Up, up and away...............


We took a little time to celebrate the opening of the new addition at SuzAnna's Antiques yesterday morning........coffee and pastry, camaraderie and laughs as Vanessa and I added more items to our booth. All the other booths surrounding us are now filled with awesome things, and yes I did a little shopping of my own, hard not to!

Hammered nails and hung things, stacked and rearranged, trying to make everything visible without looking cluttered.


The art of display will be learned as we go.............


................and we'll be ready with new finds to bring in when these treasures are given new homes. 


Since this pic was taken, my antique chair with velvet cushion, and Vanessa's very pretty metal with crystals balloon, perfect for a little girl's room, have been hung from the ceiling..............we can utilize every square inch of space within our booth, up, down and sideways!


Even DH got involved yesterday, hauling heavier items into the booth.......and he thought our space was looking really nice.


...............and so our old metal and tarnished silver, linens, white and transfer ware china, books and jewelery, along with a mix of art, mirrors and decorative pretties, await new homes.  Hope YOU can stop by SuzAnna's day day soon and enjoy our booth and all the others now loaded with treasure.............


...........and yes, I do have one of the French sconces for sale too ~ an amazingly beautiful piece.  With the weather due to start cooling this coming weekend, at long last, it will be a great time to go treasure hunting in North Carolina.

  18. I hope your new venture is a success, your booth looks very appealing. If I lived nearer I'd be buying that pretty Country Diary plate. I've loved The Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady ever since it was first published.
