More Baubles and Beads!

With the bad weather coming in overnight Wednesday and all day Thursday, there’s one day less to shop for Valentine’s Day. It’s really no problem though, here at Halcyon House, we have some more great suggestions.

How about some fun earrings?Or a lovely necklace?If the weather does turn really bad, not to worry, you can print out one of these images and put it in a box for Valentine’s Day and then come out on Saturday and buy the actual item!

It’s Time for Valentine’s Day!

Time’s ticking down until Valentine’s Day! And even though we know you use your cellphone to check the time, it’s really much easier to just turn your wrist and look at your watch.  But we want to make sure your watch reflects who you are, so we’ve stocked some classic and fun watches to meet every occasion.

I like these women’s watches that look like they wrap around your wrist, but in reality, they snap at the back, making them easy to put on and take off.
For the gentlemen, there’s a traditional watch with the classic grosgrain ribbon strap. These look like vintage watches, but they’re the latest technology.
For those of us, both men and women, whose eyes aren’t quite as sharp as they used to be, these unisex watches are just the thing. The watches come with either a black, brown or navy strap.

We hope that you’ll make the time to come in and see us before Valentine’s Day… or after. We’d love to see you anytime!

Countdown to Valentine’s Day!

The clock is ticking, and Valentine’s Day is less than two weeks away! If you have a significant other, you know that it’s best to be ready on the morning of Valentine’s Day, and have something to give.

Halcyon House Antiques should be your go-to shop for a unique Valentine’s Day gift. We will be providing you with some suggestions over the run up to Valentine’s Day. Are you ready? IMG_2707

We are going to start with pearls. We have both traditional and contemporary versions.

IMG_3873IMG_3871IMG_3795IMG_2723Pearls are one of the oldest known forms of gems, and they will remain classic forever.

Leaf Me Alone!

I was at the shop looking at things to photograph for these posts, when Eric suggested that we do “50 Shades of Grey” post.

After we stopped laughing and started looking, we found a number of grey objects. But what really caught my eye was the great leaf dishes that are now in stock.

The artist has taken real leaves and made casts of them. You could use them for serving dishes, a place to put your jewelry,

a candy dish, a condiment dish, a salad bowl or anything you can imagine!

Oh, Geode!

We have the most fascinating necklaces in the shop right now. They’re so unique that we had to have them! They’re made of tiny geodes. I am sure you remember geodes from your college geology classes. They look like nothing from the outside, but when you break them open, they are filled with crystals!image

Our necklaces are rows of tiny geodes, with just a little of their sparkle showing through.

As you see, the necklace just looks like several strands of interesting beads, but when you get closer, you see the magic!You can see the rifts and crevasses in each stone that shows off its secret interior. Spaced between some of the geode stones are little crystal beads and there is one larger accent stone.

This necklace comes in stone grey and a marble white.

Of course, these amazing necklaces are unique to Halcyon House and each one is slightly different due to the nature of the stones used to create each piece.

As always, if you’re interested in what you see, please contact Eric at the shop!

These stunning necklaces come with beading, on chains, as earrings, IMG_3784as pendants, and in glorious colors.

Is there anything more classic than black and white? From old photographs to a Chanel suit, black and white stands the test of time.
