New Stock

The entirety of my weekend before last was spent hunting for a Wii Fit board (who knew they were still popular?), and upgrading home electronics in preparation for Awards Season, the Winter Olympics, & NYC housewives. Which was good... and bad. I may have been procrastinating. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's, I'd travelled up and down the East Coast accumulating a garage-full of wonderful things for my tiny space at Sleepy Poet Antiques in Charlotte. Those pieces were overtaking my dining room, bedroom, hallway & kitchen.  So this 3-day weekend went something like this; pack the SUV, drive across town, unpack the SUV, merchandise the new lovelies, drive back across town, repeat.

Although it had been looking a bit peckish, estate is once again full of some really fabulous things (and still more to come).  Visit!

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

This wonderful gilded gesso mirror found at auction will be @ estate in the new year...

What a Day

The results of a long, hard day on the trail in Vermont & New Hampshire.  Mom took me to wonderful places full of dust and debris, and we uncovered some fabulous finds -- vintage Limoges, ironstone, apothecary bottles, out-of-print books...

All will find their way to estate @ Sleepy Poet Antiques over the next few weeks.

Busy Busy Busy

After months scouring the Northeast & Southeast for great pieces (and taking a break from blogging), I've finally moved into my new space. Be sure to stop by Sleepy Poet Antiques the next time you're in Charlotte to see 55,000 square feet of fabulous finds from hundreds of dealers + me!
