These days I have been spending quite a lot of time in <i><b><span style="color: #76a5af;">Southampton, NY</span>. </b></i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is an elegant location with <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">graceful mansions, pristine beaches and quaint downtown shops.</span> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have become familiar with this <span style="color: #e06666;"><i>lovely</i></span> locale through my daily strolls along her <span style="color: #e06666;"><i>gracious</i></span> streets. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are tall hedgerows that line the perimeter of the massive estates and charming cottages. Often times the hedges block out nearly all views of a given home. All that is left are stately gates, pristine landscapes and winding driveways, which adds to the intrigue. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: large;">What exists beyond those gates and hedgerows? </span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: large;">I need to know!!! </span></span></i> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then..... there is the architecture, the details that you can get a glimpse of anyway. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ARCHITECTURE is the element of the Southampton panorama that I adore most. </div>

Little did I realize that the massive white mansion I was passing on my walks to town was designed by the architectural firm of McKim, Mead and White. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you peruse my earlier posts (I invite you to do so!), I have a keen interest in</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: large;">Stanford White, </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: large;">his <i>work</i> and his <i>life</i>. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say I was amazed when I learned the mansion currently known as Whitefield was likely the last project Stanford White worked on before he was shot by Harry Thaw in 1906. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whitefield was originally known as <span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="color: #e06666;">The Orchards</span></b></span> and was built for <span style="color: #76a5af;"><b>James L. Breese</b></span> who was a photographer of inherited wealth.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Stanford White and James L. Breese were friends prior to <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #e06666;">THE FIRM</span></span> working on The Orchards. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mr. Breese purchased the property found on Hill Street in Southampton, NY with an existing ship captains house built upon it. He hired McKim, Mead and White to create quite an extensive addition to the existing house beginning in 1898. The last addition to the house was the wing which included the Music Room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is Stanford White who is attributed to designing the interior of the very elaborate music room in 1906. </div>

If you have the chance, I highly recommend the book, <span style="color: #e06666;">The Houses of McKim, Mead & White</span> which was written by Stanford White's grandson <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #76a5af;"> </span></span></div>

Based upon the floor plan of The Orchards in his book, it's my understanding that the music room is located behind the door where the two columns are in the picture below. </div>

The house in Oyster Bay Cove was magnificent yet understated. To a girl more accustomed to tract housing and suburban sprawl, their home was a wonderland. Upon entering the gates I felt completely transported. When the double doors were swung open for my arrival,<br />
I felt like <span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="color: #cc0000;">Dorothy</span></i></span> during her arrival to <span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="font-size: large;">Munchkin Land</span></span>.<br />

Not only did she have a green house which was attached to their home, her gardens were simply gorgeous. I remember my mother being particularly taken with the fact that outside of each room, Anne would coordinate the <span style="color: #e06666;">color of the flowers</span> with the room decor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My absolute favorite part of these visits was that Aunt Anne gave me free rein. She would tell me to go wherever I wanted to within this spectacular house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I frolicked within the confines of this sumptuous estate, my vivid imagination in tow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The foyer was so lovely with it's rounded staircase and black and white tiled floors. I can remember their <b><span style="font-size: large;">Christmas tree </span></b><br />
tucked within the bend of the stair.<br />
So very elegant!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would go through Aunt Anne's closet which was astounding to me and something I aspire to today. Anne had a lovely walk in closet with tons of clothes and her shoes individually packaged in clear containers with labels on them.<br />
When visiting we would spend most of our time in their den. It had a bit of a masculine feel to it with brown leather furniture, nailhead embellishments and built in wood cabinetry. The room with it's french doors looked out over the slate patio, gardens and pool. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pool had 2 <b>changing rooms</b> and an <b>outdoor shower</b>.<br />
The "his and her" changing rooms each had corresponding male and female silhouettes on the front door.<br />

Anne and Pete permitted me to bring friends and guide them on my own tour of the house and gardens.<br />

One of my favorite things to do when in Oyster Bay Cove was walk along the bridle path which had an entrance at the end of their street. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While on the path we might meet up with riders and their horses or perhaps others like ourselves going for a simple stroll.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That which resided at the end of our stroll was NOT simple at all!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bridle path led to a mansion which was once known as<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">"Mallow"</span></i></span>.<br />
This enormous <b>mansion</b> had been turned into a private school.</div>

Many years had passed since I had seen <span style="color: #e06666;"><i> </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><i>THE HOUSE</i><b> </b></span><br />
in Oyster Bay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I longed to revisit this place of my dreams, I no longer knew how to find my way to<br />
Anne and Pete's former home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few years ago, I made <span style="color: #45818e;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #45818e;">a new friend</span></span>.<br />
She asked me about<br />
<b>my love of decorating and old homes</b>.<br />
<br />
I told her the story that I just told you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Within moments, divine intervention allowed my longing to be satiated.<br />
The information I sought would be wrapped up in a tidy little package and placed in my hands once again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Moments after telling my story, my new friend told me about her<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;">Aunt who married a Soap Opera Star </span></span><br />
on her grandmother's estate in the late 1960's.<br />
At that time her grandmother owned the grand "Lyman Beecher Smith" estate.<br />

