and George...


I am in an organizing fervor right now and just ran across Christy Ford's business card.  I had stopped in to say Hi before Thanksgiving at her gorgeous shop, And George, on Ivy Road in Charlottesville.






The shop is a mother-daughter effort, brimming with antiques, 









one-of-a-kind finds,



great furniture like this custom American Black Walnut table,






this antique French settee,



William Yeoward crystal,



art from Abby Kasonika,













an array of captivating textiles and accessories,



and of course, George.

Such an amazing shop, and I love the dog! The black walnut table is fabulous, and there are so many things that I would love to have.
Thank you for sharing. Headed over to visit the online store.
Happy Wednesday.

The hand blown eggs are awesome.
My other fav is the William Yeoward crystal.

Hi Teresa, I love that table too. Gorgeous.

DiAiTD- Hi, so glad you stopped by! Thank you!

Virginia Country House said...

Tina- I agree, I am just mad about that blue-grey tufted chair!

Karen- It's a fun shop. I spent some time on line also looking at the Aubusson pillows.

Hi Sherry! Thanks for dropping by. Don't you just love it when there's a dog or a fat yellow cat lying about in a shop?

Such beautiful things, there are really no shops like this up here, I have to trail to London for everything. Even flights to the US!
