Bryn Du Antiques & Gardening Sneak Peek...

In about 2 weeks we'll be packing up our special stash of great finds for the Antiques and Gardening Show at the Bryn Du mansion in Granville. Check my side bar for dates and times. ((Round up your girlfriends! On opening day there is a brunch preview for early bird ticket buyers!)) All details are on the Bryn Du Antiques website. Since I'm like a kid at Christmas for these things (it's so hard to stockpile inventory at home for them, I want to take it all to the store as soon as I find it!) I thought I would let you peek at a few of them. Just a peek now...*****The shop will be closed on Thursday, May 13/Friday, May 14/Saturday, May 15 (I will be there Wednesday loading truck and trailer, feel free to swing by.)*****
