           Not everything is black and white  - Donna's Diary                               Mercantile at Infusion NH coming in October 

Not everything is black and white:  Well it is in this local New Hampshire House. Industrial mixed with 18th Century and new.

I wanted to share with you a recent experience I had visiting a home. This gentleman had been a customer of mine for years , buying silver, Asian items and early furniture etc. I never thought twice about how he was decorating with the items. Now I know......

I have to say that I am not a reader of magazines for decorating myself. I kind of do what I want and sometimes it works and other times it doesn't.  For me it's about the fun of collecting and the intrigue of re-creating.

I have a friend in Manchester N.H. That I found to be in my league. If you had described to me his decorating style I might of just thought “not interested” but to see it for myself I am impressed !

His name is Tom and I was lucky to be invited to his home. He had said .....READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE AND VIEW MORE IMAGES.....

Donna's Diary: Bring home the camp......  June 2010

A contemporary decorating trend is to create a camping environment …. Lodge-style furnishings, antique camping, fishing and hunting equipment, etc.  Following are a few ideas you may wish to consider.

Look for rustic camp furniture - a rocking chair is a must.  Think porch.  Think lake.    Also, Adirondack style furniture will be very effective in setting the tone for your rustic camp décor.  A simple twig or wicker chair or table will serve you well.  To this you might add a couple of old camp blankets.   In the 1940’s and 1950’s many companies manufactured blankets with an outdoors motif or an American Indian motif.  A couple of these blankets stacked on a shelf, or one thrown over an old overstuffed chair will greatly add to the camp............

Community Outreach

October 14th Wednesday :  WOW is what I want to say first. What a large and great group of people we shared the afternoon with.  Today we spoke to the October 14th  WOW is what I want to say first. What a large and great group of people we shared the afternoon with.  Today we spoke to the Retired Educators and Administration from the Manchester N.H. Area. There were over 170 people in attendance and I have to say it was a little overwhelming at first. But when I began speaking they made me feel so comfortable and relaxed.  Nice crowd, nice lunch, and great conversations. I want to thank Joyceann for inviting us to the event at The Yard Convention Center for this meeting. Wednesday : Looking forward to seeing some of those retired teachers in the shop soon.  Donna          ...Read more...

Hippo Press Editorials

For a couple of years now I have had the pleasure of writing a weekly antiques and collectible column for a local weekly paper here in Manchester N.H.  The paper is The Hippo and the name of my column is Treasure Hunt. It is based around people writing in to find out what antique or collectible they have and possibly a value for it .  It has been so much fun, and some of the antique items have been very interesting, so I thought I would share some with you and I hope you enjoy reading them.

If you have an item that you would like to have me look at, feel free to send me a picture and some information and I will get back to you.  Please CLICK HERE to read my latest "Treasure Hunt" article and those prior.

Webster House

In 1884 the Manchester Children’s Home (Webster House) was founded. The mission was to provide a safe home for children who were unable to live at home. The home was founded by local churches in the area who identified the need and took the necessary steps to create the home. The Amoskeag Mill Corporation then the biggest employer in Manchester partnered with the churches and provided the land for the home to be built on.  This fine example of community partnering is what has allowed the children’s home to flourish over the past 125 years. Webster House has been able to continue its mission of providing a healthy home for children because of the community’s long standing willingness to help us out in good times and bad. The home is licensed by the State of New Hampshire and receives funds for services for the boys and girls that come to live at the home. Funding covers the basics, and that is where the community has stepped up to fill in the gap so the home can continue to provide the best possible services for children and families in need. I myself having lived there for several years know first hand what help they can be to a youth. I am currently on the board of directors as a way of paying it back. I want to thank all of the people that have donated to The Webster House on  behalf of From Out Of The Woods  Antique Center. If you are looking for more information on The Webster House (children's home ) please feel free to call for a brochure or a tour. 603-624-8668  The Webster House  135 Webster St Manchester N.H. 03104
