Need shipping?

Hey there! My beloved shipper Jackie will be here the week of Christmas to pick up an item headed to Seattle. Her trip will take her to the south then through Texas/AZ/SoCal and north to the NW. if you are looking for something and in that area, reach out now so I can get you a quote and secure space on her trip,

Manny, my localish East of the Mississippi shipper is headed south and to the Midwest shortly. If you are in OH/CHICAGO/WI AREAS this trip is for you! Reach out now so I can get you a price and reserve your space!

*** I take deposits to hold your item with balance plus shipping due prior to shipping. Shipping rates are up right now due to gas and other expenses being very high. I collect your shipping and pay cash on pick up as a courtesy to save you money when I can use a shipper I know. We are cutting out the middle man (uShip) this way. Our shippers work hard for us and saving them some fees is always worth it!

Don’t get shut out! Things are leaving fast right now! I don’t have any commited purchases in the pipeline right now but I do have some project pieces I can get working on and would like to anyway as I have a window between now and February before I take on a 3rd survey in my census job which will give me more hours.

The Platner dining table base will get to the powder coater this week as I dropped it off with my friend yesterday who will be taking it! As soon as I get it back, in beautiful gloss white, I will get picks of the complete table and list it. The orange formica top with custom wood trim (could be oak or walnut) is 60” and can seat 8. The wood was installed but never finished so I took care of that. If you would like to be first to get info on it, feel free to reach out!

I am running my ozone generator in the garage frequently working on the leather cushions on the Tobia Scarpa Bastiano lounge chair. I have refinished the wood frame with Rubio Monocoat, a superb, LEEDS compliant oil finish. It looks fantastic! I have some more to do on it and will get to work. It’s not 100% but it is definitely in good enough shape to use and the leather is not too bad off showing some stains and light scuffs but overall not abused. There is also a mystery with this chair I have been trying to crack. The model was first made by Gavina in Italy and when Knoll purchased them, they got the rights to make this chair. My chair is made differently than current production chairs in that the leather is wrapping the seat frame. And the wood frame attaches directly to the seat frame. Is this how Gavina did it and Knoll reinvented the wheel when production shifted to the US? Why am I not finding others like mine? I am even checking the European boards. Was this man developing the current iteration for production and this a sample? So many questions! His son has 2 other Scarpa pieces and I want to see them and how they are made. Perhaps the clues lie in that or the metal frame with a label: Sleep-Comfort Lebanon. Although we are relatively close to Lebanon, PA…..there is a Sleep Comfort in Lebanon the country. This may also be a clue that this was a European production. The mystery continues!

I will keep working through my backstock! Make sure you check out my exclusive gift items here on my website or locally at my retail spaces! I do have some cool mcm themed stocking stuffers including the Eames Dopp kits, house of cards notepads and my custom pillow covers from those great vintage fabrics!

Ho Ho Holiday!

Wanted to shoot out a quick update to put some ideas in your head and mine! I typically throw a gift with purchase in packages that go out in the holiday season. This year, I have much less small items listed as I have moved many to my retail space at 50% off. Pretty sure most of my online customers are not even aware of my promotion and I have rarely gotten a message that they noticed. Was thinking of discontinuing the practice this year. I always send gifts to furniture buyers and that will not stop! I put lots of thought into my gifts and hope they bring a smile. I do want to travel to my wholesaler and see what they have available but making no promises. If you have received one of my holiday gifts with purchase and want to drop me a line to tell me how much you enjoyed it, I may reconsider! Ha. That said……I have been moving some large items and I do not see that stopping. I am available THIS WEEKEND for deliveries if you need something for the holiday. From an amazing set of folding chairs to a gorgeous dining table to restored chairs and a couch, I can get you hooked up and cozy before your guests arrive! Willing to travel throughout the mid Atlantic region to make it happen. As always, nominal fee for delivery based on distance/tolls. Hiring me is always cheaper than hiring a shipper and you do get better service. 🥰. Speaking of shipping, Chairish will probably be moving slow and I would not count on receiving any shipped furniture item before Christmas. Not to discourage you, but give you realistic expectations. They are offering amazing shipping rates around the country and you can get an instant price in my shop when you add the item to your cart. Please take advantage of this! Shippers are charging high rates right now because of gas and expenses. Chairish is definitely taking a beating on the shipping but it is saving you money. Until they change something, go for it! My Chairish shop will be 20% off from Nov 21st- 26th. Do not wait! You can send me an offer and claim that discount early. I will take it. Please have a look around and grab it before it’s advertised nationally. I would love to send some more of my beautiful collection out before the end of the year! I worked really hard to bring these awesome items to the market and am very proud to have a great selection. It’s the largest furniture stash I have had since I started my business 7 years ago.

This video (click below to open in browser if in email) gives a look at some awesome new gifts waiting for you in my first floor space at Fleetwood Antique Mall! Some items are also available on my website and in my Etsy shop. Grab some great gifts today! Thank you for shipping small and local! Open 10-6 WED-SUN, closed on Thanksgiving. Stay tuned to my social media for last minute sales!

I am giving thanks to all my customers and friends for supporting my business over the years! I have built up a great little side gig and I love what I do, from picking it up, cleaning it and listing to planning your shipping or bringing it to your home! It’s a process and one that I adore. I meet the best people and you all feel like family! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and enjoy your Thanksgiving! 🦃 I will shoot an update if I run any other sales before Christmas.

Greetings!
For the first time in over a year I have had a bit of a break from deliveries and quick sales. I am ok with that as I was just trained for 2 new surveys and have been getting paid to work! I have, however, been adding to my inventory and helping some folks downsize their homes. I am still working to get everything listed and ready to go. I just brought home more Danish and Swedish pieces than I ever had! If you love Rosewood and Teak, I have some awesome pieces to show you! So many goodies including dining! Here’s what’s live so far.
