Christmas Buffet Vignette
Just so you know, blog advertising does work. If you read The Nesting Place, you may recognize the footed bowl I am using in my Christmas buffet vignette. I spotted it there and then had to hit the Pier One when I was in Raleigh. I bought it and I love it. It was the perfect centerpiece […]
First Come, First Serve
As some of you know, the shop in Gettysburg that originally sold my furniture and accessories recently closed. I teared up when I collected the last of my things from the shop last week.

Black Friday Antique Shopping
I am staying with my in-laws in Raleigh, NC and I can hardly resist the opportunity to hit some antique stores while in a new area, so I didn’t. I dragged my mother-in-law and mom across Raleigh to hit some spots I was told about. I didn’t come home with any super crazy amazing exciting […]
