Hello and good Sunday morning to you!  At long last the day of relaxation I have been craving and desperately dreaming of. I have in one week……. gone on two design job calls, been to Greenwich THREE times in 5 days, bought a truckload of blue and white and silver and all kinds of other goodies, had a house guest, went to two Halloween parties, attended an all day Junior League showhouse in the city, unpacked umpteen boxes of new goodies/deliveries, packed up dozens of orders to ship, went to a dinner party, a night football game, a friends birthday dinner…..ALL in one week.

I am wiped. It was all good things but too much for this 40 something year old. I am so excited to be home today, resting my feet up and just ecstatic over having to do nothing! I look forward to playing catch up with many of my favorite blogging friends, working on my blue and white contest post….past 100 entries now and let me tell you they are stupendous!! Keep em coming, going to divide them into two posts……..two much beauty for one post:)

Brace yourself……I really hit the motherload. A vendor whose things are uber gorgeous and whose wares are sold in the finest stores all over the county is after many many years closing his warehouse and  relocating. So he called me about purchasing a bunch of samples and boy did I hit the jackpot. Some things I only have 2 or 3 of, and almost all I am keeping one of for myself. A few items I have more of. Everything here is being sold at a significantly discounted price. These are very special unique, old world accessories, the likes of which unfortunately you do not see very often anymore, sadly.  I also brought back a few steals and deals yesterday, that were previously sold out items. They are at the bottom of this post. So let’s get busy……

I apologize for the poor quality of some of these pictures!! I have a camera that’s on its last leg and in need of a replacement and soon! (most welcome to any user friendly non complicated camera recommendations)

Hi Tina, what an amazing assortment of finds. I am in love with so many, I lost count. Great ideas for Christmas gifts here. I will email you, hope you enjoy your day of rest. We all need a “day off”. Love your blog!

Tina, Everything is fabulous. My son and daughter-in-law received the stag tray and a huge matching punch bowl as a wedding gift. Both pieces are gorgeous! I am sending her this post to see if she would like any of the matching pieces.
Hugs,
Sherry

Love love love all your items. Just sent an email with an order.

Take Care

Tina I cannot get over how beautiful everything is! So nice to know things like this are still made. Such quality and beautiful classics. I would love to have the pheasant plates and stag pieces. I am going to email you, your taste is superb!

Tina,

I just bought the large pheasants on ebay UK for way too much! I should have KNOWN you would have them!
You have such impeccable taste, my friend. I loved scrolling down and looking at all the lovely Fall pieces.
Did you dress up for your Halloween parties? What did you masquerade as?
Try to relax and enjoy your day.

Tina I could make my Christmas list out of this post alone! Love so many things…don’t even know where to begin! I love your taste, do you have a brick and mortar store too or just an online shop? Anything I have gotten from you I have been so happy with! Love my cape, bag and my blue and white plates.

So glad to see so much blue and white. It rules when it comes to table, room, or home decor setting. Sounds like this year has been a huge success with your store and other creative endeavors…cheers!
Keep your feet up today and jot down lots of ideas on your iPhone and remember the best camera is the one your always have with you…again your iPhone!
Getting ready for a busy holiday season…love it!

GOOD MORNING TINA! Wow did you have a wild week! How in the world do you manage a manor, blog as often as you do and have a business? You do it well, that’s for sure! Your items are just fabulous, and there’s nothing like bringing out something special on a silver tray for your guests. I brought out my tea pot on an old silver tray I have and my guests felt extra special. Why not?!

I’m going to try to take a photo or use an older photo of my blue and white love….you’re so kind to accept various styles, humble or regal! Much love, Anita

Hi Tina…that schedule would wipe anyone out!! Glad you made it to Greenwich, though!! Love your latest goodies!

I hope you are enjoying your PJ day…I had one of those yesterday – my husband even went grocery shopping and cooked dinner (and that is a truly rare event).

xoxo

Good afternoon Tina,

I thought I had a crazy, busy week but you outpaced me by about ten activities! I am worn out and resting today, hopefully you are still is your omfy lot he’s, feet up, reading and relaxing.

I love all of your beautiful new items, all would be fabulous for the upcoming holidays!

I am looking forward to all of the blue and white photos! I love the look but do not have any in my own house.

Take care and enjoy your day, Elizabeth

Dearest Tina,

You are such a love…in French we say, “Quel amour…”

My mum died 27 years ago, but poetry unearths the forgotten, the past. Thank you for your visit, your dear friendship, and support. I LOVE to explore words and sentences, and how they move us to thought. Be well, have a great week! Anita

Tina you sound busier than me…and my husband thinks I am overloaded. Glad you got a day of rest, sounds much needed. See 10 things or more I want to own! Love it all, so nice to see beautiful traditional accessories, I don’t like what I am seeing in the stores, just emailed you and hope there are some left!

Wow very entertaining post. Ive notice that there are many
Cheap 1300 Numbers
that giving to a business to give them many clients. Most busineses are using smart numbers to easily remember by their clients most especially in renting and selling houses.

Oh, sweetie… this is just amazing! I love everything, but those clocks are just incredible! The price is perfect too!!!

Have a blessed week, Tina.

so much love to you!!!

I can’t get over all of your goodies. Kristy has the stag tureen in the first images and it is FABULOUS. She uses it on her breakfast room table as the centerpiece with candlesticks on either side and it amazing. So many wonderful pieces, especially with the holidays right around the corner!!

Wow, you’ve been a busy girl. Everything looks fantastic, but my favorite has to be the pumpkin tureen. Adorable. Happy Monday, Tina! XO

Good gravy, you’ve been busy! I’m exhausted just reading all you’ve done. And, I had to smile b/c if you’ve been to Greenwich, you’ve been within 1/4 mile of my house 3 times this week! 🙂

Love all the goodies you got and looking forward to receiving mine! Get some rest this week….you deserve it!
xoxo Elizabeth
