A Cornucopia of Primitives and our very own Harvest Moon Candles!

179 (2)
Just over the border from MA, in the southern NH town of Brookline, there is a wonderful old New England home lovingly cared for by Maria Cardillo and John Nealon.  Attached to their primitive décor store, Country Culture, the home houses their  collections of antiques and prims. Each fall, Maria adds to it’s charm when she totally transforms their home with fall and Halloween décor. Every single shelf and surface was just a photo-op waiting to happen. Here are a few more photos of their home for your enjoyment!

It’s a Wonderfall Life…

and it was a wonderfall day when we headed west over the Hudson River to New York to photograph Loretta and Ray Spiak’s gorgeous home last fall! Just looking  through the trees up the long driveway, I knew I was in for a treat!

Don’t forget that this coming Saturday, Audrey and I will head to South Hadley, MA and we’ll be at the Cat’s Cradle Country Shoppe,  265 Hadley St {route 47},   from 12-3 to sell and sign the fall issue. Please come by and join us!

Please come back early next week to find out more details about our first candle offering and for some additional peaks at another shoot from last fall. This time we head north just over the border in  NH for lots of prim eye candy!
