A giant 18-wheeler pulled up to our warehouse last week and dropped a chock-a-block forty-foot container on our doorstep - and we couldn't be happier! Even though it's pure chaos trying to sort through the merch, receive pieces into inventory and figure out what's what, we have it down to a science (all thanks to our wonderful inventory manager, Marlon, who makes the 200 or so boxes and crates magically unpack themselves.) It's so much fun seeing the treasures we sourced in Paris and around France - it's a little bit like Christmas in February.
Our buying trips go one hundred miles an hour, include about 500 kilometers of driving (Meg drives, Ann navigates) three or four different hotels, lunches on the go and zillions of iPhone pictures. And we wouldn't trade one minute of it.
We see it all, from tastefully displayed objets in civilized stalls to mirrors, chests and chairs literally stacked in piles in a warehouse or at a fair. It's tough work, keeping our heads on a swivel and our eyes peeled for all the treasures, but somebody's gotta do it!
Here's a little taste of what's at Huff Harrington and at our space at Foxglove Antiques on Miami Circle:
A perfectly perfect faux bois planter from the south of France.
These goodies, and lots more, are right here online, at Huff Harrington (at the Galleries, right next to ADAC) or in our booth at Foxglove Antiques on Miami Circle. Happy hunting!
