A Few More New Things
Just a couple snap shots to get your interest....the bench would be great in a mud room or hall, the back is nice a straight.
This pair is so peaceful and has the look and feel of the Hudson Valley.
I posted this last shot because of the colors, but also to show Humphrey's love of the sun. Although he does look a bit annoyed with the furniture arrangement. ( "why do they move everything just when I figure out which chair gets the best light?")
Hope your enjoying the amazing weather!

I Lied.
Yup, I lied.
I said I would post pictures of the rest of the kitchen/bedroom area....however it sold. The dresser,dressing table, mirror set and the hutch, sorry. I sorta wish, I had this problem more often. Don't worry I have some other goodies to share. I went to three auctions in ten days and look what I got!
a FABULOUS shabby table!
a love seat as cute as a tuffet,SOLD 
and a heart back ice cream chair with a velvet cushion.
Many, many other finds, and a millon things to do....so much to post and so little time....so stop by and take a look before more gets away.

Everything Was Coming Up Roses
An independent film crew took over the shop Sunday morning. They shot two scenes for, Anatomy of the Lonely, between seven and eleven in the morning (before the shop opened). Writer/Director; David Winkfield and Cinematographer; Christen Lesperance could not have been any nicer.They worked swiftly and professionally. 
Both scenes they shot in HiHo were to look like a floral shop. They first shot a scene upstairs in the landing, they filled the area with roses. It was a scene where a young man entered the flower shop and met a french girl, who helped him select some roses. 
They then completely took down everything they had set up and did a complete set up at the counter area downstairs. ( best lighting the shop has ever been seen in)
Director, cinematographer, sound man, a production assistant and two actors worked tightly to create what will be a intimate private conversation between two people on film.

and actors, Gabe Molar and Ann-Sophie
A full morning in the middle of a packed weekend. They finished in time. I opened the shop on time and they left me with hundreds of roses. 
Aubrey said it best, when she arrived at the shop and saw the roses. "they put you in such a great mood, the roses are wonderful."
Thanks to David, Christian and their crew for making the experience such a pleasure....and for the roses!! For more information about David go to www.davidwinkfield.com

Early Morning Thoughts
....or should I say ramblings?
It's a little chilly on this Sunday morning. I am held up in my shop office while a crew of young men are chatting above me on the second floor. They are setting up to shoot a scene for their film. A small independent film. They approached me about using the shop as the backdrop for two scenes, well and who I'm I to say no? The timing puts me at work at 7 AM on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Hmmmm, I should have planned this better.
The week has been filled with early mornings and late nights. I'm tired and typing on four and a half hours sleep. Did I say , I'm also optimistic about what the day will bring. It's going to be the most beautiful day. I have a full load of furniture in my truck and the traffic is already headed for the mountain. All good for business.
Sounds like the actors are starting to arrive....I am going to try to get pictures.
Have the most amazing holiday weekend!

WHOLE PEAS & PEPPERS...
....make for a great vegi sundae.
We have gone green. Using canned vegetables as the theme and backdrop for fun in the kitchen.
I decided I wouldn't share wide shots of the room, this way leaving a little mystery. 
Hopefully this will prompt a visit from you soon, to view all the Fall changes....

The Golden Fall Colors Arrive
Spent a full day in the shop on Tuesday, (my day off). I should just say the day the shop is closed to the public.....because it always seems to be open for me to work. ANYWAY.... I continued working on the transformation of the shop from Summer to Fall.
We moved our food line upfront and used this great vintage fixture to showcase the relishes. 
These prints SOLD are not real old , but they are really cool. The burgundy desk is a nice size for a student. Lots more changes to come, so stay tuned.
