This antiquing trip I'm about to share, took place 3 weeks ago. I love this store. It is one of my favorite places to go if I am searching for something truly special. The dealers are wonderful and each one of them has an incredible sense of style. Each space is a mini-world, but there is a lovely flow throughout the store. You want to dream and meander about this lovely place for hours.
This was a ghosted mirror right at the entryway. It was beautiful in its peeling and decrepit state. 
This hand painted bed was too gorgeous for words
At the front desk you will always find a beautiful flower arrangement. This one is amazing.
A beautiful antique chandelier, dripping with crystals!
I have always dreamed of owning a table like this. I'll have to keep dreaming for now.
I had to shut my eyes tight and keep walking when I saw this baby. Isn't she beautiful!
I loved the spring theme they had throughout the store. There were flowers every where.
Even the chandeliers had flowers
The walls were adorned with oil paintings of flowers
This was a metal tole flower decoration. Lovely!
I found these sunflowers upstairs.
I have a confession to make. I am completely addicted to antique chairs. My dream is to own a pair of French bergere chairs with down cushions. . . someday . . .
This delicate vase is a wonderful example of French antique porcelain
Could it be Marie? I think she looks more like Madame de Lamballe.
Small teacups artfully displayed.
Anyone need a violin?
An intriguing mix of of things
This next display was my favorite, though it was a little strange. These headless dolls were adorable with the flowers in them. This is a great idea for all those headless dolls you may own. ;~)
The view as I left
Can you see how much the light has changed? I was wandering for quite sometime, lost in the history of these beautiful items. I hope you enjoyed!

Can I just live there? It's such an incredible place Nancy! I'd want everything and could only afford to look. Thanks for the decorating day dream, it was heavenly!

I like to go on antique trips myself, but of course there isn't always the opportunity, so its so good that you took me by the hand an led me throught this antiques paradise. Thanks! I don't have headless dolls, and I will not change mine into....
Oh my what a wonderful shop. I love the mannequin.

Oh thanks for sharing this antiquing trip with us. What wonderful things and such a beautiful shop.
I especially like the doll with flowers for heads.
This was a fun trip. Thanks again and thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on the burl wood. You know I really wanted to go into that tree house myself!

Oh, Nancy I am not sure about the headless dolls.

Wow Nancy,

It has been tooooo long since I've visited and what a fun post this was. What a lovely store! So artfully arranged! Thank you for the lovely tour, Sweet Nancy!
My first time here and I must say that I'm a tad overwhelmed (in a most profoundly grand way)!
Swooning! Love all of these photos.

Nancy,
What a beautiful store. I'm not sure which item I liked the best, but one thing I know for sure ~ you will have the bergere chairs one day!
I would love to know where this is if you're willing to share so when I travel that way, I can dream as well!
Oh yes, I need a violin...
xo~Tracie
What a wonderful store! I would surely lose myself in there! ::Jill
Hello Nancy,
You left a comment on my blog and your avatar is sooo beautiful that i had to go and look at your blog too, and then I realized i've been here before and love your photos and words. and that photo of the peeling and decrepit mirror went along perfectly with my blog on "the mirror doesn't show the real beauty". I'll be back again.

PS. this store wouldn't happen to be in Calif. would it? Here's to hoping!!!
Nancy, they are such wonderful pics. What an amazing store, I think possibly I could become lost in there for hours too. Such beautiful things. Oh, and I love all the pretty pics of your garden. I'm not an orange or yellow girl, but I ADORE nasturtiums. They are the sweetest things, aren't they?
Hugs, Coll :-}
Hi Nancy,
I loved the tour of the antique store, and the little headless doll vases are charming. Take care, Martha
