Carried Away Antiques

Informational post: ALL of our signs are our original designs, and made by us (me) by hand. They are made on 19/32nds thickness wood, and trimmed in wood. We pick the wood specifically so that it’s beat up and has flaws. They all have layers of paint and are hand sanded and finished with a multi step finish. We cut the shapes out ourselves. We don’t provide picture hanging hardware unless stated. They are substantial and not light. Yes we can ship them. We are happy to share paint colors BUT our layering of paints and added finish WILL affect the tones. When things are completely normal, ordering time on these is 3weeks. (Things are no where near normal right now so check with us on what can be ordered). IF YOU ARE ORDERING BUT ARE IN A RUSH, PLEASE DONT ORDER. This is an unprecedented year (health wise which restricts my work) and I’m sure we will be making some of these designs again in the New Year. I don’t want to disappoint anyone but there’s only so much I can accomplish. Please reach out through DM with any questions and we have several new designs and older designs in our highlights. 😊

We’ve got lots of new friends with us now which is wonderful- I thought we could answer a few questions here. We are a very small family business with over 30K followers. By very small I mean myself my daughter Chloe & son Hayden. That’s it. We work 7 days a week to keep the business going as this is how we support our family. If you are joining us now, this year has been a bit different as I’ve had some heath issues and heart surgery etc etc. BUT we are still going! MESSAGES: We get SO MANY messages every day on both Instagram and FB. We try to answer everyone as quickly as possible but sometimes it takes a few days. In addition to order and shipping questions- I get messages every day asking about things people want my opinion on, how to fix things, how to find things, how to source things. I get questions on prices of things in other shops. I get messages more often than you’d think from people standing in an actual shop at the time asking for my opinion on what they should purchase. (Yes, seriously) I don’t mind these messages, but please understand that staying on top of these is a full time job in itself. I swear we are trying ALWAYS to get questions answered. It doesn’t help at all to send a follow up message with a million ??? Or a hellllloooo??? I feel like that should be obvious but just in case, try to not send those. (Thank you 🙏🏼) I’m struggling to think of a polite way to ask for people to not send the rude and completely out there disrespectful messages. (🤔) SALES: We do our best to post preview pics and advance notice for sales coming. We always recommend turning on notifications if you don’t want to miss out. You can purchase or order through our direct messages- (website is not active yet) One of us will communicate with you directly. We use Square for secure invoices sent to your email address, or Venmo- your choice. Invoices are due on receipt. We will gladly ship. Some items we have packed by UPS (for added protection) and we use a discounted service to ship. Everything ships insured. We want you to be happy with your purchases. Ask questions and we are happy to send additional pics as needed. Thanks for being here!!

INFORMATIONAL POST We will try to post preview pics before sales but only the sale post will have info and pricing. DM to purchase or with questions please do not comment sold. We accept Venmo if desired and use Square to send invoice to your email address for all sales. Invoices will be sent within 24 hours and are due upon receipt. We unfortunately just do not have the time to chase people for payment- after 48 hours we will move to the next person in line. Shipping is calculated after packing and billed separately. Most of our items are fragile and will be taken to our local UPS store for secure packing. We have no control over how long they take but we’ve found it’s well worth it for the items safe arrival. All items ship with insurance against damage. In the sad event of items arriving damaged or broken, we are happy to help you file a claim.

It’s not Friday. I could have sworn it was-but I guess not. It’s good though, because now I have one more day to do stuff before I am officially “so unbelievably behind”. This time of year is a JOY 🤣 ANYWAY, we’ve got the last of the sign orders going out, shipping invoices should all be out- and we’ve got a bunch of additional signs that are somehow left over- all ready to go- that we will be posting tomorrow- (maybe previews tonight in stories) We found another great metal reindeer in the barn and dug out a few of our giant bells- and we’ve got some antique baskets and bins coming tomorrow as well- 😊 Stay tuned! #salecomjng #collected #collections #christmasinspo #christmasdecor #christmasideas #christmascharm #magnolia #farmhousechristmas #christmasvibes #vintagechristmas #bhgchristmas #farmhousecozychristmas #christmashome #howiholiday #fleamarketstyle #vintagechristmasvignette #simplechristmas #christmascharm #bhgchristmas #americanfarmhousestyle #bhghowiholiday #woodsandwhites #myvintagestyle #oldchristmasdecorations

