Our January Newsletter

Happy New Year!


And thanks to all who made 2024 such a great year for us and our business. A combination of good fortune in our buying efforts and the enthusiastic response of regulars and newcomers gave us one of the best years on record. We ended the year with our November Opening, followed by our annual December Gift Fest, and both exceeded our expectations. Look for a similar schedule in 2025.


Jan began the new year with a long-overdue surgery to replace her right hip. After months of misdiagnoses by various physicians, we got her to a brilliant young surgeon in Brattleboro, VT. Her surgery was concluded on Monday before 1:00 p.m., and she was walking with assistance before 4:00. We came home on Tuesday, and I'm writing this in our office on Wednesday afternoon, while Jan is in the house icing, exercising, and walking hourly. We're pleased to report that she seems well on the way to full recovery.



And now . . .

The 2025 New York Antiques Show

This month we will once again be exhibiting in Marvin Getman's virtual New York show. The format of this highly successful event and Marvin's excellent promotion of it have made it an annual high spot for us. It fits comfortably into our schedule, making it the perfect way to begin the year.


This year's show will open on Friday, January 17 at noon and conclude on Sunday the 19th at 6:00 p.m. Click the logo above for more details.

Our National Trust Pilgrimage

Autumn 2024 - Part III

In this month's newsletter we're publishing the third installment of the visual journal of our Autumn 2024 travel, which concentrated on British National Trust properties. This segment includes pictures from our visits to Tattershall Castle in Lincolnshire, the National Trust Elizabethan House and Blickling Hall in Norfolk, and Holy Trinity Church in Blythburgh, Suffolk. We took scores of pictures, some of which you can see by clicking on the picture of part of the Blickling Estate, above.

Our New Year's Eve Dinner for Two

As is our tradition, we spent New Year's Eve cooking and consuming the multi-course meal we'd spent most of the day preparing. This year's dinner was as much fun to prepare as it was to consume. (Well, almost.) We invite you to click the picture above for pictures of all six courses.

Thank you being a subscriber and customer.

Stay safe and be well.
