The Antique Show Must Go On!

Antique French EngravingHello everyone! I love this time of the year; summer is on the way and a lot of new adventures are on our horizon. This month we are particularly busy with huge Wholesale Market events in both of our showrooms. We are all abuzz setting up an enormous booth at the Dallas Market Center with the show scheduled for June 19-22, which I find an extremely fun task. Designing the venue, sourcing architectural elements, and creating an elaborate layout ~this show is FOUR times the size of our previous space ~ are all quite challenging yet rewarding.

With all the preparations that we usually have to do when getting ready for new shipments soon to arrive from Europe, our summer has already started at a bustling pace. Before the shipments even arrive, we are making room for new arrivals ~ I know you’ve no doubt seen our amazing deals with our new Antiques Bargain Brocante specials. I will have more super steals and deals coming up, so stay tuned…

As we are packing for the show, we will also be unpacking boxes of antique accessories, paintings, mirrors, and, of course, furniture. On this shipment there are over FIFTY BOXES and over 600 items! If anyone wants to come by to help, we are looking for volunteers! (Just kidding!)

Antiques in Style is a source of joy for me to create, and hopefully will be a source of inspiration for you! The variety, artistry and history of the antiques and vintage pieces that surround us every day provide pleasure, beauty and sometimes even intrigue.

The classics never go out of style, and each era, country, and even artisan's interpretations create an environment that is always full of surprises.

It is truly a pleasure to bring such timeless style together for every client and follower of my blog. And of course, your input is always welcome!
