Needlepoint!

We have just gotten in a shipment of needlepoint pillows and they’re fabulous – just like a certain someone’s shoes!

Some of these pillows are from Chelsea Textiles, picked up at a very special sale in NYC a few weeks ago.

We have a pooch pillows again, and they’re perfect presents for people with puppy pets!

Oddly, artichokes are having a moment, and so we have pillows to keep you au courant!

How about this pair of pears?

And this foxy little vixen!

As ever, if you see anything that piques your interest, get in touch with our Eric. He’ll help you.

YUMMY!

One of the items that Halcyon House Antiques’ customers look forward to each year is our selection of foods at the holidays. And now’s the time to come in and make your selections, before they vanish!

We have perennial favorites, including two types of shortbread.

Around our house, these cheese straws are very popular. They have a little jalapeño kick to them.

The Cheese Straws’ cousins, the Lemon Straws are a great combination of sweet and tangy!

The Squirrel Brand nuts are always a big seller, especially these Crème Caramel Pecans.

The Toffee to Go is wrapped and ready for you to take as a hostess gift to your next party. They make a great gift.

The Bequet Caramels, made in Montana are so delicious, and come in a variety of flavors. Our favorite is the Celtic Sea Salt.

New this year are Koppers Candies, which come in a bag, or tubes!

For the next few weeks, we will be getting new items in almost every day! Please stop by and see what we have and catch up on things with Eric, who’s playing the role of Santa’s helper this year.

The Little Red Barn

No doubt you’ve seen our little red barn as you’ve driven into Halcyon House Antiques. We had it built by a bunch of hunky Amish guys a few years ago to replace the old barn that had fallen down. It’s sited so perfectly in a dip in the meadow, with a bank of trees behind it.It’s become a tradition to take a photograph of the little red barn on every visit to the shop. Each time we see it, the light is different, the sky is different and the weather is different.

We thought we’d share a few of our favorite images of the little red barn at Halcyon House. Next time you stop by, be sure to look at the little red barn and maybe take a picture of it!

Julie Vos Jewelry

Halcyon House Antiques just received a shipment of some gorgeous new jewelry, by designer Julie Vos. We are so pleased to be the only place in Baltimore which carries this line.

Julie’s jewelry is simple, yet stunning. Its lines are spare and yet they make a statement.

Her earrings are set to flatter your face, bringing an added element of elegance.

Her chunky gold bracelets will show off your wrists to perfection!

Please stop by and see Eric who will be delighted to show you the Julie Vos jewelry, or give him a call.

Pet Portraits Show Opening on Saturday, October 11th

 Sam Robinson is having a show of his pet portraits at Halcyon House Antiques, beginning Saturday, October 11th.

 

And he’s accepting commissions for portraits of man’s (or woman’s) best friend to be completed in time for the Christmas holidays.

Sam spends time with the dogs, getting to know them and their personalities, and takes pictures to help recall their spirits while he’s painting. Then he heads to his studio and starts the painting.Sam is a master at catching the spark in the dog’s eye, the shading of his coat, and the particular angle at which the dog holds his paw or cocks his head.Sam’s style is referred to as Expressive Realism, and with simple and effective brushstrokes, he grasps the essence that makes the dog so special to its owners.

In addition to Sam’s paintings, Halcyon House Antiques will have some of Rebecca Vizard’s BViz Fortuny dog collars and leashes. These are seriously gorgeous and your dog will be so unbelievably chic wearing one of these.

They come in sizes from extra small to extra large, so there’s one to fit your dog.

Come on out to Halcyon House and see the exhibition starting Saturday, or join us for a drink on Friday evening. We’d love to see you, and we know you will love Sam’s portraits…

And seriously, it’s not too early to think about shopping for the holidays!

Please RSVP to Eric so we’ll have enough booze!
