Camp and cottage

Wouldn’t this look really sweet on your camp or cottage back porch ?

A darling old fishing chair with a great patina, a camp lamp with a fireplace that lights up and its two candleholders and a handy black shelf!

Bethany’s Beauceware

Bethany fell in love with a sweet piece of vintage Beauceware pottery from Quebec.

And when she sent us this picture of the piece in her home, we could easily see why.

The Beauceware pottery looks right at home with all of Bethany’s colours and right beside the vintage Marilyn Monroe postcard.

Thanks for allowing us to post, Bethany!

Colour, colour and colour!

It was just wonderful to hear Kaffe Fassett talk last night in Sandy Cove about colour and design inspiration.

I took this photo in our shop this morning thinking of all the colours and how happy they make us all.

Fabulous chrome table and chairs

Isn’t this gorgeous ?

It’s a fabulous colour of green and white and black and we love the double row of chrome with the balls in between. The table is in perfect vintage condition.

We have four chairs to go with it. One is in great condition, one is faded and the two others have tears. They can all be redone – or pair it with the Windsor chairs we also have for sale ($60 each).

Chrome table and four chairs $675

An outstanding chrome table.  Beautiful shape and colour. It comes with four chairs.  One is great condition, one faded and two with tears.  Really gorgeous! $475 set.

Vintage upholstered armchair

Way back in 1993, I was living in France.

This chair belonging to my mother in law was destined for destruction. I rescued it and upholstered it. It comes with two feather filled pillows.

It’s very comfy and would be great in a corner of any room!

“Maritime Rose” Spode china

“Maritime Rose” is one of my most favourite Spode patterns.  Manufactured from the mid-50s to the early 70s, its beautiful violet blue colour and hand painted roses make it very collectible.

These pieces belonged to a lovely woman who liked to entertain and did so frequently, so this is all that’s left of her set of dishes, which came to me 20 years ago. The sugar bowl, creamer, water jug, tea cup, saucers and cake plates are all perfect. The teapot has a line crack and a chip at the end of the spout, the salad plate has a tiny flaw, and one of the butter pats has discolouration to the gold trim, but they are still pretty and perfectly useable.

“Maritime Rose” pieces now fetch high prices on replacement china pattern sites. If you collect this, you know what I mean!  Our prices are very reasonable.
