Snow Day

Our barn looks like a perfect postcard!

Christmas Decorations, Redux

About two years ago, Stiles and Jonathan’s house was featured in Style Magazine. So, just to get you in the holiday spirit… and to show you that too much is just right, we thought you’d like to see what the house looked like that Christmas!

Adopt the practice of filling a Revere bowl with beautiful glass and other ornaments

Jonathan is an amazing gardener and grew all of the amaryllis from bulbs, and timed them to bloom right at Christmas. They tuck in magnolia leaves from a tree on their property.

More amaryllis and some cyclamen brighten the front hall.

Place the tree in front of a window, so it can be enjoyed from all angles!

Even though there are loads of ornaments, the tree is pretty simple.

Flowers are everywhere and they make a big statement!

The wood paneled walls just glow in the candlelight and have the most beautiful patina.

There is much to admire people who take the time to decorate for the holidays!

Fur-ever!

There’s nothing better than snuggling up to something soft and furry! Halcyon House has just the thing for doing that!

We found the most incredible, amazing and soft faux fur collars. They’re just the thing to wrap around your neck on a cold day.

The faux fur is so natural that you really have to double and triple check to see whether it’s real or really faux.

We also have headbands that will keep your ears nice and toasty on a cold day!

As always, if you’re interested in anything you see here, contact Eric at Halcyon House for more information.

Carded

When we were at the gift show in the summer, we spotted the most hilarious cards! We couldn’t resist ordering them for the store and for you!

These dogs are ready for the holidays!

Dogs, not reindeer!

You can tell these are French – they’re wearing berets and smoking!

And a cat, too!

As ever, if you’re interested in ordering anything shown, please contact Eric at the shop!

What’s New!

Now that it’s well and truly fall weather out, and we’re not likely to go back into the 80’s, we have a lot of new fall and winter items in stock for you.

We have gloves! For women, we have them in gorgeous colors with great trims like the fur ones below.

They have great details like the stitching and the wonderful buttons.

We have men’s gloves in beautiful butter-soft leathers.

We have scarves in cashmere plaids, suitable for both women and men.

These tissue-weight cashmere scarves come in a wide range of patterns and colors.

If you are a dog-lover, we just got in a selection of ties and pocket squares featuring these hip hounds.

As ever, if you’d like more information on anything shown here, please contact Eric at the shop!

L’Heure Bleu

Blue… it’s a color that conjures up bright skies, clear lakes, a huge ocean, and, if you’re in Texas, acres of bluebonnet flowers. At Halcyon House Antiques, we have blues of all shades from turquoise and aqua to the deepest nearly black blue.

Let’s take a look at our blues.

Blue hand-painted china

An elegant table setting.

A lapis blue bracelet

Opaline blue vases in wonderful unusual shapes

Cache pots and napkins, trays and plates.

Blue transferware china. Always a classic.

Acrylic bubble glasses in turquoise and royal blue.

Provencal Blue Platter

We hope that you don’t have the blues!

Orange You Glad…

That it’s finally fall? After those couple of crazy 85* days last week, it’s finally settled into fall!
That means we’ve broken out the orange accessories for your fall looks. This bracelet is amazing… orange “coral” and rhinestones in a great classical design. While you might be tempted to pair this with a black sweater on Halloween, it’s more sophisticated than that.

We also have this Chanel-inspired bracelet that actually comes in orange and a few other colors.

Lapis blue

Onyx black

Ivory white

Are you happy it’s fall?