I’ve been getting lots of inquiries about my new china and I’m so glad you all like it as much as I do- I stumbled upon the designs just recently in a random table setting group on FB. The person had the horses on their table and of course the hunt for them was on! The dishes are made by Spode- and these are from their Woodland series. There are so many gorgeous designs-it was difficult to pick the best 12. The dishes are beautifully mixed with plain ironstone and my brown & white transferware pieces- I couldn’t be happier. They are the perfect combo of casual and elegant- which I strive for in all aspects of my home design. They look just right even on my table with the paint remnants of a year of sign painting still visible-(I will get the table top refreshed eventually) I found a vendor on EBay and was able to buy a set of 12 dishes that arrived quickly in the original packing from Spode in England. Let me know if you’d like the info- (I’m just waiting on the guy giving me permission to share his business name) I took pics of all 12 of my designs- I can’t wait to go back and order the salad plates next… #tablesetting #christmastable #spode #usethegoodstuff #christmasinspo #christmasdecor #christmasideas #christmascharm #magnolia #farmhousechristmas #christmasvibes #vintagechristmas #bhgchristmas #farmhousecozychristmas #christmashome #howiholiday #fleamarketstyle #vintagechristmasvignette #simplechristmas #christmascharm #bhgchristmas #americanfarmhousestyle #bhghowiholiday #woodsandwhites #myvintagestyle #oldchristmasdecorations

I wanted to make sure I mention one of my favorite discoveries this season- @mainstreetvintagenh - (the shop owner Lisa is lovely and has some great finds)and the shop is the home of some wonderful vendors particularly @green_house_vintage and @vintagehome.nh . Chloe and I have been going once a week I think. We found both our sweet old sleds (shown under the kitchen work table and on the dining table) there but most importantly when I saw the paper garlands and snowflakes made by Dru- I knew I wanted to use them on every tree throughout the house! I am thrilled with the calm and peaceful feeling we get from the simple paper ornaments- and the nod to the simplicity and wonder of childhood is perfect for the season. 🤍❄️ #shopsmall #supportlocal #supportlocalbusiness #christmasinspo #christmasdecor #christmasideas #christmascharm #magnolia #farmhousechristmas #christmasvibes #vintagechristmas #bhgchristmas #farmhousecozychristmas #christmashome #howiholiday #fleamarketstyle #vintagechristmasvignette #simplechristmas #christmascharm #bhgchristmas #americanfarmhousestyle #bhghowiholiday #woodsandwhites #myvintagestyle #oldchristmasdecorations

Decorated for the season and ready for Christmas!

Working on a Christmas tour of our home for this year- but boy does it take so much work to have the house all clean while there’s 5 adults and 2 dogs living here 🤣. I got a nice start today though- but it took me so long to get everything ready that I just about lost the light- so I’ll finish up tomorrow. Our work island table in the kitchen is showcasing one of my recent treasured finds- it’s an oversized F&S swan decoy- from the very beginning of Fred’s career. ❤️🦢 #christmasinspo #christmasdecor #christmasideas #christmascharm #magnolia #farmhousechristmas #christmasvibes #vintagechristmas #bhgchristmas #farmhousecozychristmas #christmashome #howiholiday #fleamarketstyle #vintagechristmasvignette #simplechristmas #christmascharm #bhgchristmas #americanfarmhousestyle #bhghowiholiday #woodsandwhites #myvintagestyle #oldchristmasdecorations #christmashome #holidaydecor

I’ve been putting off getting my office finished- no reason really other then being way too busy to get to it- but I promised myself I’d be able to decorate the room for Christmas so that’s some pretty good incentive. We still have to get the ceiling painted- and I’m going full color drench in here so it’s Cracked Pepper everywhere- and I’m dying to see the results- a few more days I think and we will be ready for the fun stuff. I can not get enough of this gorgeous color and holiday greenery- I think you will love it too. #projects #colordrenching #darkandlovely #antiques - [ ] #moderncountry #moderncountrystyle #curatedvintage #curated #mycountryhome #farmhouseinspired #farmhousestyle #farmhousedecor #myfrenchcountryhome #countrylivingmagazine #countryhomemagazine #vintagedecor #vintagehomedecor #fixerupperstyle #cozyhome #farmhousefresh #vintagefinds #woodsandwhites #elevatedrustic #curatedhome #antiquepine #casualelegance
