TweedleDee Antiques & Such GRAND OPENING

  Fair Haven is a-buzz about its new shop !  TweedleDee (antiques & such) is about to open its doors on Sunday, August 19th  at 2pm. The store, located at 810 River Road, is the brain-child of Laura Kent, former designer and longtime antiques collector.

Kent has done her best to preserve and enhance the original interior archectecture and details of the enchanting post-revolutionary building. Two brick fireplaces, beamed ceilings and wide planked floors add to the cosy charm of the rooms.From the plaid chairs at fireside to the tiny Sewing Closet, TweedleDee has something for every pocket and every interest.The seven rooms are chock full of treasures and each room has its own personality and purpose.

The Fireplace Room, warmly decorated with country furnishings and accessories has small surprises tucked into every corner.The Porch, with its pale periwinkle walls, is the perfect place for those who love Cottage Chic, linens, porcelains and crystal.

 Wander thru the sparkling Jewel Box and the tiny retro Kitchen and into the intriguing Library. Replete with antique and vintage books, African sculpture,Middle Eastern textiles, watercolors, paintings and ephemera, the Library offers a peaceful haven to browse to the heart's content. And a Sewing Closet, tucked  into the corner of the library, is chock full of tools and supplies, vintage fabrics, buttons and  patterns for those who love textiles and the sewing arts.

And then there is a TWIST ! The last room in the back of this charming early 1800's cottage is Muddy-Puddles, "just for fun!" . A room, says Kent, for the community to gather and share ideas, take a class or two ( or teach one!), host a meeting  or give a lecture. Bridge clubs, book clubs, language clubs, all are welcome. Artists and artisans are encouraged to fill the space with one man/woman shows. Already planned are Appraisal Afternoons, Antiques & Tea, origami, sewing and painting classes. Other ideas and suggestions are welcomed!TweedleDee's
