BLACK FRIDAY!

Halcyon House isn’t one of those places that opens at the crack of dawn for those door-busting deals.
We’re much more civilized. We will be open at 10:00 a.m. on Friday morning.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just like you, we will be home with our family and friends celebrating Thanksgiving on Thursday.

We will re-open on Friday at 10:00 a.m.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like…

Well, you know what it’s beginning to look a lot like!  Adorable HEDGEHOGS!We are just starting to stock Halcyon House Antiques with baubles and balls, beautiful ornaments and an exquisite collection of snow globes. I wish I could show you the little video I made of this Buddha snow-globe, but the internet isn’t cooperating.

As ever, if anything interests you, our off-the-shelf Elf, Eric will be happy to be of assistance.

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

Mirrors are a brilliant decorating accent for any number of reasons. They bounce the light around. They’re great for a quick check before you head out the door. They can add a note of elegance to any décor. They are timeless.

At Halcyon House Antiques, we’ve just gotten some of the MOST amazing mirrors into the shop. This Venetian-style mirror is bordered by the most gorgeous beveled blue glass. Here’s the same mirror in a deep purple (for the Ravens’s fan?).Nothing says classic like a sunburst mirror!Here are some of the other mirrors we have. You will notice that we use them as accents throughout the house.

This is one of our most amazing mirrors.

Stunning in its own right, but when you look at the detail work, it’s amazing!

As always, please check in with Eric, who loves a good mirror, if you’re interested in anything you see here.

What’s New?

At Halcyon House Antiques? There are so many new items, your head will spin! We’re prepping for the holidays, or as they call it in England, the Festive Season, and are getting boxes of new goodies in every day!

Here’s a small sample of some of our new items.

Equestrian-themed mugs, napkins, and hand-towels.

Probably the greatest invention ever! A wrap with a knit collar so the wool can shine on its own. So cozy!

Stunning new jewelry lines

Scarves in a range of fabrics, colors and patterns for both men and women.Platters and trays for your entertaining needs.

As always, contact Eric the Elf for your holiday needs.

Fits Like a Glove!

There’s a nip in the air these days when we head out to walk the dog, head off to work or take the children to school, and nothing’s better for warding off a chill like a chic pair of gloves! Each year, we work with our source to select the most fun, the most elegant and the most unique combinations of trims, colors and styles of gloves. Take a look.

We have wonderful scarves that coordinate with the gloves.

And the gentlemen aren’t left out!

It’s going to be a long winter, so stock up now while your favorites are still here! And the gloves have a great price point, so you can buy several pairs to give as gifts. They’re knit, so they fit many sizes.

As always, contact Eric to talk about the glove you love!

Scarves!

Halcyon House Antiques has just gotten in the MOST gorgeous scarves. They’re beautiful silk twill and the best part is that they are reversible! Come on in and check them out. We have a limited number of these stunning scarves, so the sooner, the better!

As ever, if you have any questions, email our Eric.

Fall Style!

Now that fall is well and truly upon us, although 70* days occasionally pop up, it’s time to jettison that summer bag and pick up a new fall one. We’ve got a great selection of wonderful felt bags that have just come in, including shoppers, totes and clutches.

As always, if you see something here which piques your interest, contact Eric. He’s as interesting as anything you’ll find in the shop!

Oh, Intaglio!

Intaglio is such a classic look, dating back to the early days of the Greeks and Romans. It’s still a chic and stylish look today, and at Halcyon House Antiques, our collection of intaglio jewelry is one of our best selling items. But fear not, there’s a large enough range that you won’t see your piece coming and going. Each piece is handcrafted and assembled, and we even take custom orders for a smaller or larger piece. Ask Eric.

You are sure to find something that you love!

Dahlia Days

As the fall days shorten, there’s one bright spot in the garden – at least until the first frost. Stiles and Jonathan’s collection of dahlias is second to none!

When you visit Halcyon House Antiques, you will see masses of freshly cut dahlias decorating the tables, using some of our vases and bowls.

At the recent Valleys Planning Council’s Art for Land’s Sake Show and Sale, Stiles made the most magnificent arrangement, nearly FIVE feet tall!

At the top, you can get a glimpse of one of the most beautiful dahlias – it’s the palest shell pink on the outer petals, and fades to a creamy white on the inner ones.

Sometimes, when we’re closing on Saturday, we give the flowers at the shop to friends who are at the store, and they re-arrange them at home.

We’re expecting the first frost any week now, and once that happens, the dahlias will be gone again for another year. But while they’re here, they bring a lot of joy!

Baubles & Beads

One of our favorite jewelry designers is Angela Caputi, from Florence, Italy, whom Jonathan discovered on a stroll through the city one evening. Although the shop was closed, he made a point of going back the next day, and meeting with Angela and her staff, and then placing an order for Halcyon House Antiques.

We are thrilled to announce that we’ve just received the pieces from her fall line, and they’re fantastic! The colors are so rich and lush. The styles are so chic!

Angela has a great eye for design, and it shows in every piece she’s created.

Come on by and check these pieces for yourself. Remember, the holidays aren’t too far off, and a piece of Angela Caputi would make a great gift for you… or for someone you love.

As always, Eric is happy to chat with you about anything you’ve seen here.
