kind funky little light!

We fell in love with these old springs the minute we saw them..who doesn't LOVE this shade of green?!! You can use them as book ends or to hold a pair of scissors on your crafting table!

$18 pr -Sold

Care to "tie one on?" We couldn't resist this pair of vintage novelty tumblers.
Wish there were more to offer you, but we only have the two.

And last , but certainly not least, is this beautiful old french bronze statue.

33 Drawers...How Would You Fill Them?

It was like Christmas morning when I came into the shop and saw this! I was so excited...that I didn't even wait for the drawers to be added for the picture, and we have every single drawer, a total of 33! I just HAD to start filling those cute little cubbies. The smaller size drawers have zinc sides and the larger ones are all wood. All of the round knobs are made of the same wood. I really need to take a shot of this with some drawers to show you how wonderful this piece really is!



We found this wonderful and rare hardware cabinet filled with old knobs, hooks and misc. hardware! It didn't have a base, so Jon built one for it. It holds so much for us...blank cards, letter openers, hooks, knobs, seashells and more.
I could see this piece filled with crafting supplies, sewing or jewelry making supplies, bills? scratch that last one...
So...how would you fill these drawers?

Sorry for the glare... :( I think the best time to take photos is just after sunset but I'm never around the shop at that hour!

With each window change, I always find myself saying.."this might be my favorite window display ever" however, I really do like this one. This is our "baby window" I love doing this window because it can be done in snap and it doesn't take much to fill it! It all started with a beautiful vintage pale pink gown, trimmed in lace and pearls. A vintage white drop front desk to holds an array of wonderful treasures that any Mom would love! My favorite piece is the 1930's framed print of the Birth of Venus. The soft muted colors and the chippy pink and gold frame is pretty amazing. It only lasted a couple of days in the window. And just as I am writing this post, I received a call that the white desk has sold. Looks like this window will be changing all over again tomorrow! This is when I need to remind myself..Keep Calm and Carry On.

These make wonderful Mother Day gifts
