Holidays at Halcyon House!

It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays at Halcyon House Antiques. The season was launched with cocktails at an evening party and the house looked fantastic!

Everywhere you look, you see signs of the upcoming holiday season.

There are Christmas trees everywhere in all shapes, colors and sizes.

There are any number of baubles to hang from your tree.

And of course, there are gifts galore!

And for the gents, a special room dedicated to manly gifts.

There’s something for everyone at Halcyon House this holiday season. Come on out and see what goodies you can find!

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. IMG_2704

The faux fur is so natural that you really have to double and triple check to see whether it’s real or really faux. IMG_2706

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

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!

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. IMG_2721

They have great details like the stitching and the wonderful buttons. IMG_2722

We have men’s gloves in beautiful butter-soft leathers. IMG_2738

We have scarves in cashmere plaids, suitable for both women and men. IMG_2737

These tissue-weight cashmere scarves come in a wide range of patterns and colors. IMG_2732

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

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.

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.

Are you happy it’s fall?

Pup Pillows

No, not a pillow for your pup, but a pup pillow for you! We just got these in and knowing our clients who LOVE their dogs, they won’t stay in stock for long.  First up, our beloved Jack Russell! We have one or two three of these over at the farm.

We have Labradors in yellow and black.

And pugs in black and fawn.

And dachshunds!IMG_1303 All of the pillows are done in petite point and standard needlepoint, and they all have trims that echo the colors on the pillows. They will be a great gift for someone who is a dog-lover, or you can just buy one to celebrate your favorite breed.
