We had the most wonderful time at 1824 Antiques Christmas open house this past weekend. David and Audrey are the kindest and most welcoming hosts. They really go out of their way to make everyone feel special.
The doors opened Friday evening at 6pm with a line waiting to get in. Many antiques and primitives everywhere. Lots of pretty Christmas greens and arrangements for decorating. Candlelight tours of their private home, with ham cooking on the open hearth. Also to enjoy were cheese and crackers, local apple cider, cookies and much more. It was delightful!
Saturday proved to be a most pleasant day also with a nice steady flow of the best customers. More chatting happened on this day with lots of friends coming back from the night before. The only thing missing was a few snow flurries or even flakes here or there. That darn sun was shining, can you imagine?
Thank you to all who came. We love and cherish our time and friendships with you.
Below are a few pictures for those who could not make it. I hope you enjoy.

| Everything was so pretty. I can't even capture it in these pictures. |

 |
| I will have a few of these on my website soon. |
 |
| Denise, Melinda, Darlene, and Kate had their lovely wares in the co op shop. |
 |
| It looked beautiful, with so many pretty things. Christmas music was playing. They had wine, cookies and coffee also. I wish I had more pictures. While I was taking this, there was a line of people right outside the door staring in at me waiting for the doors to open. I snapped this one and the next, and got the heck out of there! |
 |
| Henry James was not the least bit concerned about the line. |
 |
| Good friends and good times....who could ask for more? |
 |
| Wishing you all a very merry Christmas season! |
