    Victorian Thanksgiving Decor

    We have the Victorians to thank for our modern day Thanksgivings! These folks had great taste in Thanksgiving decor. Communities across the country had carried out their own Thanksgiving celebrations since the 1600s.  But there wasn't a unified American Thanksgiving until Abraham Lincoln's presidential proclamation in 1863 called for an official Thanksgiving Day in all states.  The traditions established in...

    Tasty Treats on the Road in Europe

    We had some very tasty treats while we were on the road in France, Belgium and England on our big European antiques buying trip last summer. We did a lot of driving around hunting for antique furniture and vintage chandeliers and we kept our strength up with all kinds of delicious food.  The antiques we bought are now arriving in...

    Newberry Oktoberfest takes to the streets on the first Saturday of every October, which means that for 2017, we are celebrating Oktoberfest on October 7. I’ve said before that I think Newberry Oktoberfest is the best in the whole of South Carolina and I took some photos last year to show you that I'm right! Or come and visit us...

    Things We Love: German Christmas Markets

    One of the things I miss the most about living in Germany, especially at this time of year, is browsing around the Christmas markets, or Weihnachtsmarkte, that are found in big cities and small towns across Germany. You may have even heard of the most famous Christmas markets in Nurnberg or Munich, but my favorite Christmas market is in Cologne...

    Traditional Old Country Soups to Warm You Up

    I just found out that January is National Soup Month. I don't know how I missed that before but maybe this is the perfect timing to talk about soup as folks are still digging themselves out from Winter Storm Jonas and it's still so cold over much of the country. As we are into the final season of Downton Abbey...

    Bookshelf: Tales of Traditional French Cooking

    I know that many customers who appreciate our fine French antique furniture also enjoy French food and lifestyle. As the holidays are upon us, I thought you might like to see some recently published books about French cooking by American expats who are living the French lifestyle. They'll make great stocking stuffers for the Francophiles in your life. You could...

    Easter Table Decor

    With Easter approaching I've been looking for some Easter table decor inspiration. After the long hard winter that many people have endured this year, it's so uplifting to see traditional Easter table settings with all their color and pretty floral arrangements and even chicks and bunnies. The design on these sweet hand-painted Easter eggs would be easy for anyone with...
