Antiques Vintage & Garden Show and the Art of Tablescaping with India Hicks
Posted on
Visiting the Antique Vintage & Garden Show
Last week, I had the pleasure of attending one of my favorite events here in the Orlando area. Every year, the Council of 101, an organization within the Orlando Museum of Art, holds the Antiques Vintage and Garden Show at the OMA. Many antique dealers, orchid growers and outdoor garden purveyors show their wares, and on the first day of the show there is a luncheon and a guest speaker.
This year’s speaker was India Hicks, daughter of famed English designer of the 60’s and 70’s, David Hicks. The famous family members don’t stop there—her mother is Lady Pamela Mountbatten, the youngest daughter of the 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, and her Godfather is Prince Charles. She was even a bridesmaid in Princess Diana’s wedding! It goes without saying that India Hicks has lived a fascinating life.
India Hicks and the Art of Tablescaping
I must say Miss India Hicks did not disappoint! The focus was her beautifully written and photographed coffee table book, Island Style (the follow-up to her earlier release, Island Life.)
Her stories of growing up on the English Countryside in a grand (GRAND!) Manor (Manse!), vacationing with her grandparents in India (her namesake) and anecdotes of a father who set the tone of design for the Mod 60’s were all absolutely captivating. After seeing the world, India ended up settling on Harbour Island in the Bahamas in a beautiful home she and her partner renovated.
The interior photos of her island home are stunning and showcase her laid-back decorating style and finesse. She is particularly adamant about her collections and her “tablescaping”, a term coined by her father.
The art of tablescaping is something we have been doing at Collage Home for quite a while now. It’s a perfect way to merchandise many of our treasures. Personally, I believe that it’s a splendid way to show off your prized objects—art, photos, books, vacation souvenirs, or whatever strikes your fancy. As the late David Hicks said, “It isn’t a matter of just connecting random objects on a table. Each object must be of first rate quality in itself; otherwise it really doesn’t work.”
Collage Home is great place to start adding to your collections. Our unique artifacts and objets d’art are ready to mix into your personal treasures! A good rule to collect by happens to be our golden rule here at Collage Home: “It’s in the Mix, Not the Match.”
Until next time,
Angelyn

Like is in the Air this Valentine’s Day
Posted on
“There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done. Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung. It’s easy…. All you need is love.”
Ok, ok, I’m sure you get it—it’s hard to avoid the fact that Valentine’s Day is coming up this Sunday. At Collage Home, we love the spirit of Valentine’s Day and the positive emotions centered around February 14. It’s a day that seems to be associated with being in love, significant others, husbands, wives, married couples, “peoples” in love…. and that’s great! But, who says Valentine’s Day can’t be about like as much as it’s about love?
We give a thumbs up to almost everything these days. We “Like” what people eat, what they wear, where they go and what they do. We “Like” the music we are listening to, even if we’d love to give a big thumbs down to the one song that puts us over the edge (for me, it’s MacArthur Park). One thing that’s hard for me to get used to is that we even “Like” when someone posts something tragic. We “Like” just as an acknowledgement.
But, I digress. Back to the point: Valentine’s Day should be spent with those you love AND those you like! Your family, your BFFs, your “almost” BFFs or, heck, even your pup or kitty can be your Valentine! To me, Valentine’s Day is all about sharing the day with those who make you happy!
Collage Home is filled with gifts for the people that you like most in your life, regardless of your relationship status. So, grab a throw (we have a gorgeous selection) and wrap up with someone you like or love on this special day. Put on some tea (did I mention that we have beautiful tea sets, too?) and share a spot or a pot with someone you like. Better yet, buy yourself a beautiful orchid and keep it for you and only you. Yes, we have those, and you would never know they are faux! Why not treat yourself?
As Walt Disney once said, “The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, and that makes you unique.”
Happy Valentine’s Day from Collage Home. We hope that you have a “thumbs up” day, and that your heart is filled with like this holiday.
