What makes your heart flutter?

One of the greatest joys of owning two antique and gift stores is the treasure hunt ! When pursuing the hunt you never know how things are going to go. I find myself thinking back to when I was a little girl fishing with my dad. One thing that has always been the same since I was born - I love to talk-love to communicate. My dad would often have to say--shhhhh Stacey-be quiet and patient and the catch will come to you. Sometimes we caught allot and sometimes we caught few but we almost ALWAYS caught something. Treasure hunting is so the same. The curiousity always builds such excitement within me-will I find lots or will I find few??? Oh my gosh has this last week and a half been THE BIG CATCH! It has been a blast ! From a couple of great estate sales to an auction that simply left me squealing I have so remembered how fun it was to be that little girl that came home with a stringer full of a big catch...I just love my life-my dad would be proud even though I still can't be quiet ! :>)

The cream of this current crop is a gorgeous set of French Empire bedroom furniture ! (even though I must admit my secret-the old fish stringer loaded with old rusty keys made my heart flutter the very most )

So do share...what are your favorite finds of late-what makes your heart flutter?

Come out to the Hen House and Roost and check out the recent finds-you will not be disappointed !

Visions of the beach cottage......

 A girl can dream.....

         If you listen close

 you can hear those waves

                   crashing into the shore              

                   

Do you smell the salt in the air?

I see the sunset of fiery hues...

                                                                                                   tastes of fresh seafood-simplicity of family together with no schedule

                                                                                                        flicker of fun memories

relaxing in beach cottage bliss

                                                                         CHEERS to the memories-

        

 trips do not always have to be literal-

 hope you enjoyed it as much as I did !

What's HOT at The Hen House besides our 90+ temperatures...it is painted furniture !

   I am having a love hate relationship with my old building right now. I love the history-the ambiance etc, etc...but these days and this heat-let's just say--the girl goes home at the end of the day feeling like some of our chippy painted objects. Feel like I am a bit "weathered" if you will. But...my wonderful customers and dealers keep me remembering why I love this business so. When I see a customers excitement over finding that perfect treasure and then when my dealers bring in awesome merchandise that just makes my heart melt (oh bad choice of words) - I become charged with renewed energy !

           Let me take a moment of a little show and share since speaking of painted hot furniture--take a peak at a few treasures just in at TFH...

How about this fabulous three drawer chest? All original paint-all five or more colors--is this fab or what!

Then we have this great Lilly Pulitzer inspired bookcase painted in a wonderful turquoise with lime green side panels and just this slighest bit of distressing-just plain fun!

OR...feeling like a dreamsicle (ohhh...does that sound good, cool and refreshing )-sorry ,it must be the heat! Check out this great vintage Duncan Phyfe table that had some serious vaneer issues so distressed dreamsicle tangerine was one dealers answer-how fun huh?!

Of coarse the fun rich colors are not all -fall in love with these -I know I sure have!

Talent abounds at Three French Hens ! We are filled with so many more fun finds . Now I find myself inspired  -cooled off-feeling like I want to get hot with a paint brush myself...you just can't ever make a woman content ! Oh well.....here is hoping you are inspired~
