English Embroidery - Centuries Of Excellence The art of embroidery was practiced many centuries ago and is still practiced today. It would be highly unlikely that today's collector would be able to find or purchase much that was made prior to 1650, simply due to lack of preservation of such works. If one was to locate such an antique piece, it would be very expensive, due to its rarity. Antique embroidery items of this nature can still be seen in museum-type settings or private collections. As one might expect time w... Let's Warm Up The Decor For Winter Summer its on the way out --- The cool autumn winds along with the beautiful colored leaves falling may start you yearning for a cozier warmer decor. Plus, we all know how quickly fall will turn into winter, with its cold and snowy forecast. Yes, it is definitely time to warm the place up Early fall is the perfect time to start warming up your homes decor. With the holidays pending, and all the added hoopla that accompanies them, it's wise to get started early. You might b... A Bit About Old Majolica The earthenware known as Majolica was derived from Chinese porcelain. It appeared in Italy during the last quarter of the 14th century. It is now believed that this type of painted earthenware was inspired by the Hispano-Moresque luster-decorated ware of Spanish origin introduced to Italy by Majorcan seagoing traders. Majolica is believed to have been derived from century's old Chinese porcelain. As early as the 13th century, Spain exported its tin-glazed Hispano-Moresque ... Get Out That Stubborn Stain Chances are you know about following the how to clean instructions on labels that are sewn into your cloths? But what if you spill wine, or find that you have a nasty rust stain on your new blouse or shirt? The first thought that may enter your mind, can I or can’t I use bleach safely? Labels at best tell you weather its safe to wash or dry clean only. Sometimes a label will mention if it's safe to use bleach or not. But much of the time there is no mention of bleach, or w... Joys Of Shopping In Thrift Stores Thrift stores (or charity shops as they are known in the UK) are a treasure trove of old and new; well-worn and pristine; cherished and discarded. Regular stores are so predictable – you know exactly what goods will be on display day in and day out. Thrift stores change their stock each day, so you can guarantee that you will see something different on every visit. And you will be sure as a rule to find many wonderful items that you will pay a fraction of the price you would ... Growing Choice Strawberry Plants One of the best loved fruits in many parts of the world are strawberries. Indeed, people from all walks of life truly enjoy the venerable strawberry. In addition to being a delicious fruit, the strawberry also is a fruit that can be easy to cultivate and grown. These plants can be a wonderful addition to any gardening program. If you are interested in possibly cultivating and raising strawberries, you need to pay attention to where you intend to plant your strawberries. In... Cool Down Your Decor For Summer Do you come indoors to cool down, but don't quite feel cool and comfortable, even though the air conditioners on? The room feels stuffy, and you just can’t seem to get comfortable? The way our homes are decorated makes a definite difference in the comfort we perceive (instead of actually experience). A light touch in decorating makes rooms feel cooler and more comfortable during hot weather and that will help you cool down, and feel comfortable in your home on the hottest sum... Help! My Old House Needs Updating There are many styles of older homes. All unique in their own special way, all attributed to architectural designs of the past. Should we always strip away older homes uniqueness? Design elements that once made the home not only an attractive place to live, but a home that was well sought after by the general home owner? Taking into account "what goes around comes around". Would it be perhaps wiser to try and integrate the old with the new? Making your home a place that conti... Our Feathered Friends Need Water Too There are so many ways to attract wild birds to your yard. One of the best ways to bring all types of birds a little closer is by providing them water. There are many birds that do not “snack” on birdfeed, so adding a water source will attract many kinds of birds. The easiest and most cost effective method to supply water for birds is to get a birdbath. Your local garden supply store should have a large variety of birdbaths available. If you are pinching pennies, you can a... Antiques vs. Collectibles Finding a definitive definition for both an antique and a collectible is not possible. Just what constitutes an antique and what constitutes a collectible is determined by each individual antique dealer. Many times, the dealers will give varied answers to the seemingly simple question, “What is a collectible and what is an antique?” Most dealers will agree that historically an antique is any crafted or manufactured item that is at least 100 years old. Collectibles are item... Jacobean Style Antique Furniture Jacobean is a term used to cover all English style furniture from the reign of King James I to King James II. However, throughout this span of time Jacobean furniture showed markedly different influences. The earliest Jacobean furniture was influenced mainly by Elizabethan (1603 -1688) styled furniture. Commonwealth Style (1649-1660) marks the middle of the Jacobean Period, when the furniture was of simpler design and undecorated. The late Jacobean Period is that of the Carol...
