BILLY'S BUNGALOW

It's been ages since I've posted here as I've been busy focusing on my Etsy shop "Billy's Bungalow" and other endeavors. The shop features Vintage, Antiques, Décor & Art. Here are a few latest finds - objects that tell a story are my favorite things!

The Antique Glass Fishing Float is very rare - it was originally crystal-clear glass and because it contains maganese, it turned this beautiful lavender color from the ultraviolet light from its years at sea! I adore Ikat Woven Cloths from the Cote D'Ivoire - these cloths have truly lived life and are wonderful on tables, as pillow covers, and wall-hangings. The Bamboo Coil Basket is another rare find - its woven star pattern represents the three prominent stars of Orion - regarded as the three gods of fortune, prosperity and longevity! The Peruvian Quinua Harvest Vase is intended to hold the seeds to be planted that year for good luck. It shows Peruvian people and their animals on the way to the field. And, finally a Set of Mexican Redware Nut Dishes because they are fun for cocktail hour! If an item interests you, please feel free to use the code: BLOGFRIEND10 at check-out for a 10% discount).

ANTIQUES ON NINE | KENNEBUNK SHOPPING

One of my favorite places to shop is Antiques on Nine in Kennebunk, Maine. It's 12,000 feet of old, new and unique things including: American and European furniture, garden accessories, decorative objects, paintings, and much more. Plan to spend an hour here before heading a few minutes east into charming Kennebunkport.

Antiques on Nine is located at 81 Western Avenue/Rte. 9 in Kennebunk, Maine
Tel: 207-967-0626

Another 5 minutes beyond Kennebunkport, you will come to Cape Porpoise where there are a couple of restaurants on the dock. The perfect post-shopping treat just might be the wonderful shoestring onion rings and a beer at The Ramp, where you can breathe in the ocean air and see the lighthouse beyond this charming Maine cove.
