Happy New Year!
As we begin this new year we'd like to take a sentence or two to
thank everyone who helped make 2010 a successful and exciting
one. We've worked hard and have had some wonderful times in the
process. We feel extremely fortunate.
As we have for several years, Jan and I ushered in the new year
with an intimate New Year's Eve dinner in front of our keeping
room fireplace. Click on the panna cotta if you'd like to see
pictures of our feast.

Our 2011 Calendar of Shows and Events
As we've written several times in this newsletter,we've been
reducing our dependence on shows by devoting our energies and
imaginations to our website and the special events we hold at
our shop in Conway. This year's calendar reflects this change.
At the present time, we're scheduled to exhibit at only eight
antiques shows, a significant drop from last year's eleven.
We've also added a Winter event at our shop in Conway, which
will round out our schedule of Spring and Fall Openings and
our Tax Holiday Weekend sale. This new show, which is only a
month away, will stray somewhat from our usual format. We're
excited about it, and think others might be, as well. See
further details below.
Our shop is open by appointment through the Winter months.
Our website is open 24/7.

A Special Event on February 12
Climbing the Walls?
Because of the success of our annual Spring and Fall Openings,
we've been considering ideas for a mid-Winter event in our
shop that could complement them. The initial impetus for this
year's event, which we hope will be the first of many, was the
acquisition of a significant group of paintings by Dennis
Sheehan, whose paintings of New Hampshire landscapes have
always been personal favorites but are a bit out of context
for our England-based openings.

Upcoming Shows
This weekend we'll be in Wilmington, MA for the January
installment of Marvin Getman's Boston Antiques & Design
Show, a large and diverse show that attracts great
crowds of shoppers. Click
here for more information and a discount card.
One of the pieces we're bringing to the show is featured in
"Look What I Found", the antiques blog by Vintage Val. If you
haven't already read it, click
here.
For a number of reasons, we've dropped the Concord Armory show
this year, but we'll be at Tolland, CT, as usual, on February 6.
We hope to see many of you at one of these shows or here in
Conway on February 12. |
