Parisian Hideaway Treasures go to new Homes!

We just finished our Parisian Hideaway event!  Many customers went home with new treasures for their own little castles and cottages!  It was a crazy first day with the hideaway filled with our customers.  Here's the way the store looked when we opened-

 fresh peonies in the foyer compote

 

gorgeous taffeta drapes

 

 The ladies salon as we first opened the doors

 I adore these zebra print chairs that my upholstery guy delivered the morning of the opening.

 

Here's a picture of the same area 2 hours later!

missing many things but still looking good! 

Candy did a great job of continually re working the displays as things sold!

 

customers were over joyed with their finds!

 

A large fresh glamelia made by Twigs laying  on the dining table by the Eiffel Tower

candelabras filled the small dining table in the nook by the door.

 

 

Vintage clothing and jewelry- very popular place in the hideaway!

 

The bistro- these two statues went to a new home very early in the day!~

 

Sold every set of champagne coupes that we had! 

second day for the glamelia- still so beautiful- each petal was separately wired and formed into the large blossom.

Many thanks to our loyal customers that made this event so successful!  We are planning another one for the end of June.  Stay tuned for the dates! 



Another Peak into the Parisian Hideaway!

Next Friday and Saturday, May 10th and 11th, from 10 am to 3 pm, we will have our first shopping event since we closed our traditional retail store.

The most unusual pickle jar I have ever found!  Perfect and pretty piece

 to keep dog treats on the counter!

 Pair of cut crystal oval shaped compotes

 Set of three old glass bottles in brass carrying basket-  would be great to be olive oil and vinegars by the stove!

love using these old tea pots for flowers

 A few more pieces with that divine fuchsia color
