post hurricane musings

September was complicated. First there was the settling back in from our voyage to Vermont (where I would have happily spent the month of September!). Then, all of a sudden, there was a hurricane bearing down on us. Having been through Matthew last year we had no desire to sit around waiting for Irma to arrive so we self-evacuated. That was made quite palatable by it being the week of the month that Scott's Antiques Market takes place in Atlanta. Georgia, here we come!

A super show with super finds, from modern to rustic, just the way we like them. From a fab pair of modern Mexican tin bird candlesticks

in my Etsy shop listed here

to a fun rustic farmhouse style stool in layers of old white, blue and green paint

find it here

and let's not forget the holidays are on the way - entertain or gift a fab set of silver Japanese lacquerware cocktail trays - from Nieman Marcus no less!!

find them here

Things are hopping here. Hope they are for you too, in a good way!! - marilyn

News for September

August flew by way too fast. Our annual road trip to Vermont, and lots of excitement with the opening of our new shop on Ruby Lane where you'll find antiques that we love.

As is always the case, we found wonderful things on our road trip (the only question is how we ever fit them all in the car!). Here are some of our favorites:

In our new Ruby Lane shop, a fantastic - and huge - wicker rattan boat bumper buoy. I've never seen one quite like it before; isn't it terrific??

fabulous patina - 27" long and 53" circumference, listed here

A classic in our Chairish shop, a Kartell design lucite lamp with "pleated" shade that we just love

such style! find it here

And over on Etsy, a touch of rustic charm. I always like finding vintage fishing creels; love them hung on a front door with seasonal flowers and greens!

original leather trim adds to its vintage charm. find it here

As you can see, it's been a busy month, but a good one. And I'm always happy to see Fall arrive; it's no secret that it's my favorite season.

Wishing you all a happy September, full of great finds and joy. Peace out - marilyn
