Dixie Find: Beach Pillows

Sea creatures. These are fun but not too loud. Handmade and asking $450 each, but the store is having a 40% off sale. Christa's South Antiques on Dixie.



These needlepoint pillows are my fave (there are two of them). Asking $200. Elephant's Foot Antiques on Dixie.

Dixie Find: Shi & Erhard

431 Bunker Rd.
West Palm Beach, FL
(561) 588-7288

Shi & Erhard is by far my favorite shop on Dixie. Part of the fun of antiquing is digging through the rubble, and this place is so dig-friendly. He honestly doesn't have a thing that's "flat", if I can use a musical metaphor here. It may not be your style but it has style. My favorite finds:




HOW INCREDIBLE IS THIS TABLE??? I'm gonna say "industrial cafeteria"? It's in pristine shape. All four connecting chairs swing out from under the table with ease and the decorative iron legs give it just the right touch of femininity. White glass top. Asking $6,500.


Peach, velvet Hollywood Regency love seat.


ELECTRIC red-head. Asking $200.

Dixie Find: Bamboo and Rattan

Found a whole set of indoor/outdoor bamboo seating in this fabric at Bamboo and Rattan on Dixie. Reminded me of the big leafy wallpaper I've been seeing in a lot of design mags/blogs. And also of the Gucci Spring/Summer '09 ad campaign (above). Joe (owner) has a ginormous roll of it just sitting in the store waiting to be snapped up if anyone is interested. We had an awesome chat. Says he just sold a whole truck load to Johnny Depp for his latest Hunter S. Thompson movie, The Rum Diary. Evidently they're filming it in Puerto Rico. I'll be front row at that one...
