First Flight of Dragonfly - April 15th thru 17th

Sister-in-laws,

Leslie and Alycia Matthews are making their dream come true. We’ve always wanted to have an antique business together and on Thursday, April 15 through Saturday the 17th we begin our new adventure - “Market on Dragonfly Hill”. Leslie has always called her home “Dragonfly Hill,” the name comes from all the dragonfly’s that whirl around the property.

The Market on Dragonfly Hill will be a unique shopping experience, set in Leslie’s beautiful new barn that she and her husband Tony built, located up their winding drive in Byfield. It’s a once a month, 3-day event, from April through November. Each month is a new theme - this month’s Grand Opening theme is “Swing into Spring”. Outside of the barn and in the greenhouse will be filled with patio and gardening delights.

Leslie has been an antique/vintage dealer in shops in and around the Newburyport area for years, she is also one of the dealers at Flukes & Finds & Friends in downtown Nbpt. Alycia is an artist that works in papier mache sculptures, which she will be featuring at Dragonfly Hill, but she also likes to get her power tools out and create new furniture from old pieces. Leslie and Alycia both like to be “Green” by repurposing and refurbishing old furniture, giving it a new life.

We also have eight local antique dealers setting up their wares inside and outside of the barn too. Treasures both old and new; Vintage furniture, refurbished, repurposed, shabby chic, cottage and cabin style, collectibles, linens, art, jewelry, and so much more.

What makes Dragonfly Hill unique is that every Saturday of market, local artists and handcrafters will be setting up their tents on Dragonfly Hill’s lawn for an Artist Market, beginning on Saturday, April 17.

It's Valentine's Weekend

What a beautiful day! The sun is shining and there is no snow on the horizon!

Don't you think it's a perfect time to get out and shop for your "Special Someone"?

Dragonfly Hill is presently doing business at Flukes & Finds & Friends, in Newburyport. We have tons of great furniture, jewelry, linens, vintage keepsakes to choose from. Take a walk downtown, enjoy a meal at one of Newburyport's fine eateries and then go do a little shopping, at Flukes and don't forget to ask where "Dragonfly Hill's" spot is. I will be working all day Saturday, so I hope you stop in and say hello .
It's also the Annual Eagle Festival. There will be a lot of Free Family Fun things to do all around town.
Thanks!
Leslie

Have a great trip Cyn!!

Yikes, We have some really cool stuff in the shop right now you should check out. Great comfy sofa's, dressers, very country french dinning-room set. So much. So hope everyone is hanging in with what seems like an endless cold snap. Spring will be here soon and now is the time to start planning your own new personal awakening.
Our great pal Cindy is heading off to Egypt on Monday, she tells us something about a hot date wit King Tut. What a great adventure she has in store for her. I don't know about all of you but I'll be eagerly awaiting all the pics and stories. This will be something to talk about for sometime to come. Our beloved Miss "V" is off on an adventure of her own. She and her husband Hank will be "down under" for the next 4 weeks. I hear it has been a life long dream for Hank. I'm sure it will become a dream come true. And then there is Gail, she has jetted off to Mexico, a place that her heart calls her back to yearly. She and so many other wonderful folks go and help to educate children who would otherwise be forgotten.
Looks like we will be in the lucky group this weekend. The snow will stay south of us.
Have a great weekend

Winter Chill

Hello and happy weekend. Wow is everyone shivering too! But don't fret it doesn't keep the spirits here at Dragonfly Hill down. We are really getting into some serious gear. Just alittle over 2 months and the "Once a Month Market Place" on Dragonfly Hill will be open for biz. We are bringing in some great local artisans in addition to some really great Antiques, Collectibles and very Green Refurbished furniture and accessories. Hope everyone has a great weekend and go Super Bowl!!

Hope Everyone Had a Merry Christmas

Well the Big Day is over and the New Year, New Decade will be upon us which will bring new beginnings. Most of us will be making our resolutions. Mine is to carry-out the Dream of Dragonfly Hill. April will be our kick-off. We will be inviting guests dealers to join us during the warmer months. It will be a wonderful combination of in-door and out-door venues and venders. There will be booths inside of the barn, under the overhang, and in tents on the lawn. We will showcase wonderful old and refurbished furniture and collectables. There will be whimsical florals, hand crafted paper mache creations, jewelry, clothing and so much more. It will be magical. I am so excited about this. I look forward to waking up every morning and getting back to the barn and working on another fun project.
The updates will be coming much more frequently. Alycia and I don't want you to miss a thing.

Everybody's Working for the Weekend

Good Friday everybody! Looks like we are in for a beautiful weekend. Well we have started to unearth some of our Christmas treasures. They will be appearing daily until the big reveal Friday November 20th. It's our 28th Annual Christmas Tide. Now I know that you who have come in years past will be there early Friday morning to make sure you don't miss a thing. We have been hoarding some really great old fashioned Christmas items for you. Beautiful old glass ornaments for your tree, Wreaths for your doors, wonderful serving pieces for entertaining. There will be a fabulous collection of evening bags. Just right for that Holiday party. Have you noticed a little nip in the air? Stop by and check out some of the neat vintage fur coats. They will keep you toasting on those long frosty days and nights. Well much to still get ready for your shopping pleasure. See you this weekend!

"Though we may roam far and wide, our hearts come home at Christmastide".