The hair stood up on the back of my neck because I knew exactly who she was talking about before she uttered his name!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That <span style="color: #45818e;"><b>"Soap Star"</b></span> was none other than Anne and Pete's nephew.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My friend made a few phone calls and was able to retrieve the Oyster Bay address for me.<br />
<br />
I have driven past Anne and Pete's home on several occasions in remembrance of my <span style="color: #e06666;"> </span><br />
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">cherished childhood memories</span></b>.<br />

Ahhhh! Finally, Spring is in the air.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and for me that means hunting season!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weekend I gathered up my fabulous sister-in-law and hit the streets to unearth some </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">H</span>idden <span style="font-size: large;">T</span>reasure</span></span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first stop was an estate sale in Nesconset, NY run by</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.sistersincharge.com/" target="_blank">SISTERS IN CHARGE.</a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sale consisted of both the house and the garage. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the house I found 2 lovely little trinkets.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first was this <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #93c47d;">Oh So Cute</span></span> green Slag Glass vase. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's just perfect for my Lily of the Valley once they are in bloom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #6aa84f;">SWEET!</span></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I found this vintage floral scrapbook. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hello Springtime! </span> </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The piece de resistance was unearthed during a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>major dig</b></span> in the garage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
These <span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>precious yellow lawn chairs</b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
were hanging on the garage wall.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are in fabulous condition for their age and were the envy of all the other treasure hunters including the Sister-In-Law. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to a very helpful gentleman who dug them out of massive piles of ummmmm... stuff! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you sir wherever you are!!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the end we only found 3 chairs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My guess is somewhere in that garage there still exists one more yellow chair. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope wherever it lands, it's as <b>cherished</b> as these are.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Further into our journey we visited </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Island Thrift</b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is now located on Route 112 in Medford, NY.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the first time I visited this thrift store since it moved from Port Jefferson, NY.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a great new space!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Nice</b> and <b>Clean</b>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While there I found these </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b>dainty lil' yellow shoes with a bow on top.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are reminiscent of 1940's shoes with the peep toe styling.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Early on a chilly Saturday morning we headed to an old house in Sayville, NY to a house auction.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqegxDen-NXzJt3kKOuUhUBSp_LLmOpgkm-jjQIBbhnIPO7MGffMiFdE2MZEi6oTEzAwSvO2v5Bk33CRPKSp__FZyyls4TKoqwLUW763wFzG03em_xhulrXqbLyY-uZOq1pB7VKsx97dXe/s400/auction+sign+house.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the first time I had been to an estate auction in a house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was there more as an observer and student and boy did I get an education!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There were 3 items I was interested in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">First</span> was a pink marble table with a mismatched base, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;">second</span> a huge white wicker plant stand with an arch over it for hanging a flower basket or a bird cage. <span style="color: #e06666;">Lastly</span>, there were 4 drawers <b>FULL OF VINTAGE SCARVES</b>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The auction started in the living room and each of <b> </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>MY COVETED ITEMS</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
were in different rooms of the house. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While Wendy did a super job at moving quickly through the house, I just didn't have the time that day to stay. It would have taken a long time to get to each room and payment was expected at the completion of the auction. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Time just wouldn't allow for it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next time I will clear the day so I can bring home some </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><b>goodies</b></span>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are in need of household items, trinkets and treasures, I fully recommend one of <b>WENDY'S</b> auctions. You will spend pennies on the dollar compared to other venues.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To sum up my <span style="font-size: large;"><b>thrifty weekend</b></span>, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found a few little <span style="color: #f1c232;"><i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>gems</b></span></i></span> to add to my collection </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
all for <span style="font-size: small;"><b>$27.30</b></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome Spring!</span></div>

The late Mrs. Robert D.L. Gardiner had many unique life experiences. Through my interest in Gardiners Island and the Gardiner family history I learned of <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">Eunice</span></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew she was a <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;">striking beauty</span></span> but had no clue just how <span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;">fascinated</span></span> I would become by her life story. Who exactly was this <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">beauty</span></span> with <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #0c343d;">gorgeous red hair</span></span>? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Eunice was born to Alfred and Lily Bailey on September 6, 1928 in <i><b>London, England</b></i>. At an early age she became a model for <span style="color: #e06666;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></i></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
In 1946, at the age of 18 Eunice was involved with an Osteopath named </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763;"><span style="font-size: large;">Stephen Ward</span></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A number of years after their relationship, Ward was involved in a sex scandal involving John Profumo. John Profumo was a member of the <b>British Parliament</b> who stepped down from his position after the sex scandal was uncovered. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #e06666;">Ward</span></b> was prosecuted for his role in introducing a married Profumo to a very young <b>Christine Keeler</b>. Profumo and Keeler were involved in a sexual relationship. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ward was found guilty of profiting off of prostitution. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the day of his sentencing, he </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">committed suicide</span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
According to the book, An Affair of the State: The Profumo Case and the Framing of Stephen Ward by Knightley and Kennedy, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ward had been in love with Eunice</span></span>. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prior to her first marriage it is reported that Eunice had turned down a marriage proposal from </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Orson Welles</span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On July 5, 1952, Eunice married <span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>William Pitt Oakes</b></span></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oakes was from a wealthy family who made their money through a number of ventures which included <span style="font-size: large;"><b>gold mining</b></span>. At the time of her marriage, Eunice was nearly <span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>24</b></span> years old and Oakes was nearly <span style="color: #134f5c;"><b>22 </b></span>years old. Although William’s family made much of their money in the northeastern United States and Canada, the family resided in <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #e06666;">Nassau, Bahamas</span></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Years prior to Eunice’s entrance into this family, William’s father <b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sir Harry Oakes</span> </span></b>was murdered in a sensational case that rocked the Bahamas. The story includes the <span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><span style="font-size: large;">Duke of Windsor</span></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who was in charge of the investigation against William’s brother in law for the murder. A very sordid tale which ended in the brother in law, Count Alfred de Marigny being acquitted of the charges. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No further court proceedings took place and the murderer was never identified. </div>

