HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT

The holidays are fast approaching...and I hope you will put T. David on your list of places to visit  There are many gift items in the shop...as well as fun and wonderful things for the home and bar.

This will be the last holiday season for the shop.  T. David Collection will be CLOSING mid January 2017.

It has been 12 years of following a "dream" and being able to share a part of myself, my creativity and style choices with everyone.  I genuinely appreciate all the love and support so many have shown me...and all the many wonderful compliments to the shop.  Hope to see you in the future.   Peace, TOM

S A L E

The Short North End of Summer Sale is in progress for the next week...through Aug 21.  I have items discounted from 20-50% off....both furniture and accessories......Hate the way sale looks...but can be fun to shop!!

Cool Vibe

Sort of a vintage Asian vibe....the wine rack....stacked pieces...in metal.  Also the red and black plates a really nice with the words around the border.....

What if.......

Wouldn't it be fun to have a shop like T. David Collection come to you?  This could be done through home parties...a mobile store....or some type of special event.  Would love to hear your ideas about this.....as I dream.  To me it would be an alternative to online shopping as there would be no "parking issue", no need  to drive even.  You would still get to touch and feel and experience the goods...in a more private setting--be it your home or a mobile unit or even an event space.  Would love to hear your thoughts on this......tdavid@tdavidcollection.com is the shop email

Wonderful Spring.....It's Here!!

So many fun and useful items for spring entertaining in the shop now.  Plates, glasses, of course barware......new and vintage for everyone...NOT JUST MEN.   Samson's Men's Emporium is a men's retailer sharing space with T. David Collection now....and many people think that T. David Collection is just for men now......not true.  We have the same selections as always...just half the space to display since sharing.  Please don't miss out!

Culver Glasses

Love it when I find Culver glasses.....they are the best!!  Mid century with  22 k gold.....Find them now and then, and these 2 sets are exceptional.  They add the right panache to any bar.  Cheers!

Vintage Glassware

How about a martini in these beauties?   Vintage stems with gold stripes.  So interesting how much smaller the glasses were in the past....

SPRING...A Wonderful Time!

I believe tomorrow is officially the first day of spring.  It's so wonderful we can enjoy the awakening of the earth with grass greening, flowers blooming and mother nature showing her beauty in so many ways.  Some new items in the shop are pictured below.

To Everything There Is A Season....(and a season change)

It's that time of year when the seasons change and we get restless for something new.  It may be a new outfit...a new attitude...fresh flowers...or even a new house or job.  Funny how that works...but every now and then we need something to shake up our lives.  It's been long enough since the new year began that we pretty much know if we are keeping any resolutions we made.   I have found that at least thinking about things I love and enjoy help  keep a positive approach to things.  Sometimes going out and experiencing nature or trying a new restaurant or even visiting an unfamiliar area of town can be refreshing.  With the shop...there is always opportunity to switch things around, remerchandise, and bring in new things.  The same can happen at home as well.  Before we know it....summer will be here, windows open, and wonderful outdoor get togethers.

Mid Century Cabinet

This cabinet...in Asian style is very versatile.  It has 2 doors with a shelf and 2 drawers inside.  The drawers are felt lined, so could house silver wear.  The storage area is tall enough for bottles..as a liquor cabinet.  It could be used even in a bedroom as clothing and accessory storage.  Sits on a black base, unattached.  A very nice clean look.

Recognize Anything Here From The Past????

A Penguin Ice Bucket....Cutting Board....and Glassees Set.......Nostalgic!!

We Are Open Once Again....

We are open after a 13 day closure due to water problems we faced.  Things are just about back to normal...and after a complete redo of the shop...laughingly cleaning every extension cord....we are feeling pretty good about the shop again.  February Gallery Hop was last night...and we had a decent crowd.  It was a beautiful sunny day out and we were pleased to be open.  Thanks to everyone who sent good thoughts our way and came out to see us and shop.

Water Leak Causes Temporary Closing

On Friday Jan 22 early in the morning a sprinkler head broke in the rear ceiling of the shop.  Water gushed thru the ceiling in the back room and flooded the entire floor...front and back.  It was flowing out the front door onto High Street.  We reacted as quickly as we discovered it--not knowing the time it really happened--and started sweeping and mopping up water.  Fortunately many things are elevated on risers, and shelving...etc so little to no merchandise suffered damage in the 1/4 to 1/2 in of water that covered the floors.  Rugs were soaked...and taken immediately to professionals for analysis and cleaning--the outcome to be yet determined.  Because the floor in the showroom is a floating laminate floor, it all had to be taken up for drying purposes.  For 3 or so days  many fans and dehumidifiers ran to dry things out.  The bathroom had to be completely gutted.  We await the insurance decision about our new flooring and the timing.  We certainly hope to be open before the February Gallery Hop.  This has been such a shock to both T. David Collection and SAMSON, who shares the space.  We appreciate your continued support....and hope to be up and running ASAP.  We are so thankful for the slower time of year and the fact that we suffered little personal damage through this ordeal.  Don't forget about us!!!

2016 IS HERE

The holiday rush is over and the decorations have been taken down...both here in the shop and I'm sure in many of your homes.  Thank you for your continued support of the shop.  It was good to see so many of you during the shopping season.  If you are feeling down, or feel like your home needs refreshing, then stop by and see what we have that might give the right touch.  As always there is barware...a new hip bar cart in metal and glass as well as some silver plate and other accessories.
