What More Needs to Be Said

By Brent | Published: February 1, 2011

I came across these wonderful letters in a shopping trip to Seattle recently. Supposedly they are french shop letters but I don’t really care about that. They are just my perfect mantra. These letters currently reside over our mantle. They might move to Stars when the time is right but I love living with them. [...]

By Gayle | Published: January 18, 2011

What I like about January despite the cold, the wind, the rain, the fog, and the gray days…… I like the idea of nestling in and making my home winter cozy…. I bring out my quilts and crocheted throws and put them on chairs, sofas, and beds…. I force bulbs and bring in plants from [...]

Birds, birds, birds…

By Brent | Published: January 7, 2011

We’ve got a lot of great bird items at Stars Antiques! Here is a lovely folk art painted box from Sweden. Dealer #85 has it priced at $18. What is it about color that makes us happy? We saw this pillow in Dealer #24′s space and we smiled. Love the texture. Love the colors and [...]
