The Enchanted Collection of MacKenzie-Childs

While strolling through the High Point Market showrooms I shrieked when I saw this showroom !!!

It was the MacKenzie-Childs showroom . . . oh happy day!

I strolled through and asked the very lovely ladies who were the representatives . . .

~ ~ if it was fine that I took pictures (as some vendors do not allow photographs).

They so graciously obliged and I snapped away!!!

You cannot feel anything but “happy” when you are in the showroom . . .

~ ~ or in the actual store in New York City.

Whenever I am in New York City, I make it a point to visit the MacKenzie-Childs store . . .

~ ~ I buy an item as my “treasured souvenir”

Her signature black and white check is my absolute favorite!!

I love how the design of the birdhouse have checked, chevron, and striped patterns.

As in all the wonderful designs of MacKenzie-Childs . . .

~ ~ these birdhouses depict her style of magic, enchantment and sheer beauty.

She is such an incredible talent and who cannot help but smile when you see her designs!!!

I did !!!

Hope your day is filled with magic and enchantment!!

    Hi Shirley and I’m so glad you’ve had such a great time! Oh, you can’t help but smile when you see MC things. I can’t imagine being in this showroom! Wow, all of the precious sweet things. I had a friend who loved MC and had her kitchen painted all designed to be MC everywhere. It was like being in a fairy tale! ๐Ÿ™‚ Can you buy things from the show room? Did you?
    Be a sweetie,
    Shelia ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Fun and whimsical for sure though i find this kind of thing better to look at than to own. I envy your going to the High Point show. I’ve never been there when one was occurring and have wanted to.

    I do remember waiting outside her store in NYC for what seemed like forever for you to make your first purchase HaHa!! But it was wrapped beautifully. There is a MacKenzie-Childs Christmas store at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs that you would love!

    I love Mackenzie Childs! A few years ago I had a friend who burned my tea pot. So after that I decided to treat myself to something gorgeous from Mackenzie Childs. I love it! Whenever I look at it makes me happy. I just got the new catalog too, needless to say I was drooling. Have a wonderful weekend Shirley!

    Oh how pretty and magical everything is in her booth. What young girl would not love this bedroom set. Don’t let you sweetie see this, or she will want one.
    I would so love to go to High Point, but I am afraid that I could not do that much walking, but thanks so much for sharing MC booth – oh so lovely.
    Enjoy your Fall weekend – can you rest this weekend?

    MChilds creations always just fascinate me. I just love to look at it. I have seriously thought about doing the girls playhouse in this because it would be a manageable area to do. I hope bj (SweetNothings) sees this post- she LOVES MacJKensie-Childs! xo Diana

    I always recognize McKenzie Childs when I see it. It has a trademark look to it, doesn’t it? My mom has one of their tea kettles in her kitchen.

    I went to the Mackenzie child’s showroom in Manhattan recently with a friend. She’s a big fan and bought a couple of things for her dil. Shortly after I found a place just under an hour away that has tons of her stuff, many of which I’ve never seen before. This showroom is one of the largest I’ve seen though. You must have had a blast!
