Antiquing Weekend - Open for Business Part I -


               REVIVAL ANTIQUES


The glorious weekend weather fired up my 'treasure hunting' gene and off I went to REVIVAL ANTIQUES with granddaughter and husband on Sunday afternoon. Due to COVID it had been such a long time since visiting one of our favorite spots, and even now they are just open on the weekends......masks were still required and a limited number of shoppers in the store at one time which we were comfortable with.
 

Jasmin and I fell in love with so many 'smalls - we weren't looking for furniture
 this time around. I brought home this set of attached/moveable bud vases
which will be such fun for single stems.


Another find for me was the metal holder with three good sized cream
 pottery pots - yes they have moved onto my Welsh dresser in the
 dining room.........I'll share what they are holding soon.


I didn't bring home the truly lovely set of delicately colored cordial/liqueur
 glasses. . . . . but admit to being tempted!


Revival is known for its excellent paint finishes on the antique and vintage
wood furniture pieces sourced mostly from the northeast states.
They offer these pieces for sale 'as is' or refinished in your choice of color.

More next time - botanical framed prints I purchased, and then a stop
 at a second place where I bought something special for the garden!

  1. Now I am intrigued as to what this something special for the garden might be!
    It looks a wonderful place for browsing, and must be so nice to get the chance for outings like that again.

  2. Places like that are so refreshing to spend time in and inspiring to wander through. Much better than any big box store. Always such lovely, unique treasures to be found.

  7. I do like rummaging in antique shops - the problem is that I buy too much! near where I live there is a lovely small town that specialises in craft and antique shops - it is always such a fun day out - as are auctions, but I go to those only very rarely because Jane is convinced I will bid on too many items - she's right, of course!

  8. Ooh, that place looks delightful! Love the things you bought, plus the lamp in the photo squares and that black dresser. Glad things are opening back up where you live. Everything here has been fully open for a little while now.

  10. Mary, it looks like you had a really nice adventure to the antique shop! It does truly feel good to be able to venture out a bit. I went with my daughter, Jenny to a shop not too long ago and it was fabulous to get out and look at treasures again!

  14. I think my favorite is the row of bottles for buds from the garden. How fun to walk in your garden and replenish it each day.
