Holiday Spirit at Brandywine View Antiques

Last weekend, we kicked off the season during the Fourth Annual Holiday Open House. Lisa and her little elves spent hours decorating the shop in preparation for the event.

One of many trees throughout the shop:

This one was decorated with tiny antique german books.

Meet some members of the Brandywine View Antiques crew (eftl to right): Colleen (freshvintage), Spencer (also known as Lisa's Husband), Lisa (Owner), Linda (Lisa's Sister), Janet (trunk-refinisher extraordinaire), Larry (right-hand man), and Nic (Four Corner Store).

The "General Store" room was the home of Lisa's famous holiday ham and other delicious treats.

Our cubbies are filled to the brim with holiday decorations...

This antique trunk was beautifully refinished by one of our dealers, Janet. She has a number of trunks throughout the shop, each one more stunning than the next.

Ceramic Christmas trees, just like the one your grandmother had:

If you are looking for vintage Christmas decor, wander to the second floor for an array of Shiny Brite ornaments, vintage aprons, kid's games and tree toppers.

We are stocked up with candles! This is the most popular time of the year for these candles, with their wintery scents and warm glow. You'll notice the aroma as soon as you walk in the door.

We have seven scents to choose from: Evergreen & Citrus, Spicy Pumpkin Pudding (Homestead), Nut & Ginger, OJ & Cloves, Lemon Custard, Apple Crisp and Vanilla Bean. They make perfect hostess gifts for all of your holiday events.

Get your holiday shopping finished early so you can enjoy the season with family and friends.

Happy Holidays from Lisa, her mom and sister (both Linda) and the rest of the Brandywine View Antiques family!

Don't forget...we're coming to Clover!

Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Mallory!

A big congratulations to Lisa & Spencer who were married in a beautiful ceremony on September 17, 2011.  Lisa worked hard over the past eight months to create a memorable event with great food, great music and great people.

Just think...one week before their wedding, she had a successful Fall Fling Tent Sale. Only Lisa could juggle a huge sale and a wedding within one week!

The 1954 fire truck was on standby, in case things got too heated.

And the five dollar pulled pork sandwiches from The Gables helped calm some nerves...

...along with the mimosas stashed in Colleen's vintage camper.

Lisa wants to thank all of the customers who have wished her well over the past few frantic months of planning. It was stressful, but it was well worth all of the work.

They finally did it!

Spring into Summer Roundup

Thanks to all of the Brandywine View Antiques customers who came out to Clover Market in Ardmore last Sunday. And a big welcome to all of those people who just discovered us!

Take a look at some of the antiques and home accessories that we brought with us to the show. If you are interested in anything, please give us a call and we will let you know if it is still available.

This coffee table was handmade from old beadboard. It sold at Clover, but we have similar tables at the shop.

 

All decked out for the summer!

This library card catalog sold at Clover, but we frequently get them in the shop. Let us know if you are looking for one.

This light blue scalloped shelf is adorable. And it is still available!

These antique factory racks are popular, but they are getting harder and harder to find. They are perfect for holding quilt and blankets, books or board games. Let us know if you are looking for one, because we usually have at least one for sale.

This one-of-a-kind cupboard was a great display piece for our candles (and it is back at the shop, if you are looking for a unique piece of furniture for your kitchen, family room or porch).

We went through several cases of candles. People would wander into our space and ask, "What is that great smell?"  We were happy to offer everyone a "sniff test" free of charge!

We have a huge array of scents to choose from. Stop by the shop to check out Lemongrass or Clementine & Green Tea. And if you need a last minute gift for that faraway friend, we will ship them a candle or two!

Patriotic Summer Style at Clover Market on June 5th

Visit Us at Clover Market!

Date: Sunday, June 5th
Time: 10am to 4pm

Yes, that's right...Brandywine View is back on the road! We'll be making an encore performance at the Clover Market on June 5th.

Clover is an upscale vintage outdoor market in Ardmore, PA  featuring antiques & collectibles, vintage jewelry & clothing, original art and artisan crafts. Clover Market won 2010 Best Outdoor Shopping Venue in Main Line Today Magazine.

We've been to Brimfield and beyond, searching for a fabulous mix of antique furniture and decorative items, with an emphasis on red, white and blue summer style. Colleen from freshvintage will be in the tent next door, selling her vintage finds, too. This will be the biggest Clover Market yet, with 60 dealers!

Visit the Clover Market website for details and directions. This is a rain or shine event.

Clover Market Recap (and our Upcoming Spring Fling Tent Sale!)

Our first attempt at taking the show on the road was a blast! On April 14th, we pitched our tents at Clover Market, and enjoyed every busy minute of it. We met so many new customers and saw many of our old favorites. There were even a few diehard shoppers who drove to Brandywine View immediately after leaving Clover. We'll be back there on June 5th, so be sure to stop by again!

We packed a HUGE truck full with our favorite garden and farmhouse finds. Here are some photos from the sale:

 

And, our pièce de résistance: this garden potting bench / fabulous patio bar/ shabby chic kitchen cupboard. It was custom made from recycled architectural salvage. This one sold very quickly, but we still have one more. Call the shop if you are interested.

Don't forget! Our Spring Fling Tent Sale is May 14th at 9am (and May 15th, if we have leftovers).  We'll have hot dogs and great deals!
