Celebrating One Year!
Hello Everyone,
It is our one year anniversary!!! How time flies!!!
To celebrate our first year open we will have a plethora of new treasures in the shop starting tomorrow…in fact there are so many new things that I hardly know where to start!
And while all the new items will be out starting tomorrow, we plan on having sparkling cider and pastries on Saturday and Sunday as well as a give-away for 2 gift cards of $50 each (you can put your name in the jar starting tomorrow but the winners will be randomly picked Sunday around 4-ish) .
As for the new treasures…I am going to start off with the antiques. We have over 200 new natural history prints from the 1830s by Buffon that are hand water-colored and the subject of birds & mammals. They will range from $10-$40 per page which makes for an amazing and unique gift for the holidays! I will include an unfortunately blurry picture of a few but do come in and peruse our selection. We also have some really unique French enamel pins, pendants and a bracelet from the early 1900s and all in perfect condition (there are 2 Joan of Arc pins) as well as a huge selection of vintage sterling charms from England that will range in price from $12-$28 (some have moveable parts). We also have a few new Victorian mourning pieces that are really exceptional and last (but certainly not least) is a holy relic of St. Therese de Lisieux (a piece of bone).
Here is also my latest collection of jewels! I have a weakness for art nouveau whimsy and this collection is all made with antique French centerpieces (with the exception of the two fairy blossom necklaces) that are either flowers or art nouveau women that I have renamed as being fairies. I also wanted to use some of the truly exceptional gemstones that I have been saving for quite some time.
In addition to creating jewelry I love creating these little vignettes filled with intriguing objects from times past and nature. It is like being able to peer into a tiny little world of mysteries and make up stories around each object and simply let one’s imagination run wild. These are all one of a kind and I will have them all hanging in the shop starting tomorrow.
And we also got in several additions of Lark’s pottery! There are small vases and large urns and other treasures as well. Enjoy the pictures and we hope that you can come see us for our 1 Year Anniversary!
We hope to see you this week for our one year celebration!
