What's New This Week?

These wonderful pair of older statues on bases
It is really hard for us vintage retailers to pull together a cohesive look in between seasons. And though there is still YES Snow on the ground, (I can't believe I just said that in Central Texas) spring is blooming here at Bloom & Bee Swanky. We have a really unique and eclectic gathering of one-of-a-kind finds and I am only going to leave you with a few quick shots. We are really busy unpacking new shipments of both old and new every day and preparing for the HILL COUNTRY VINTAGE HOME AND GARDEN FAIR! Keep reading the following posts on more information on this special event.

A pair of these darling sconces

Several Vintage Lamps just arrived ALWAYS newly rewired and ready to go. The photo does not do this one justice - it is Huge!

Debi just put out this gathering of vintage gold frames today and I know they won't last long
