Shopping at Dovetails in Naples, Florida

I just returned from an eight day visit to Naples, Florida, where my mom lives.  The weather was unseasonably cool, so we had no choice but to go shopping!  I had no complaints, because we discovered the fabulous shop Dovetails Estates & Decor, newly opened by friend Kathleen Pica at 20 Tenth Street South.  Kathleen is the owner of Auctions Neapolitan and Gallery and is a certified appraiser and auctioneer.  Kathleen has put together an exquisite mix of old and new treasures, as you will see.

The size of the vintage mirror is evident as I photograph myself in it:

This charming cardboard fish is actually a puzzle that comes unassembled.  Once completed, it looks great mounted on the wall:

Beautiful white glazed pottery mixed with enamel flowers by artist Tommy Mitchell:

Colorful packages of small items including fireplace matches:

Trays with natural themes, and framed butterflies:

More gorgeous enamel flowers by artist Tommy Mitchell.  He was featured in the Bergdorf Goodman catalog recently:

Dovetails sells furniture too, including this needlepoint chair and burlap covered ottoman:

There were several poses of these porcelain male forms in the shop:

The vintage chaise lounge had an exquisite embroidered satin fabric upholstery:

I thought this chair was very attractive:

And this chair was extremely attractive!

There were several chair choices at Dovetails, including this upholstered example:

Wall art.  Something different than paintings and prints:

New china with a botanical motif:

 

Colorful bowls:

Lampshades made of burlap with a bee motif in front of a colorful painting:

An amazing horse figure stands in one window of Dovetails:

Although I've shown quite a few pictures, there's still a lot I haven't shown at Dovetails.  Kathleen has a wonderful selection of jewelry and small items perfect for gift giving or to treat yourself.  Her experience as an auctioneer and appraiser give Kathleen the expertise and discerning eye needed to assemble the eclectic mix that is Dovetails.  I hope that you'll make a special point of visiting Dovetails when you're in Naples, no matter what the weather is like!
