Unique Treasures at Antique Menagerie....

We hope everyone enjoyed the Easter holiday, and the beginning of Passover. Ours was wonderful.  We colored Easter Eggs the night before, the Easter Bunny came and brought a special guest with him this year the "Tooth Fairy".  Our youngest son Luke lost his tooth.  It was an epic event for our family.  We did Easter brunch, then all came home to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. We hope your day was as amazing as it could be.

We had some new pics taken for us by the magnificent Lu at Lu Tapp Photography.  I want to share a couple vignettes that we have set up in the store for you. 

This is a gorgeous 1880's French console table with a marble top.  The Cherub is a stunning turn of the century piece. He is wooden, hand carved.  It is beautiful.  We have crowns.  We love our crowns. The photo album is  "blinged" with amber colored Swarovski Crystals, decorated with cross and fleur de lis pendants.  We cannot keep these in the store.  A popular item for us.

These sweet, little treasures are recycled 1920's milk glass jars labeled with vintage forks stamped "cake", "blossom" or "grow".  They were used to keep or sell face cream in.  The jars marked "cake" can hold candles and sit next to that special occasion dessert.  The jar marked "blossom" I love to put a flower in that one of my boys has picked for me.  They always just pick the flower and never bring the stem.  I fell in love with these jars with that in mind.

My favorite...flowers.  Our store is filled with sunflowers and hydrangeas. We also have the most incredible succulents with bright flowers blooming right out of the middle of them.  The cactus are a favorite at our home.  We have them planted inside and outside in old galvanized pots, tubs and vintage baby baths.  They bring a certain beauty to any home. Our customers are amazed with their beauty.  These will not last!!!

We have been so blessed here at Antique Menagerie.  We are getting all positive feedback from everyone that comes through the store.  We have met some amazing clients that we know will turn into long lasting friendships.
