Welcome to the Country Dreamer

      Sit back & relax. We hope that you will enjoy your visit with us and are pleased with what you see.

      Here you will find a small sampling of reproduction furniture & wonderful year round & seasonal country accessories to fill your home. Some items will be “one of a kind” and others may be ordered "off the shelf".   Feel free to contact us and as always, we value your opinion.

      We believe in destiny and it is no coincidence as to where the road leads.   What you do, who you meet and being at the right place at the right time can change your life forever.  My passion has led us to meet some wonderful people & and be in the company of some fabulous talented artists.  So to all those people who play a part in our lives, who have been so good to us, encouraged and supported us over the years, we want to take this

time to thank you.  To those who have kept our home & inventory filled with the most unusual & interesting items, we thank you.  To all those shop owners, dealers & craftsman who were before us and have laid the foundation of what country is all about, who have set such good examples, we thank you for the knowledge that you’ve shared, your ideas that have motivated & inspired us and most of all, for the friendships that have developed.

      And last but certainly not least, we thank our loyal customers whom we’ve met over the years, who have become such dear friends, for without you, none of this would be!   You nourish our creative spirit and fill our hours with delightful & exciting conversations.  You are so special to us!

      We hope to continue pleasing you.

The recognition of folk art as a special category came about during the late 19th century and was at first limited to the so-called peasant art of Europe, the “art of the land.” The new intellectual climate of the time, with a romantic value attached to the simple life and the “folk soul” and the increasing spread of democratic or nationalistic ideas, brought the art of the common people into focus. It was recognized that their simple tools, utensils, and crafts had aesthetic aspects. *
