    Thank you for telling people the history of Hichcock. Being here in New England i am happy to own original chairs. My mother taught early NewEngland arts stenceling and theorum painting.

      My pleasure! I enjoyed learning more about it. It sounds like your mother was very skilled! I love theorum painting - it's simple, but classic!

    Your box is gorgeous and perfect for the table. I'm so happy the owners let you share their antique shop. It is fantastic. Have fun setting up your booth space, and I am excited for you!

    I love the injected history in your channel. The Hitchcock segment was especially interesting to this life long Connecticut resident as I’ve seen many pieces of furniture over the years but not the story behind them. I’m thrilled about “the box”, it’s perfection. And I always enjoy seeing the furry members of your family, such sweet faces.

    Always love seeing sweet Licorice. I have really been enjoying your little tidbits of information about things in your area. I have heard of Hitchcock furniture but knew nothing about it, but now I am going to check out a book from the library and read about it. You are never too old to learn something new. Would like to know more. I fell in love with the box you bought for your bedroom.

    I loved hearing how you were collecting your furniture and finding them at consignment shops. I started my own collecting at age 19 the same way and found Queen Anne walnut pieces. I sometimes had to pay for them on layaway. At one point I had a corner cupboard and a dining table (with legs removed) in my bedroom. My parents said they thought it was time I had my own apartment since I was already filling my bedroom with furnishings. I later added a buffet and an armoire that had gorgeous carving in the wood, which is what I always looked for.

    Thank you for the lesson about Hitchcock furniture. I remember when we went to visit the family who lived near Canaan they were talking about Hitchcock furniture. I believe her mother sold Antiques. That was the first time I heard about Hitchcock. I didn’t know they were made in Conn or if it did I forgot. I got out the map to see where Riverton is and actually it isn’t very far form Canaan. I love your new box and it makes a lovely vignette on the table. Always fun to learn new things.

    How incredibly cool you have that piece of history!! In all honesty, that was an investment to be treasured for generations. Those cats look majestic with their "winter fluff" on. They both have beautiful coats!! I wish UA-cam had a better word than "subscibe"......people feel there's a monetary obligation with a "subscription". I hope you reach your goal!!

    You're your Hitchcock box is to die for I have Hitchcock chairs. There's before they went out of business. They're not well. We bought 4 black ones and they're all different. I think they're the same pattern. They all put where they're made in the year or whatever on the back and then those are black. Cause my kitchen has a lot of grasian Tuscan like style. And then I have some brown ones that also are stenciled and I love them but, but that was a nice trip down memory lane. I never did make it to the museum.Or maybe we did go there once long ago, but I loved what you got and I love that teapot that your friend gave you.Actually all the things she gave you were quite lovely. So excited to see you in your booth can't wait to go up there.I'm gonna get one of my caretakers to bring me up someday.Once you're open , that will be fun. You take care, stay warm.Stay safe and happy Thanksgiving to you.And eric and zathat❤❤

    I really enjoyed this video. I love the Hitchcock box and it is perfect on the table. I love Hitchcock furniture and my kitchen set is Hitchcock. I have a small round table and four green stenciled chairs. I’m not sure of the age but probably from the 50s. The chairs from this series were black, red, yellow, green and I think cream. They are the most comfortable chairs to sit in. I can’t wait to see your store space when you curate it with your beautiful pieces. I loved seeing the cats in the basket and when you were looking at it I imagined them inside.

    If you ever get a chance to go to Riverton the Hitchcock building is there. Right down the road is Peter Greenwood Glass Blowing Studio. You may buy his creations and/ or take a lesson. He is in the building that was a church and then the Hitchcock museum. My husband had a glass blown g lesson and loved it!!! Yes my house is full of Hitchcock pieces too.

      Haha! I'm not going to give the exact amount, but I will say it wasn't the sort of money I usually pay for anything. Between loving the box, having the perfect spot for it, and being more than a little bit in love with the history link, I was willing to pay up in that particular case.

    • @WorthingtonHome
      @WorthingtonHome  2 місяці тому

      Yes, I'm aware of that - it's so sad. I'm comfortable purchasing Amish furniture or other inanimate objects (quilts, etc.), but would never buy a dog from anyone without fully checking out the breeder. (Unless I was adopting from a shelter, of course).
