Veteran’s Historical Plaza’s Mascot Gets a New Pair of Sticks!

William J. Johnston ca. 1850, aka “Willie the Drummer Boy”

Willie was born in 1850, and during the Civil War in 1861, left home to be by his father’s side and serve as a musician in Vermont’s third Infantry, Company D.  At the tender young age of 13, Willie was the seventh person and still the youngest ever, to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor.  Willie’s citation read in part: “It was during a disastrous retreat after seven days of fighting, when strong men threw away their equipment and ran — Willie held onto his drum to lead the troops on another day.”  He was the only one to do so.

Antique Talk: Vintage Furnishings

Antique Talk: Vintage Furnishings

When I owned my retail antiques business, I tried to devote some furniture inventory for first time homebuyers that were new to antiques.  They wanted to incorporate items into their decorating style and wanted to be different.  They sought value and wanted functional items that they liked and appreciated. These buyers were on the younger side and most likely the bulk of their income went to mortgage and vehicle payments, childcare and utilities.  They did not have money to burn.

We at B&R Gallery hope you had a good winter.  Now that the weather is warming and spring is here, we are planning for the upcoming months and summer fun.  B&R Gallery and Custom Framing is also busy ordering new and exciting art for its collection.  I have just returned from visiting Art Expo New York in Manhattan with the President of the Greenwich Workshop, Scott Usher, Vice President for Sales, Vinny Grabowski, and Sales Representative, Steve Resnick.  I brought in the exciting new line of art from Greenwich, which includes new art by Howard Terpning, June Carey, Judy Larson and many other Greenwich artists.
