Treasures From Afar

I like to think of myself as the sea captain that sails his big old boat of a truck from northern freshwater ports to southern Atlantic ports and finds one of a kind items for Anchor Cottage to sell. 

I tried to veer away from nautical items, in the shop, last year.

With so little space I had to give up something!

Couldn't help myself, down in West Palm, I brought back all my favorite nautical decorations to sell at Anchor Cottage. 

Bedding world was moved to a new spot in the shop. 

It is a little tight for photographing the bed.

It is a pretty little corner though.

Had fun collecting table top pieces. 

Pretty fabric, plates and flowers on the table. 

Crystal nappies are hot hot hot!

A piece here a piece there and it all adds up. 

Three different blue and white finds from three different places along the way.  

Together they make a pretty vignette displayed on your sideboard or in your kitchen hutch. 

The mix of patterns, animals and blues. 

Lobster traps and hemp fenders with a channel marker to boot! 

Quite the collection of home decor for the cottage this summer.

Took me the whole week to set up, display, price and invoice. Saturday's opening was a lot of fun as we were celebrating Dr. Griffiths accomplishment with Rose and lemon cookies all through the day.

Stop by and see the new product in the store with more shipping in every week!

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!