On March 21, 1961, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Eunice married Robert David Lion Gardiner<b> </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at St. Thomas Church in New York City. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At that time Eunice was 32 years old and Robert was 50. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Robert came from one of the very early settlers of New York. His family lineage includes one of the </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
For years Robert was involved in a struggle over the family owned island he inherited which is located off of the coast of Long Island, NY. <span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The couple met at a birthday party for Mr. Gardiner at the <i><b>Everglades Club</b></i> in Palm Beach, Florida. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eunice and Bob spent their years between </div>

The towns of Sayville and West Sayville have early Dutch roots and was famous for it’s oyster farming. It was also a destination for New York City residents who vacationed here during the summer months. <br />

Sayville’s location on the Great South Bay provides a quick boat ride to Fire Island. This made it an ideal location to cool off during those sizzling hot days at the turn of the last century and well into the 1900’s. </div>

My home is a <b><span style="color: #76a5af;">1930's Dutch Colonial</span></b>.<br />
Much to my dismay, the exact date it was built is not on the house deed. My plan to visit the town offices to research the records has been on my “to do” list for approximately 10 years now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

In 1936 through 1939 my “cottage” was owned by Mr. Albert R. Martin and was used as a vacation rental. During that time it was rented by Miss Kathryn Burke of Brooklyn, New York. During her summer vacations Miss Burke was socially active. She took part in numerous card playing events, social gatherings, and fundraisers. In subsequent years, Miss Burke went on to rent 2 additional summer "cottages" in the neighborhood. In addition her sister Miss Anita Burke was also a summer resident. It appears from my research that neither were married. Kathryn Burke died in 1949 and her sister Anita died a year later in 1950. I’d love to learn more about the first known inhabitant of my home.</div>

I'm curious if Kathryn stayed in this home alone or if she had many visitors staying with her. It seems odd to me that she would need a 4 bedroom house all to herself. But then again, with the miniscule size of the closets I can imagine she needed each one for herself.<br />
<b>I know I do!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After Miss Burke's stay the house no longer shows up on the roster as a summer rental. Perhaps it was a permanent home after those years. <br />
<br />
Researching the owner, Mr. Albert R. Martin, did not turn up any concrete information. It is however possible that I found his son, another Albert R. Martin who was the salutatorian of the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #76a5af;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sayville High School class of 1937</span></span></b>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If this is his son, I can document his life quite extensively through the newspaper. That being said, I was unable to draw a direct lineage between the two Mr. Martins at this time. <br />
<br />
By the 1950’s the home was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Leary. In 1958 both were involved in a car accident that left them in serious condition. While driving on Southern State Parkway in Wantagh, New York, they were hit head on by a car that jumped the divider. Fortunately they both survived.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Then in 1959 there was a mysterious theft on the grounds! </span></b><br />

Mr. Leary went on to live in this home until approximately 1961 when Mr. and Mrs. Kelly purchased the home. Mrs. Kelly owned the home prior to me. She passed away in 2003. Her daughter shared the wonderful pictures posted on this page with me.<br />

