The Seed Box in Warrenton

When I made my now twice-yearly trek to 

Antique Week in Warrenton / Round Top

a couple of weeks back, I promised you lots of pictures.

And I am more than happy to make good on that promise with yet another

post featuring another fabulous Warrenton dealer!

Welcome to The Seed Box Antiques, Warrenton branch...

{click all pics twice to super-size}

Based in Chadwick, Missouri, Brian and Meloney Russell
are veterans of Antique Week,

yet they bring something new and fresh with each visit.

I like to call their style effortless, fresh, farmhouse chic,
and after viewing these images,
I think you will agree.

It was top priority for me to track down these innovative folks,
as I missed them the two previous times I was here...and let me tell you,
they did not  disappoint.

See for yourself...

 And this dapper gent?

That would be Brian himself, one half of the genius
behind this amazing space!
He's actually on my iPhone here
talking to  Debra of Common Ground!

To see more, please be sure to visit

The Seed Box Antiques.

And remember, there's LOTS more Warrenton pics and posts yet to come!

Yep, it's the gift that just keeps on giving.  :-)

Happy Thursday!

Christie's Enchanted Cottage...Warrenton, Part 3

I'm continuing my posts on Antique Week in Warrenton

with a return visit to one of my absolute favorite ladies

of the entire show...

the beautiful, talented, generous, wonderful

Christie of Sommerfeld Place.

She's located just within earshot of both
Renck and Zapp Hall, and without fail...
year in, year out...she has some of the best displays
and merchandise to be found anywhere.

I absolutely love her as a person, and as a fellow dealer,
I have the utmost respect for Christie and her amazing skills.

So whattaya think?
Shall we enter Christie's little white cottage of wonder?

And the beautiful lady responsible for all this ethereal loveliness?

There she is!

Last year at the Spring shows...I was there selling as a dealer...
I tried to make a daily run to Christie's amazing cottage.
I shopped and gabbed and just admired her stunning handiwork.
And even though I tried my best, I didn't convince her to start a blog.
Shoot!
Double shoot!

Anyway, once I returned home, I did a feature post on Christie,
and you can find it right here.

When I entered Christie's space a couple of weeks ago,
I was immediately drawn to this gorgeous Madonna on the left...

But I was mindful that we were there to see old friends and snap pics, for the most part.
Money is a wee bit tighter these days, what with the new house and all.

So I resigned myself to only admire The Blessed Mother from afar.

{sigh}

But now I have to brag just a bit...(hope you don't mind, Christie!)

Before I left her cottage, Christie told me to close my eyes
and hold out my hands, and what do you think she did???

She GAVE  her to me!
I was speechless and practically in tears.

There's Mr Twig holding her right there...

And here she sits at our new home...

Thank you Christie, you surely blessed this Catholic girl's socks off!

If you find yourself anywhere near Warrenton or Round Top
for the Spring 2011 shows,
please make it a point to visit my friend, Christie.
And tell her I said hello, by all means!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
