Back to School Shopping

The Blandings boys are back in school, so I went shopping! Last week, I stopped in to see Barbara Farmer and her new shipment at Parrin & Co. Barbara's pieces are always pretty and often striking. She carries antique and vintage pieces; it's total heaven, especially if you are a Francophile.


19th c. English pine - $2400.




White marble table lamps, $350/pr.


Circa 1950's $450.

Barbara's chic. Barbara's lovely. Barbara is not on-line. If you have a crush on something you see, give her a call at 816-753-7939.

    Yes, her shop, and it's owner, are terrific. Peak - she usually has a few really great sunbursts - and Anne - the fretwork is my current fav.
