Final Touches on the entryway, or not....

Horse or flowers? To moustache or not to moustache? We thought we figured it out, but now we need a vote! While cleaning up I peeked out the window to see how the plants were doing and much to my surprise these amazing bursts or white and pink peonies were hanging out. I immediately snipped some and now I want to show them off. Flowers + horse do not look good together. Thoughts on how to make this space look more coordinated?

The Wallpaper Crush Continues

Upon the discovery of that lovely fern wallpaper, we dug deeper into hermitage (cross fingers the url is working) and discovered a slew of wallpaper too delicious not to consider. Amazing selection of children's wallpaper (hey! we are proactive...), kitchen bedroom, office, hallways....let's just say our brains are spinning. The office wallpaper is now final....now what to do about eveything else? Take a peek below and see what are minds are all batty about!

Antiques and Fleas

We are so over the moon excited to go to Elephant's Trunk this weekend! A friend of mine told us about it in November (It closes end of November) and we never made it! Now we are totally prepared - renting a van and getting there early! If you live in the tri-state of area, and you don't know about this wonderful antique market, read on!

As one walks down the many aisles of The Elephant's Trunk, one can view a variety of merchandise. This merchandise includes glassware, health products, vintage and new tools, vintage clothing, coins, decoys, old and new books, shrubs, plants, flowers, garden ornaments, cassette and videotapes, CD's, rugs, antique toys, collectibles, antique furniture, Depression glass, jewelry, pewter, electronic equipment, new and second-hand clothing, garden supplies, dried flowers, old bottles, craft items, hair accessories, baseball cards, toys, outdoor tents, weather vanes, art deco items, and a variety of other merchandise! Vendors who deal in counterfeit/knock-off merchandise are not permitted to sell here!

The seasons are a special time at The Elephant's Trunk. Springtime brings a variety of plants, shrubs, and flowers, while autumn brings cider, apples, pumpkins, dried ears if corn, and mums. Fresh vegetables like tomatoes, corn, beans, and many others are plentiful from May through September. Late November to early December brings wreaths, roping, and holiday decorations.

Approximately 60% of the merchandise is antiques and collectibles, 10% is household, 10% is new items, and 20% is a mixture of items.
