Undiscovered Shop of the Day: Dream

On July 6, 2010 this brand new Etsy shop debuted. Dream appears to be developing into a shop that is inspired by vintage romance, with a European flair. Upon visiting this San Mateo natives website, it becomes very clear that this veteran antique dealer has an eye for all things French. 

As soon as I laid eyes on the stunning chandelier pictured below, I knew Stacey Rhodes' new shop absolutely needed to be my undiscovered shop of the day. Dream certainly won't be undiscovered for very long! Her amazing inventory can be seen at www.dreaminparis.com and hopefully soon on Etsy as well. 

Treasury Tuesday: For All of the Lace Lovers Out There

I finally got my first treasury after quite a few disappointing misses. It's funny how your children always know when you're about to do something that doesn't involve them being the center of the universe. Today, the house was quiet as the treasury opened. At last, I have a place to show off some of my favorite lacy lovelies.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

It's Been A While....

Life has been a bit crazy these past few weeks and unfortunately I let my new blog fall to the wayside. There are so many things I would love to share with everyone and I'm sure I'll get to all of it eventually.

Spring Brimfield is only 14 days away, yeah!!!!!! This is my favorite antique show of the year and as it will be my last until who knows when, I'm enjoying the anticipation even more. I hate to give it up, but with baby # 2 arriving in Aug. I won't be able to attend for the rest of the season. So, I guess I'll have to really make this one count.

For those of you who have never visited the Brimfield Antique Show, it is the largest antique show in the country, boasting over 4000 vendors. This amazing show takes place 3 times a year (May, August and September) in a sleepy little town in MA. You can find all the information you need at http://brimfieldexchange.com/index.asp. Hopefully I'll have time to upload some photos while I'm there so you can all share in the experience. It is truly an amazing place to be, whith shoppers and vendors from all over the world.

If you plan on attending, visit me on the main driveway at Shelton's. Our opening is Tues. May 12th at 6AM.

I guess that's all for today, work is calling.

The First Post From My Home to Yours

Well, here I go...

My name is Courtney McCabe. First and formost I am a mother to my beautiful daughter Katherine. I also run a small business out of my home selling vintage and antique textiles. It has been a passion of mine for over 10 years. I began shortly after college and never looked back.

My blog will be dedicated to sharing my knowledge of antiques and where to buy them, fabulous finds I make, friends and antiques dealers from all over the country and promoting my new on-line business. (Talk about a run on sentence, whoo. Sorry!) All this while raising a soon to be expanding family.

I guess that all for now., Kate's nap time has come to an end. I hope you enjoy what I have to say in the future.

Wishing all of my friends in Round Top a great show. WishI could be there with you.
