Chairs, ya can't have too many!




How many of you love chairs...shabby, old, sweet, country chairs? I am finding out that they are favored by many people. A new member of the Yahoo group that I have (The Shabby Country Cottage) kind of made me realize I've always had a fondness for vintage child chairs. They come and go, like pretty much everything around here, but while they are in my possesion I do adore them! So here's a couple pics I snapped today.

French Door Greenland NH




         A gal I know recently opened a fabulous shop in Greenland NH. I have to tell you, she has done a wonderful job.
Her displays are just fabulous. What a delight!
I cannot say enough about how beautiful this shop is. You need to see for yourself!



The shop, French Door, is located on Route 33, next to the new Subway sandwich shop. Stop in & say HI to Dolly!

Essex Mass

Cellar in a great shop in Essex Mass, awesome old brick floor.

Essex Mass view across salt marsh

Gorgeous view from where we ate (Farnham's Clams) in Essex Mass. LOVE this old house, I wanted to go sit on that fabulous porch!
Spent the day down in Ipswich & Essex Mass today.

Here is The White Elephant Antiques shop. The big red place is in town & is filled, inside & out. When it gets too full, items are moved to the other place the owners have up the road, a gigantic old farm house/barn. Then everything is 50-75% off!

This shop is called Rose Cottage Romance & is on Route 133 across from the Ipswich School. The displays were fabulous, several dealers all with similar tastes, make it a very welcoming & shabbilicious shop.

There's another group shop next to it called High Street Antiques.

Today's Auction Finds

Some of these auction finds may find their way into my house but ideally they should all go into the shop. Check back this weekend for more pics & prices.