Below is a very poor picture of the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Wetherill Residence</span></b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mrs. Kate Smith Wetherill was Stanford's sister in law. Kate was his wife Bessie Smith's sister.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Wetherill mansion was designed by Stanford and built in 1893. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is connected to Box Hill and I understand Stanford sold the Wetherill's the land that the estate now sits on. It is quite massive and imposing with what appears to be 3-4 stories tall on one side. It is set high on a hill overlooking the harbor. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is ST. JAMES EPISCOPAL CHURCH which is located on 25a in St. James NY.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The adjacent cemetery is the final resting place for <b>Stanford White</b> and his wife <b>Bessie Smith White</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stanford's funeral service was held here in a small gathering far from the swirling media frenzy that ensued after his murder in Manhattan.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I walked through the cemetery on the spur of the moment and was unable to find his grave.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which indicates yet another trip to ST. JAMES is on the horizon!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As I see it, she was a "<b>real mensch</b>" and yet a <b>real person</b> with human flaws and frailties like the rest of us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
When worn the collar can be lifted up and draped around the neck and it looks VERY DRAMATIC that way. I tried to style it that way but just couldn't get it to photograph well on<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">When I first saw my house I fell in love with the sun-room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Mind you it took </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>GREAT VISION</b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">to see past the wood paneling, shag rug and drop ceiling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All that registered in my mind was the enormous 3 pane windows, french doors and thick molding.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT!</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's the room I feel most connected to and that's why I chose to share it with you all first.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everything is a work in progress but I humbly submit these photos of the place in my home I feel most at </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="color: #6fa8dc;">PEACE</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite auction purchases, it's an antique </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>HOME SWEET HOME</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
embroidered "sampler" with a distressed gold vintage frame.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I found my vintage strawberry tole lamp on one of my thrifty adventures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pleased with the way it compliments the strawberry curtains inside the armoire.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found those at a yard sale.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This armoire was 10 years in the making!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's how long it has been since I bought it at the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Salvation Army.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was pregnant at the time and just <b><i>knew</i></b> I was having a <span style="color: #ea9999;">girl<span style="background-color: #f4cccc;"></span></span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had envisioned something similar to the picture above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As it turned out, I had</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: #134f5c;">TWIN BOYS</span>!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for years this was a dark yellow/gold color with rustic gold handles and lattice work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say, having twin boys didn't leave me much time for refurbishing furniture.</div>

Some day I hope to replace this black table with a <u>larger</u> marble top table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My books need more room to breathe!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hoping for an <b>Eastlake Table</b> with a <b>Carrera Marble</b> top.</div>

This is my little reading nook. I love to cozy up with some tea and spread my books out and look them over. The banquette came from <a href="http://www.ballarddesigns.com/"><b>Ballard Designs</b></a> as I couldn't find this one "thrifting".</div>

OK, I have to say it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's super distressed but has the GREATEST original hardware!</div>

It was filthy dirty when I got it home so I scrubbed it down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beneath the grime and some white paint was that floral spray in the center of the top drawer.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Selden Thrift </b></span><br />
is located in Selden, New York. It's part of a local chain along with 3 others stores. They have sale days where they will sell furniture for 50% off. They also have sale days according to the price tag color. Sometimes they ask astronomical prices for the items and other times you can get a great bargain.<br />

<br />
I think I did fairly well on this particular day! It wasn't on sale but I did manage to picked up this<br />
<b>diamond in the rough </b>for <span style="font-size: large;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>$12.99</b></span>!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/November%202010%20blog/?action=view&current=MontaukBlog024.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/November%202010%20blog/MontaukBlog024.jpg" style="height: 319px; width: 380px;" /></a><br />
<br />
OK, so it's not so pretty in it's original form but I had a <b>vision</b>. I knew I needed a bench for my sun room desk/vanity. It's where I sit each day to check my email, drink my tea and blog.<br />
The old chair looked well enough but I was wanting something different.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/November%202010%20blog/?action=view&current=SunroomPhotos071.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/November%202010%20blog/SunroomPhotos071.jpg" style="height: 520px; width: 390px;" /></a><br />
<br />
BTW, this chair is so<br />
"<span style="font-size: large;"><b>vintage awesome</b></span>"!<br />
<br />
My friend <b>graciously</b> and <b>generously</b> shared it with me from her grandmother's estate.<br />
I was going to refurbish it a little however, once cleaned, it was aged to perfection and the fabric on the chair matched my room exactly.<br />
So I did nothing more than clean her up!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/November%202010%20blog/?action=view&current=SunroomPhotos021.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/November%202010%20blog/SunroomPhotos021.jpg" style="height: 475px; width: 356px;" /></a><br />
<br />
I had found a wonderful piece of fabric several years back at an estate sale that I had been waiting to use in just the right space. This is vintage fabric by <b>Waverly </b>in the <b>"Millerton"</b> pattern.<br />
I just love the color combination!<br />
I'm pleased with how it compliments my desk/vanity.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/November%202010%20blog/?action=view&current=MontaukBlog026.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/November%202010%20blog/MontaukBlog026.jpg" style="height: 444px; width: 332px;" /></a><br />
<br />
So, with a little help from antique white spray paint, I was set out on a mission to transform this lackluster bench into a vision of loveliness.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here is the finished project......</b></span><br />

<br />

This organization is devoted to preserving the history of<br />
<a href="http://www.saint-anns.org/">St. Ann's Episcopal Church</a><br />
in <a href="http://sayville.com/">Sayville, New York</a>.<br />
I'm thrilled to be a part of this great work. There is much rich history that needs to be documented for posterity.<br />
<br />
One exciting aspects of this organization is it's recent triumph.<br />
The Historical Society was able to achieve listing of this church on the<br />
<a href="http://www.nps.gov/nr/">National Register of Historic Places</a>!<br />
<br />

<br />
This magnificent church was designed by architect <a href="http://longislandsurnames.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I12647&tree=Brown">Isaac H. Green</a> and was completed in 1888. It is Gothic-Norman style architecture. <a href="http://longislandsurnames.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I12647&tree=Brown">Isaac H. Green</a> was an important architect of the south shore of Long Island, NY. He was born in 1859 and was raised in Sayville, New York. I hope to feature some of his beautiful houses, churches and businesses in our area in the near future.<br />

