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!
