Once in a while you just have to completely change displays around and it gives your booth a whole new feel. Hoping for continued success this fall - thank you to everyone who has kept me very busy this summer between both of my locations! 🩵🩵

Two kids back to school today meant I could spent 2 hours completely rearranging my vintage & antique booth in Hallowell!

Big thanks to my friend Lynsey for accepting coffee as payment to help me get this done, complete with moving furniture and preventing me from dropping mirrors and being cursed with seven years of bad luck 😆

I have more ideas for changes this fall but for now I’m happy with how it’s looking!

A few things that make me happy 🩵

New deliveries and some minor re-arranging at Freckle Salvage Company ! One of these days after the kids are in school I’ll do full overhauls of both of my booth spaces - I’ve been managing all summer with a quick 20 minute stop here and there but it’s always fun to really change it all up a few times a year!

At first glance, the makers mark on this antique ironstone platter may make you think this is a French piece. With some further research though - this is what I found out 👇🏻👇🏻


‘Porcelaine a la Francais’ was not porcelain or French but a name used by John Ridgway on some of their ironstone earthenware. Around the mid-ninteenth century British manufacturers found their markets were being eroded by inexpensive French porcelain - leading potters to adopt French sounding names to help compete with them!

John Ridgway was renowned for producing high-quality ironstone earthenware and porcelain, including transfer-printed designs that were popular in Britain and abroad. The Ridgway brand was one of the leading names in Staffordshire pottery.

This makers mark was registered in 1844 - can you believe this piece has survived for over 180 years?! 😳

If you ever have questions about English makers marks and dating pieces - thepotteries.org is a great resource!

A little corner of my home 🩵

Antique painted dresser that I refinished 5 years ago - heavy brass lamp in a free roadside pile - antique painting from a yard sale this summer - whiskey bottle from antique mall - book from Hope Island found at a vintage shop - Galileo thermometer thrifted in Canada this summer

While my library/office/inventory room is more of a maximalist explosion, the rest of the house I prefer to be a little simpler in decor - this spot in the hall way just got a lot better when I added this beautiful original antique floral painting on canvas that I found at a yard sale for TEN DOLLARS this summer! Some things I just have to keep for myself 😍