I photographed the exterior of St. Ann's during my visit for your viewing. When I photograph the interior I will eagerly share them with you.<br />
<br />
There are magnificent Tiffany windows behind the altar which must be seen! It is my understanding that these have been authenticated as true Tiffany windows.<br />

<br />
Among the numerous interesting aspects of this church, there exists a plaque on the interior to memorialize a congregant who was lost at sea on the Titanic. The church sits on land which was donated by the Roosevelt family. The Roosevelt home <a href="http://www.sayville.com/meadow-croft.html">Meadowcroft</a> is located next to the church and is open for tours.<br />

In 1891 Isaac H. Green was hired as architect to design their Colonial Revival style mansion. Isaac's childhood home in West Sayville is extant while his own home is not. His childhood home is of significance as it was visited by President George Washington during his tour of Long Island, well before Isaac's birth.<br />

<br />
To celebrate the acceptance onto the National Register, St. Ann's congregation is planning a wonderful event in 2011 which among other activities, will include docent led tours of the church. I'll share the date once scheduled and I hope to see you there!<br />
<br />
In addition to the church itself there is the rectory, cemetery, labyrinth and 2 large buildings that were once used as boy's and girl's orphanages. Currently, the buildings are used for religious education, a thrift store and for church and community meetings.</div><br />

Once a notion makes it's way into my cranium, it can only be satisfied with delving deep into the topic. Last week I had the Gardiner family (my appetite hasn't nearly been satiated) and this week it's Stanford White!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/2006/01/01/stanford-white-murder-june-25-1906/" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/October%202010%20Blog/stanford-white.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
For years I have been wanting to find out more about this fascinating man. Because I am insanely addicted to real estate, architecture and history, I have observed numerous Standford White houses come on the market here in Long Island, NY. Viewing his masterpieces through listing photographs, I have become enamored of his talent. His buildings are exquisite!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 85%;">Washington Arch at Washington Square, Greenwich Village, NY</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 85%;">A place near and dear to my heart!</span><br />
<a href="http://ahistoryofnewyork.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-search.cgi?IncludeBlogs=1&tag=washingtonsquare&limit=20" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/October%202010%20Blog/arch.jpg" style="height: 252px; width: 369px;" /></a><br />
<br />
His work, life and death are beyond intriguing to me. So it is here that I begin my journey.<br />
<br />
Who was Stanford White?<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/thaw/ThawLinks.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/October%202010%20Blog/swhiteframe.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
For those of you unfamiliar with Stanford White, he lived from 1853-1906. He was an architect with the firm <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKim,_Mead,_and_White">McKim, Mead and White</a>. They built many types of buildings but were certainly well known for the exquisite homes they built for the wealthy families of the northeast.<br />
<br />
Stanford White was murdered by Harry Thaw. Harry was the husband of Evelyn Nesbit. Evelyn was a show girl who at the age of 16 began an affair with Mr. White, a married man. Harry shot and killed Stanford White inside Madison Square Garden in New York City, a building White designed.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mimifroufrou.com/scentedsalamander/2010/08/the_perfume_that_evelyn_nesbit.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/October%202010%20Blog/evelyn-nesbit-2.jpg" style="height: 486px; width: 332px;" /></a><br />
<br />
Following this incident, a salacious trial ensued. Evelyn testified about her relationship with Stanford White and Harry Thaw. One story she told was of Mr. White's penchant for show girls and how he would have them to one of his NYC homes where he had a red velvet swing installed for their use. Stanford's murder was considered <a href="http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/notorious_murders/classics/white/1.html">"The Crime of the Century"</a> and the trial garnered quite a lot of interest.<br />
<br />

Below are some of the materials I have obtained.<br />
There are plenty more books, movies and websites I intend to review.</span><br />

<br />
As I have been doing research on the internet I have come to find out that Stanford White is buried in VERY close proximity to where I live! He is buried on the grounds of <a href="http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=1094">St. James Church </a>in St. James, NY. I have also learned of his family home <a href="http://www.oldlongisland.com/2010/05/box-hill.html">Box Hill</a> which is also located in St. James, NY. This home is still within the White family. Yet another interesting fact is that White's wife, Bessie Smith White hails from the Smith family. The Smiths were early settlers of Long Island for which Smithtown, NY is named.<br />
<br />
So there you have it, my newest obsession... Stanford White.<br />

On September 3rd my blog featured some <a href="http://cottagecharisma.blogspot.com/2010/09/vintage-couture.html">Vintage Couture</a> I had recently acquired. If by chance you read it, you may recall the dress I referred to as the "showstopper."<br />
<br />
If you didn't, that would be my purple satin wiggle dress that I won on Ebay.<br />

<br />
After fairly extensive alterations I had the chance to wear it to my cousin's wedding. I truly loved it! Wearing it made me feel terrific. The fit may not have been as perfect as I would have liked but, it made me really happy. After struggling with my indecision, I decided to share the final product with you.<br />
<br />
For the <span style="font-style: italic;">LOVE</span> of vintage couture,<br />
I face my AVERSION for being photographed<br />

