Merry Merry Christmas!!!

Antique Exchange home & design will be open through Friday….and everything “Christmas” is 50% off….so come get those last ornaments for the tree or some beautiful hostess gifts.  The store will be CLOSED Saturday, December 24th through Wednesday, December 28.  We will reopen Thursday and Friday the 29 and 30th, but close again for New Years Eve and New Years Day.  See you January 3, 2012!!    Enjoy your holidays, whatever they may be!

Fall is here….wet, wet and more wet.  Come  in out of the rain and find something for  yourself or a gift to chase away the rainy day blues!  We have many new items - despite the rain, fall has been BUSY here. 

October 7th is First Fridays in Hampden. 

Along with some special sales we are hosting a Stella & Dot show - a repeat of the successful show last spring. 

Come see the amazing jewelry they have for fall.  Show hours are 11-1 and 6-8…though the jewelry will be here all day.   Drop by during the day or make it a night out - restaurants and stores throughout the area will have sales and specials.  Check out some of our newest items….

Available in orange truck canvas as well

Earthquakes, hurricanes, start of school….nothing can stop us from celebrating First Fridays!!  This Friday, September 2nd come in to Antique Exchange to help us clear out for fall.  We will have a $5 table on the front porch, all upholstered items will be waaaayyy marked down and every single pillow will be $40 or less.  Jewelry will be half off and other items marked down as well.  It’s time to start anew with  fall items and we need floor space!  Here are some pictures of items that are yet to come….we have a large estate of amazing antique items and new items arriving from our trip to the New York Gift Show - the new, current items you want to mix in with your classics to keep it fresh and lots of holiday gifts.     So come in Friday to save and visit again in late September to see the new items….there’s something for everyone.

August is just about here…that often means Baltimore turns into a ghost town and business is slooooow…..but we have just aquired an entire estate and need to make room for hundreds of items come September.    That said, bring on the sales!! 

While our hours are limited in August - please note we are closed on Tuesdays - the sales are plentiful.  Just today, I put those little green half-price stickers on LOTS of items. 

In honor of summer, all lanterns are half price as well - spruce up that patio or porch.  Upholstered pieces are 30% off (at least) and pillows are still half price.   And since no one wants to think about a fire in the hearth right now, all fireplace equipment is half price.   

In August, we head to the New York Gift Fair to find all sorts of new and interesting items for the fall and holiday seasons…so we need to make room!   Please email us if you are looking for something special or know of a great line you’d like us to carry….we will look them up in New York.  (wesley@antique-exchange.com)  Finally, the next time you are on Facebook - go to the Antique Exchange  - Home & Design page and “like” it.  We are hoping to use this as an easy way to keep everyone updated with sales and events.

Enjoy your August and come see us at the Antique Exchange - Home & Design. 

Please note our August Hours

Wednesday through Saturday 11-4 & Sundays 12-4.
