This week we thought we would update our new arrivals from the last few weeks. We will eventually go back to weekly updates on new arrivals, but for now they will remain sporadic. It turns out things don’t run quite as smoothly during a pandemic. For example we are expecting an enormous shipment from Springwater Woodcraft. But as their factory is operating with reduced staff, to accommodate social distancing, they can’t give us a clear arrival date like they did precovid. So we might do another new arrivals update next week, or it might be a couple of weeks. I’m not sure precovid is a word, but I’m sure we are all looking forward to postcovid.

One of the things that has returned to a regular schedule is our shipments of reclaimed wood furniture from Vancouver. We get shipments twice a month, so orders are arriving quickly again. This past shipment was mostly special orders for customers who are enjoying shopping from home. However we did restock some of the items from our Irish Coast line, including both sizes of media units. Since nearly everyone seems to be spending more time in front of screens these days, why not do it in style!

We also managed to restock six of our smaller garden gnomes that had sold out. A photo is attached. The medium gnomes are still sold out, but we do have the large bobbleheads in stock. We also got in a few sample outdoor pieces: plant stands and a peacock chair. We have sold out of the yellow butterfly benches for the season, so we figured, why not peacocks?

Antique arrivals from the last few weeks included: Louis XV style loveseat in nice condition, two cast iron gates-a photo is below, Buisson flatina, Ne Plus Ultra accordion, metal elephant bench, printer’s tray, cedar chest, trunk with leather straps, pine cradle, ornate oval Victorian parlour table, oak draw leaf pub table, full walnut Chippendale style secretary desk, pair of large fiberglass planters, working 1950’s electric lawnmower, nice brass slipper box, floral design card table, reupholstered Duncan Phyfe sofa, ornate marble top credenza with lots of ormolu-a photo is below, brass floor lamp, 2 fire axes, firebox from a firetruck, shabby sheik bench, new batch of hand saws, 4 miniature oil lamps, assorted odd chairs and a few pairs of chairs, pine hall table, pine lift bench, nice backbar cabinet, small drop leaf end table, and more.

We’ve also been unpacking lots of boxes of smalls. So the curios and china cabinets are filled up. As is the green wardrobe. All you regulars should know about all the goodies hidden in the green wardrobe by now. Stay cool and safe everyone, its hot!