It has once again come back on the market. It had been sold after Gardiner's death in 2004 to Shahab Karmely for $9 million. After a $10 million renovation it is back on the market.<br />
<br />
The home includes 10 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms, central air and 4 fireplaces. It is situated on 5.5 acres in the town of East Hampton, NY.<br />
Asking price is $29 million!<br />

I did not feel like the interiors reflected the history of the Gardiners. I can't envision the Gardiner's living in the house as it is currently decorated. The photographs are still lovely and interesting to view so, go and check them out.<br />

I grew up in close proximity to a fabulous estate called <a href="http://www.sagtikosmanor.com/index.html">Sagtikos Manor</a>. During my childhood, it was the home of Robert David Lion Gardiner. I often gazed out the back window of my parents car at this breathtakingly beautiful old mansion. I wondered even then about it's contents and history. It wasn't until I was in my late 20's that I finally had the opportunity to tour this fascinating estate. There exists a rich history within the grounds of <a href="http://www.sagtikosmanor.com/index.html">Sagtikos Manor</a> that has captivated me. One can tour the estate located in West Bay Shore, NY.<br />

Over the years, I recall local news articles about Robert Gardiner who owned one of the local malls. He was an intriguing and eccentric man from all accounts. He titled himself as the "16th Lord of the Manor". This title did not apply to his ownership of Sagtikos Manor but rather to the private family island, Gardiners Island, located off of Long Island, NY. It's original name had been Isle of Wight. A great struggle within the Gardiner family existed during Mr. Gardiner's lifetime and his legal rights to this island were repeatedly challenged.<br />

<br />
In 1961 at the age of 50, Robert Gardiner married for the first time. He married Eunice Bailey Oakes, a widow and model from England. Neither of them had children. Lacking a legitimate heir meant Robert was unable to transfer his interest in Gardiners Island after his passing. At one point he attempted to adopt a distant adult relative. His attempt was unsuccessful and an heir was never produced.<br />

<br />
Mrs. Eunice Gardiner was nearly 20 years younger than Robert Gardiner. I have found information on Eunice's life prior to marrying Mr. Gardiner as she was the widow of <a href="http://www.niagarafrontier.com/oakes.html">William Pitt Oakes</a> who hailed from a prominent Canadian family. Mr. Oakes died tragically at the age of 28. I have been unable to document Mrs. Gardiner's life after Mr. Gardiner's death in 2004. If anyone has further information on her I would be greatly interested. I am captivated by the whole story.<br />

After my visit to Montauk, Long Island this summer, my interest in the Gardiner family was peaked yet again. I decided to do a little more research on the Island and came across the book; <span style="font-style: italic;">Early Memories of Gardiner's Island (the Isle of Wight, New York)</span> by Sarah Diodati Gardiner. It tells much of the fascinating history of this privately owned island which includes Captain Kidd's buried treasure, First Lady Julia Gardiner Tyler and a heroic rescue of a kidnapped Montauk Indian Princess.<br />
<br />
Sarah Diodati Gardiner<br />
<a href="http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/October%202010%20Blog/?action=view&current=sarahdiodatigardiner.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/October%202010%20Blog/sarahdiodatigardiner.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
As it turned out, in 1937 Sarah Diodati Gardiner rescued the Island from Winthrop Gardiner who inherited the island legitimately. Winthrop had become unable to pay the expenses and Sarah Gardiner paid the debts becoming rightful owner of the Island. She allowed her nephew Robert David Lion Gardiner and his sister Alexandra Gardiner Creel to use the island during their lifetime, however, the ownership would pass to their heirs upon their deaths. Robert Gardiner never had any children and he was unable to transfer his ownership to any other person. Mrs. Creel's daughter Alexandra Creel Goelets in the end is the sole owner of Gardiner's Island. It appears from all the research I have done, Mrs. Goelets is committed to preserving the island as it is and keeping it within the family.<br />
A fact which pleases this writer to no end! Hooray!<br />

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_Gardiner"><br />
Lion Gardiner</a> was the 1st Lord of the Manor. He arrived from England in 1635 with his wife Mary. Gardiners Island is the only American real estate still in tact as part of an original royal land grant from the English crown. The island has been in the Gardiner family for approximately 400 years. It is 6 miles long, 3 miles wide and has 27 miles of coastline.<br />

My very sweet thrift buddy gave me this awesome shabby looking frame. It has pink flowers, green leaves and just enough gold embellishment.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's a porcelain piece by Lefton. I fell in love with it immediately and thought about where to put it.<br />
<br />

