Treasures Along The Atlantic Seaboard

Standing in a very pleasant shop...

...I opened this book and what did I fine? Low Country Chairs all in a line!

French Fermob Bistro chairs, in tangerine that I adore, I have them in my garden right outside my door. 

Sitting across a desk in West Palm I spied this brass lantern from Belfast, I wrote the check! 

North Carolina pottery with the prettiest glazes made their way to the freshwater coast. 

Junk shop finds, everyone needs a book on Good Luck...

...and a little industrial spying brought bits and pieces of inspiration home to the shop.

Never know what you will find when you can take five minuets of your time and just look around you. Seriously, I mean put your glasses on...lol. Had fun going into small shops, along the way, to see what other shop keepers sell to their customers.

So Many Good Found Items!

Scored on colored glass this buying trip.

Loved all the colors.

Spring fabrics.

Blues and whites.

All the props that make a home.

I just love mixing the "Found" items with the new product in the shop. Helps to create an eclectic, layered look for your home. Working toward an opening date, have to get the wallpaper hung first. Hope I bought enough rolls!

Waiting In Line!

Every year I have product lined up on the dining table, waiting to be hauled to the shop. The accumulation of hand picked pieces, all winter long, add up. 

Great big channel markers and woven fenders... 

Teak mats and a lobster trap!

Favorite amber red net float...hmm how about making it into a lighting fixture.

Brought back a large yellow float for a customer, if she is reading this blog!!

Have a cozy weekend, fire in the fireplace, a good book to finish and Sunday dinner!
