The most amazing steals and deals yet!!

Hello and good Sunday morning to you!  At long last the day of relaxation I have been craving and desperately dreaming of. I have in one week....... gone on two design job calls, been to Greenwich THREE times in 5 days, bought a truckload of blue and white and silver and all kinds of other goodies, had a house guest, went to two Halloween parties, attended an all day Junior League showhouse in the city, unpacked umpteen boxes of new goodies/deliveries, packed up dozens of orders to ship, went to a dinner party, a night football game, a friends birthday dinner.....ALL in one week.

I am wiped. It was all good things but too much for this 40 something year old. I am so excited to be home today, resting my feet up and just ecstatic over having to do nothing! I look forward to playing catch up with many of my favorite blogging friends, working on my blue and white contest post....past 100 entries now and let me tell you they are stupendous!! Keep em coming, going to divide them into two posts........two much beauty for one post:)


Brace yourself......I really hit the motherload. A vendor whose things are uber gorgeous and whose wares are sold in the finest stores all over the county is after many many years closing his warehouse and  relocating. So he called me about purchasing a bunch of samples and boy did I hit the jackpot. Some things I only have 2 or 3 of, and almost all I am keeping one of for myself. A few items I have more of. Everything here is being sold at a significantly discounted price. These are very special unique, old world accessories, the likes of which unfortunately you do not see very often anymore, sadly.  I also brought back a few steals and deals yesterday, that were previously sold out items. They are at the bottom of this post. So let's get busy......

  7. Tina,

    I just bought the large pheasants on ebay UK for way too much! I should have KNOWN you would have them!
    You have such impeccable taste, my friend. I loved scrolling down and looking at all the lovely Fall pieces.
    Did you dress up for your Halloween parties? What did you masquerade as?
    Try to relax and enjoy your day.

  10. GOOD MORNING TINA! Wow did you have a wild week! How in the world do you manage a manor, blog as often as you do and have a business? You do it well, that's for sure! Your items are just fabulous, and there's nothing like bringing out something special on a silver tray for your guests. I brought out my tea pot on an old silver tray I have and my guests felt extra special. Why not?!

    I'm going to try to take a photo or use an older photo of my blue and white love....you're so kind to accept various styles, humble or regal! Much love, Anita

  13. Dearest Tina,

    You are such a love...in French we say, "Quel amour..."

    My mum died 27 years ago, but poetry unearths the forgotten, the past. Thank you for your visit, your dear friendship, and support. I LOVE to explore words and sentences, and how they move us to thought. Be well, have a great week! Anita

  22. I can't get over all of your goodies. Kristy has the stag tureen in the first images and it is FABULOUS. She uses it on her breakfast room table as the centerpiece with candlesticks on either side and it amazing. So many wonderful pieces, especially with the holidays right around the corner!!
