As Dorothy says, "There's no place like home", and after a long road trip, no sentiment could be truer. The New England road trip was lovely (even if there were days that it was cooler in Florida than in Vermont), and with a stop to visit friends in Chestertown, Maryland, home of the original Sophisticated Vintage, and the opportunity to breeze through the Brimfield Antiques Market - well, who could ask for more?
I've been unpacking and photographing like mad this week and as of this afternoon it looks like I've made some headway: I can almost see the dining room sideboard and table, both of which were obscured by my finds just a few days ago. I never know what I'll find on these road trips, and the pleasure is doubled when I'm just as delighted unpacking something as I was with it when finding it.
Here's a little peek at what's been added to the
Etsy shop this week - there's more there now and more to in the works, so be sure to check back. I'm particularly working on wonderful table ware for Autumn so that's yet to come. Hope you enjoy "finding" these as much as I did!
