The countdown is on! This Sunday, April 28th marks the opening of the
Aberfoyle Antique Market. As always, I am very excited and I would like to share with you some of the gems that I have found there over the years. Whether you are in the market for accessories, furniture or just a good day out, you will find it here at Aberfoyle.
Fabulous Furniture
It's no secret that
furniture today is rarely built with the same integrity, uniqueness or quality of the past. Times have changed but it doesn't mean that we have to sacrifice our values. At Aberfoyle you will find rare items that have been made by a careful hand in many different finishes.

Small teak dresser with brushed brass contemporary hardware |
|
French Provincial Style furniture with classic, feminine curves |
|
Beautiful Blanket Box, cedar inside and lots of intricate carving on the outside |
|
Look for 'Dovetails' usually indicate a well made piece |
Lighting
Look at these industrial beauties and imagine the possibilities for them in your home!
|
Look for ones that with little or no rust that will clean up easily |
You can either keep the industrial look throughout an entire space....
Or make an eclectic mix with bold hits of colour.....
Alternatively, put them in a place completely unexpected...
Odd and Sods
There are so many random items at Aberfoyle that even if you aren't looking for anything specific, there will definitely be things that peak your curiosity. There may even be things that make you go hmmmm....

Old electrical fireplace heater to keep you warm..imagine this painted a bright funky colour! |

These would look great hung on a wall, even perhaps as plant holders?? Repurpose and use your imagination! |
