Canton Valentine

It was Valentine's Day at Canton! Once again we had every type of weather imaginable in the four days we were there. That's Texas for you! Hope everyone who made it out had a good time and found lots of treasures.

We had a little camera trouble, but did manage to get a few pictures. ENJOY!

Cute garden setting with pots, patio furniture, birdbath, and a great flower box.

Ready for Spring!

Wonderful little metal drawer cubby with just the right amount of rusty white paint!

Check out this oversized garden trellis behind the patio sofa! Wouldn't it make a great headboard.....

This is all that's left of the wedding cake toppers.....

This big cabinet was full of ironstone.

Great selection of vintage heart-shaped candy boxes.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Mark your calendar.....

The Antique Elegance Show is February 16-17. Over 60 antique dealers from all over the country and Europe showcase unique and fine quality items, specializing in the Victorian era through the 1940s. It's held at the Richardson Civic Center, 411 W. Arapaho Road in Richardson, Texas (exit #25 Hwy 75/Central Expressway).

Happy New Year!

The first Canton of the new year is officially over. If you came Thursday or Friday then you probably froze! If you waited until the weekend to enjoy the warmer weather then I hope you had something heavy to hang on to -- it was WINDY!! We couldn't even open our doors for fear everything would blow away!

In case you didn't make it by to see us, here are a few pictures from The Veranda for you to enjoy.

Pretty 'Paris apartment' sofa with cane inserts on the arms easily mixes with the rusty garden cart being used as a coffee table.

Lots of chandeliers and lamps dripping in crystals add to the frenchy look.

The vintage typewriter was a big attraction for all the young kids. Guess they had never seen one before.

This pair of comfy arm chairs would look great in a man's den.

Don't they look good with this Victorian black leather tufted chaise!

Closeup of one of the many chandeliers. This one is loaded with crystals!

A little garden area reminds us that Spring is right around the corner.

Perfect size creamy white loveseat would fit in almost any room.

Another hint of Spring....

Check out this great ironstone tray that once sat on some vintage scales.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008!

Our wish to you.....

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Canton in December

It's Christmas at The Veranda! It might not be snowing, but we decorated like it was a winter wonderland. White trees, pale blues, lots of gold and silver! Hope you can make it out to see us this time. Enjoy the pictures!

Love the iron bed all dressed in white linens! The gold mirror at the back reflects the little chandelier hanging overhead. Snuggle in and dream of a white Christmas

What do you get when you mix a big lampshade, a few glittery ornaments, & some ribbon?

A BELL!

A great wrought iron patio set with cushions in the best blue ever! There is a couch and a pair of matching chairs.

A fantastic lamp just dripping with crystal prisms next to a group of old clocks. The big black one is an old time clock. The little pink one and the square green one sold right after this picture was taken.

Snowy white concrete swan that would look great in your garden. Looks good here filled with vintage Christmas tree branches and gold glass beads.

Vintage baby doll nestled in a stack of frames! Great idea!

Pale blue and cream brocade couch. Love the 'sold' tag!

These charm necklaces make great gifts! And they are all double-sided -- like getting two for one!

This vintage 'glamour' shot looks great displayed by the candelabra. There's a bowl of mercury glass ornaments ready to hang on the tree.

Little creamy feather tree decorated with gold ornaments and a white reindeer tree topper.

The absolute most fabulous concrete table with metal banding around the top. Another one of those lovely 'sold tags!

Hope you enjoyed the virtual tour! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
