The Estate of things

Much like some former Domino staffers and stylists, I too like to corral my matches in a sweet little cup,

As promised, lots of fresh stuff added to the Estate Sale this week and there’s more to come, be sure and take a spin.

This chic little accessory recently added to the shop needs little introduction,

Take a cue from Lisa and make it a part of your table top vignette,

A Bloomsbury Life

Coming to an open shelf near you is this adorable vintage glass chicken,

available in our Etsy shop, the Estate Sale

I think she would love to nest somewhere like this,

We made a quick trip to the flea market at the NC Fairgrounds in Raleigh last weekend. Here are some of the sights,

My Mom took this bird home, its from the 1970s but looks much older, reminded me of folk art

Big metal storage bin, great for a kid’s room

I love these Golden Book illustrated dictionaries, I’d like to collect the whole set

Beautiful colors on the cover of this children’s book Animal Stories, unfortunately the book was pretty abused and was falling apart

Pretty egg cups, these might make an appearance in the Estate Sale shop,

Our Etsy shop, the Estate Sale has several fresh new items added and among them is this elegant Gorham silver plated bowl,

There are so many uses for this bowl around the house–put it at your entry to corral your mail or keys, put fruit in it, put it on the bookshelf or on the sideboard.

I just spotted one sitting on a coffee table in a Nantucket beach cottage in Coastal Living,

One of our readers Amy emailed me and sent a link from Craigslist for the chairs I wanted from the Mary McDonald living room,

Amy, could they be more spot on?!? and it’s a pair which is exactly what I need. The downside they are 5 hours away in D.C.

Picture me fallen to my knees, in the rain, screaming wwhhhyyyyyyyy. Thank you Amy!

I added this sweet little painting to the Etsy shop, the Estate Sale,

 

It reminded me of the “Coming Up Roses” feature in Lonny’s March/April Issue,

and PS, that Violet Chintz fabric has been stuck in my head and I couldn’t figure out where I had seen it, does that happen to you? You see something, forget to bookmark it and then it bugs you until you find it again (if you’re lucky)

My vintage club chair reuholstered in linen bears a striking resemblance to,

Here’s where they differ the new Dwell Studio Turner chair is about $990.00. My pair of chairs cost a total of $700 which includes two chairs, linen fabric and reupholstering. These kinds of things make me feel good.

Fresh inventory at the Etsy shop, the Estate Sale,

Maybe you’re more of a ceramic person,
 

Spotted the partridge bedside in the new Dwell Studio catalog,

 

I recently added this antique felt New York pennant to our Etsy shop, the Estate Sale,

Wouldn’t it look great mixed in with a photo gallery wall like this,

remember this was a dorm room on design steroids, don’t know source.

Or you could drape it in a display cabinet among other mementos, just a thought.

I’ve had New York on the brain lately because I’ve been listening to Alicia Keys’ Empire State of Mind…I know the song was released in like 2009.
