One of biggest draws over the 20 years of the Country Parlor Holiday Home Sale was the pottery of Walter Leonard, who called his business <b><i>Worthy Vessels</i></b>. Sadly, Walter passed away a few years ago, which left an emptiness not only in the show, but in our hearts. We are happy to announce, however, that Walter's wife Sandy will be selling the last of Walter's vessels at the Home Show this year. The inventory includes mixing bowls, honey pots, mugs, and much more -- all works of art as well as utilitarian household items. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please join us on November 25, 26, and 27 to celebrate Walter's life and legacy.</div>The Best Holiday Show on Long Island!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02043615267111894887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520743486248600905.post-7707711569785810832011-11-15T14:36:00.000-08:002011-11-15T14:45:50.411-08:00The Time is Drawing Near!Thanksgiving is almost here and Christmas won't be far behind.

Remember the magic of unfolding the funny triangle from which we cut seemingly random bits, and the thrill when our mom let us tape them to the window as part of our winter decorations? Well, Maria Brisotti never forgot that thrill, and she has taken the art of paper cutting, known as Schereschnitte, to the next level.<br /><br />Here's what she has to say:<br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />Scherenschnitte (pronounced shear'en-schnit-tah) means scissor cutting in German.<br /><br />This art tradition was founded in Switzerland and Germany in the 16th century and brought to colonial America in the 18th century by immigrants who settled mostly in Pennsylvania. It continues to be a popular craft that has appeared through the ages in ethnic paper producing cultures.<br /><br />My fascination with scissor cutting began in 1992 when my best friend and fellow crafter Christine, who had discovered this new craft for us to try, introduced me to it. I began tracing and cutting designs and have continued to do so these many years. I have always given my cuts as gifts and my first experience with selling was last year at the Country Parlor Holiday Home Show. As an elementary school teacher, I used the art of scissor cutting with my students and then with German students in our local high school.<br /><br />The cutting is done using both scissors and x-acto knives using a variety of techniques: cutting mirror images on folded paper, unfolded designs cut in reverse, or a combination of both techniques. <br /><br />In spite of the many tedious hours I spend cutting the variety f patterns, Scherenschnitte is may favorite handicraft.</span><br /><br />Come see Maria's lovely creations in person next weekend. Barbara and her crew will have the beautiful Naugles barn dressed for the season and loaded with treasures for you to take home. <br /> <br />Friday, November 26, 2010, 9 AM to 3 PM<br />Saturday, November 27, 2010, 9 AM to 3 PM.<br /><br />We're looking forward to seeing you!The Best Holiday Show on Long Island!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02043615267111894887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520743486248600905.post-16441067349904341452010-10-25T08:13:00.000-07:002010-10-25T08:31:24.056-07:00November is Nearing . . .<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVPNc04tk5R-SlSLh6EfoiWWu-qRIv-UEONza96RIaXRW9CblAc3a4WQonGmghVi7dddrtbc9555JYVtMv01cseBF1EuUTuEuDSNJQ-wkbOH6tXCbJ9FdmIzYPyJ4S7-y1YoJmupzKBA8F/s1600/cphhspostcard1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVPNc04tk5R-SlSLh6EfoiWWu-qRIv-UEONza96RIaXRW9CblAc3a4WQonGmghVi7dddrtbc9555JYVtMv01cseBF1EuUTuEuDSNJQ-wkbOH6tXCbJ9FdmIzYPyJ4S7-y1YoJmupzKBA8F/s320/cphhspostcard1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5532004766765454242" /></a><br /> <br /><br />. . . and so is the 19th Annual Country Parlor Holiday Home Show! <br /><br />Our artisans are hard work making magical merchandise for you.