<br />
I found the location but, what picture to put inside?<br />
<br />

<br />
I have 2 boys and I just don't think they would want to be displayed in this overly feminine frame. I decided to use a picture of my sweet little Maltese pup! Her name is Sabrina, in honor of the Audrey Hepburn movie of course! Okay and maybe a little bit of the teenage witch, being that she is blond and all.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of my precious little<br />
SABRINA CUPCAKE</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center; width: 480px;"><embed height="360" src="http://w303.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http%3A%2F%2Fw303.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fnn131%2FCottageCharisma_Blog%2F3110e5d3.pbw" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" wmode="transparent"></embed><a href="http://photobucket.com/slideshows" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" style="border-width: 0pt; float: left;" /></a><a href="http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/?action=view&current=3110e5d3.pbw" target="_blank"><img src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" style="border-width: 0pt; float: left;" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sabrina is 6 pounds, 2 1/2 years old and quite the Tom Boy. With 2 big brothers (of the flesh variety) to make her wild, she can keep right up with them. She loves to grab their socks and pull on them while they do their homework. If they aren't paying enough attention to her she will jump up on their pants and take a bite of the fabric as she runs after them.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">But with me she is different. She lets me dress her up in all the loveliest finery I can procure. Her clothes and accessories are a blog entry unto themselves!!</div><div style="text-align: center;">She loves to rest with me while I type away on this computer, snuggle up in my lap as I watch television and go for our morning walks.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">And the winner of the picture in a frame contest was..... (insert drum roll here) I just adore this little creature! I hope you approve of my choice.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20September%202010/?action=view&current=Sept10BlogYvonneHoya018.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Sabrina Frame 1" border="0" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20September%202010/Sept10BlogYvonneHoya018.jpg" style="height: 505px; width: 379px;" /></a><br />

It was a cutting from this fabulous indoor plant that she had. She received hers from a neighbor years prior and was unaware of it's name. It had shiny almond shaped leaves and provided beautiful pale blush flowers that came in a cluster. She explained to me that it took YEARS for hers to bloom. But once they bloomed I can attest, they were stunning.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />So, for 6 years my plant has grown beautifully in my sun room. It's shoots happy to intertwine themselves into the old sewing machine base next to it. I swore mine was going to bloom earlier but sadly nothing for 6 long years......

It's such a unique concept. If you enjoy Project Runway, you will be fascinated by this blog.<br /><br />Since my seamstress skills are non-existent, I am relegated to buy things ready to wear!<br />Below you will find my recent vintage clothing finds. I just LOVE the styles, cuts, quality and fabric of these lovely old frocks.<br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This is my dress form "Audrey", as she is dressed in her every day attire. Doesn't everyone wear their 1950's party dress to stand around the house? It's not like she is scrubbing the bathroom, but I really wish she would pitch in from time to time! Such the princess!<br /><br />This dress was an ebay find from a few years back. This sweet dress has a floral print with a pink sash and pink ribbon around the hem. There are no tags and it appears to be hand made. There is a slip attached to the garment which is sandwiched between 2 tiers of crinoline which is EXACTLY what makes it a PARTY DRESS!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog009.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 393px; height: 525px;" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog009.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This beaded collar belonged to my beautiful Aunt Rose. The tag on this color says it was made in India. It has fine metallic beading with garnet colored inset stones. My Aunt Rose had the best vintage clothes and I have been wearing them since I was 16 years old (let's just say it's been MANY years). One day when I get to my attic, I will pull out some of the super duper couture items she bestowed upon me. I cherish them as I do her!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog020.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 368px; height: 277px;" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog020.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This pearl collar belonged to my own Mother.

This store is petite in size but jam packed with style! If you live close by and love vintage clothes, you must stop in. You can purchase the clothes, bags, shoes and jewelry or, Linda does loan out some pieces for special events. She is a very sweet, kind and helpful shop owner. I highly recommend this boutique! It's a nice day trip with a girlfriend as there are a few excellent restaurants in the village and a great antique store across the street. The antique store was once an old vaudeville theatre and the current owners are trying to restore some of the stage back to it's heyday. Check it out!<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog021.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 383px; height: 511px;" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog021.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This dress I wore recently to my cousin-to-be's garden bridal shower. The pleating at the waist is so fabulous, something one does not see in today's garments. Even the fabric is superior as I wore this the entire day, out of state, in the car and the darn thing didn't wrinkle!<br />The manufacturer of this fun dress is Avalon of New York.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog025.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 371px; height: 494px;" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog025.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The following 2 items I purchase on impulse at <a href="http://www.cheapjacks.com/">Cheap Jacks</a> in Manhattan where I spent WAY more than I should have. They were impulse buys while on a day trip with a girlfriend to see a play. I have seen comparable black sweaters for much less at a local consignment shop. Oh well! Live and learn!<br />This black cashmere cardigan has a detachable fur collar, 3 hook and eye clasps at the waist and a dash of bling on the cuffs and clasp. I actually wore it the day I bought it as it was chilly out and I needed something. Hence the impulse buy.<br />The inside of the sweater is lined with off white lace and a layer of black chiffon.<br />The tag says 100% cashmere and the maker is Moritz.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog037.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 386px; height: 514px;" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog037.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This piece I absolutely love but I have to say, it takes an awful picture!<br />I can relate!<br />The color is a rich tomato red, not the neon color in the photo. This is a cropped jacket with vertical pockets on each side. The sleeves are great because they have a bell shape to them and can be worn straight or with a cuff. The tag only states, Bonwit Teller. There is no information on the fabric. It's a nubby texture. Please leave me a comment if you know what this fabric is called.

