Hope you are not getting bored with my "hunting" trips! I certainly am not (don't think that is worded correctly. Better than I ain't ) Little trip into Boston lead me to this charming store in Cambridge called American Dural. They have two floors of wonderful, rare, hard to find vintage pieces. What really drew me here was that I had heard they were carrying antique "hotel silver" cruise ship cutlery from a steamship that once crossed the Atlantic. This ship was called "France". Oh, how romantic! Don't you think? It plays right into my fascination with period pieces and love of antiques.
Many gorgeous pieces to swoon over. Everything is so splendid!
They carry wonderful rare mahogany pieces of furniture. I am always amazed at how well these pieces are made. The craftsmanship and details are very impressive. These pieces are so solid! No fiberboard here...thank goodness! There is way too much throw away furniture out there!
This powder blue chair was calling too me...take me home! My more sensible side won out. I have to stick with what only is necessary for now. This would be a complete splurge. It was so much fun wondering around this cute area of Cambridge, MA. I stumbled upon some other shops that I will post later. I hope you enjoyed my "hunt".
P.S. We have been dealing with all the water that has decided to visit us in our home recently. Running around to Home Depot on my own has been interesting. It seemed that the whole of Massachusetts was there buying flexible black tubing, or pumps. Our lovely sump pump couldn't handle all the water and now we have three of them running at once so it doesn't over flow into our basement for the second time. My basement looks like a disaster area. Rug is pulled up and wet stuff everywhere. Ugh! My chimney is also leaking water into my attic! So, I hope I can share some more posts soon. I may be a bit distracted! Keeping my fingers crossed that all this nonsense will work it self out, I don't want to be away for long...stay tuned readers! {One saving grace is that it is going to be sunny and in the 70's here soon. Enjoy this long awaited spring!}
Wish me luck~