Suzanne hails from Idaho, a long way from the shores of Peconic Bay and the Country Parlor Holiday Home Sale!<br /><br />Suzanne is multi-talented: she not only paints beautiful portraits and silhouettes, but she also makes charming dolls -- all while home schooling her children!<br /><br />When we unpacked Suzanne's boxes on Monday, everyone in the barn was oohing and ahhing over her careful craftsmanship . Every painting is perfectly framed. Her subject matter ranges from children to Santa to soldiers!<br /><br />If you can't attend the show this year, you can visit Suzanne at her website: <a href="http://www.peartreeprimitives.com/">Pear Tree Primitives</a> and on her blog: <a href="http://peartreeprimitives.blogspot.com">Pear Tree Primitives</a>The Best Holiday Show on Long Island!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02043615267111894887noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520743486248600905.post-26338892696868465962009-11-24T08:17:00.001-08:002009-11-24T08:26:26.390-08:00It's Almost Time for the Country Parlor Holiday Home Sale!We spent yesterday unpacking boxes of goodies from as far away as Idaho and Tennessee in preparation for this weekend's sale.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif1v-NSoDSYW_2W7qkjGsqcYDtbiom-JQkn82bwmjlV2vRj3W4XEuviX2KC1StwvX0viPJOWAWoDz2dI5V4p3_jLeaXlciCvr1e67I4SxMbVnS4yAOKcof6gOOGCbj7RHFALCV9WDY1-Gg/s1600/unloadingCP.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

This is the entrance to Basket Garden Farm, the home of basket maker par excellence, Barbara Blossey Chuvalas. If you follow the drive around to the back, past the horse barn that is home to Mackinac, Cimmaron and Dewars, you'll find Barbara's cottage. It's filled to the beams with cane and reed and hand-made baskets in varying stages of completion, along with a big bag of carrots for the horses. If it's cold out, the wood stove will be going, and a cat and a springer spaniel (Barbara and her husband Ron rescue them) will be curled up there as close as they can get. In the summer, there are flowers galore around the drive, and the horses will whinny and snort until you stop to pet them. Barbara not only creates her baskets here, she teaches classes, too. It's a cozy and convivial place when classes are going on.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvR8gWKJO31PcV1SUUWBenykBcqQYnSWNnA827f4ylgrhD6RsXj1MrbOsHSSpAdMfxyaEx5lH6G_-1Bdo3f4tTTvCLDP2ZTKs7s-vWcRtOXBS0Nf6w1RTJdLeoe2PB-7jY4lyvcxDL7W12/s1600/IMG_2659.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvR8gWKJO31PcV1SUUWBenykBcqQYnSWNnA827f4ylgrhD6RsXj1MrbOsHSSpAdMfxyaEx5lH6G_-1Bdo3f4tTTvCLDP2ZTKs7s-vWcRtOXBS0Nf6w1RTJdLeoe2PB-7jY4lyvcxDL7W12/s320/IMG_2659.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405837961590203122" border="0" /></a><br />For information about classes contact Barbara at rbchuvalas@aol.comThe Best Holiday Show on Long Island!http://www.blogger.com/profile/02043615267111894887noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520743486248600905.post-76414977607319484122009-11-18T08:07:00.000-08:002009-11-20T06:47:02.152-08:00Welcome to the Country Parlor Holiday Home Show!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP2Z19ADbVenqWkNBDJnvbg6D2UFZFu42bPPGRxt7BcHHu-uYeArlGC3uCWKYqcfdJEU_Dz5B4PuljjCU2zMiL-hfX_eyFxeHcZbwzZy5Dez1Clk7CROeFyWl-96VDn9eKsm5K9jRKIhdZ/s1600/Count.PAR.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP2Z19ADbVenqWkNBDJnvbg6D2UFZFu42bPPGRxt7BcHHu-uYeArlGC3uCWKYqcfdJEU_Dz5B4PuljjCU2zMiL-hfX_eyFxeHcZbwzZy5Dez1Clk7CROeFyWl-96VDn9eKsm5K9jRKIhdZ/s320/Count.PAR.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405478304902121154" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Welcome to the new online home of the famous Country Parlor Holiday Home Show!<br /><br />The Country Parlor Holiday Home Show begin 18 years ago in the front parlor of Barbara Blossey-Chuvalas' turn of the century Italianate farmhouse on the North Fork of Long Island.
