This year a gigantic present appeared “under our tree” in the form of a 40 foot container filled with French antique furniture, arriving the day before Christmas Eve. As we opened it, wonderful antiques of all shapes and sizes sprang forth ~ an amazing assortment of antique furniture, antique lighting, antique accessories of all kinds, antique paintings and gorgeous antique mirrors. The excitement was infectious as we all pitched in, opening what seemed like a million boxes; there were lots of accessories on this one! It is always exiting that after a month of shopping, gathering and packing, we finally see the fruits of our efforts appear in our warehouses. Of course our job doesn’t stop at this point… After admiring anew our exiting wares we begin the laborious processes of tagging, cleaning, waxing and refurbishing antique lighting, antique accessories and antique furniture from abroad.
We were so happy the shipment arrived just in time for our clients, who bought on line to be able to get their gift purchases in time for Christmas. So, after all the hustle and bustle mentioned above, we then got busy wrapping, delivering and shipping. We are so blessed to be a part of our friends’ and clients’ holiday celebrations! This time of the year our showrooms literally glow with excitement!
2011 has been a great year for Inessa Stewart’s Antiques & Interiors, and we want to thank everybody that helped us with our growth and success. This very blog was launched this year and we thank all of those who encouraged us to do more in our writing about all things antique, plus motivating us on this creative endeavor.
May 2012 bring success to all your endeavors, and inspire us as we venture new pursuits.
We wish all the Happiest New Year and are looking forward to seeing each of you soon!
All our love, Inessa, John and Rebecca.