This amazing wiggle dress was won on ebay. It is handmade with an attached lining. It's a gorgeous heavy purple satin fabric. It cinches on the left which creates a pleating effect across the body. The length is currently mid-calf. I will be wearing it to my cousin's upcoming wedding but before I do, alterations need to be made.

They were asking a ridiculous amount of money for this set but it was my lucky day, it was on sale for half off! This will be the first time I wear it as it's difficult to pull off flashy rhinestones at the grocery store. I tried that in the 80's and I just ended up looking cheap and tacky.<br />The set included a pair of earrings which have the old fashioned screw backs. I need to get these altered for pierced ears before the big event. This ensemble came in it's original box. The manufacturer is Werbach and there is a label that states it was hand made.<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog051.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 380px; height: 507px;" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog051.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog052.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 379px; height: 506px;" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/hurricaneandclothesblog052.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">There you have it, a few of my favorite vintage couture treasures.

This beautiful old piece is covered with beveled marble and has dove tail drawers. The piece is on wheels and has beautiful carvings along the side. There are keyholes to lock the draws but sadly the key is missing. Also there must have been a mirror attached which is long gone.

In fact this past week has provided me some goodies I would love to share with you.<br /></span><br /></div><div align="center"><br /></div><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; display: block; height: 320px;" alt="" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/MontaukBlog013.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><br />I found this awesome wing chair at a thrift store. I got a GREAT deal on it! It was too good a deal to leave behind. Now where should this go? That part I haven't figured out just yet. I love the cottage, home spun inspiration of the embroidered fabric. The colors would work well in my sun room but there really isn't any room for it!</p><p align="center">UPDATE: I learned something new! This fabric is considered Crewel Embroidery which Wikipedia defines as: A decorative form of surface embroidery using wool and a variety of different embroidery stitches to follow a design outline applied to the fabric. The technique is at least a thousand years old.<br /></p><br /><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; display: block; height: 320px;" alt="" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/MontaukBlog014.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center">Until such time as it's home has been found. It's relegated to storage for now.<br /></p><p align="center"></p><p align="center"></p><p align="center"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; display: block; height: 320px;" alt="" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/MontaukBlog009.jpg" border="0" /></p><p align="center"></p><p align="center"></p><p align="center">I found these jars in a few different locations but they come together very nicely!

Low and behold, I came across this little gem. It's a wrought iron bench I found at a thrift store. I am going to reupholster the cushion and paint the base. </p><a href="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/MontaukBlog023.jpg"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; display: block; height: 320px;" alt="" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/Blog%20August%202010/MontaukBlog023.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div align="center">I purchased this fabric at an estate sale quite some time ago. I have loved this vintage Waverly pattern called "Millerton". I think I will use it on the bench.... it finally found it's home! What color should I paint the base? I'm toying with the soft cream yellow or the aqua. My dilemma with the aqua is it likely won't work with the banquette near by. What do you suggest?<br /><br /></div><a href="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/MontaukBlog027.jpg"><img style="text-align: center; margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 240px; display: block; height: 320px;" alt="" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/MontaukBlog027.jpg" border="0" /></a>Historically Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17463729763360280270noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545184169726783682.post-14684179374125335342009-05-02T13:39:00.001-04:002010-10-25T13:30:12.783-04:00Rate my Space<div style="text-align: center;">Please view my spaces on the HGTV website<br /><a href="http://www.athomewith.com/community/AVintageGirl/portfolio.esi?userid=40024933">Rate My Space</a>.<br />The photos could use some updating.

Life has kept me busy but, with the spring comes the itch to decorate, antique hunt and blog. It's always fun to share ideas and I LOVE getting ideas from all of you. Just because I haven't posted, doesn't mean I haven't visited many blogs during my absence.<br />Anyway.... I have been busy painting some VERY long overdue pieces of furniture for my sun room. I will post those in a blog shortly (at least that's the plan). I will need to add some new pictures of the sun room as I have nearly come to the point of completion in that room.<br />Through the wonders of Craiglsist I have found the most amazing store and Liz, the accommodating, kind and talented shop owner. If you have never been to her website and blog, please check it out. Even better, if you live close by, stop in, I promise you will be delighted.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nottooshabbynj.com/">Not Too Shabby</a><br /><br /><a href="http://nottooshabbynj.blogspot.com/">Not Too Shabby Blog</a><br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/?action=view&current=VanityinGreen.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 326px; height: 436px;" src="http://i303.photobucket.com/albums/nn131/CottageCharisma_Blog/VanityinGreen.jpg" alt="Green Vanity" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />So... on a recent trip to New Jersey, I went to Liz' store and found this gorgeous vanity for my sun room. I will be using it as a desk with my laptop. Don't you just love it? I do! :-) Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take it home just yet as I need a truck to get it home. Once I put it in its place I will take some photos and share. Finally, I can put up all the art that I have been collecting for that space as I know what furniture items to work around. I hope you like it as much as I do.Historically Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17463729763360280270noreply@blogger.com7
