Happy Friday!

Daddy has decided he will part with this lovely pair of early Limoges, possibly Old Paris, vases that have been in the family for many years.  We have been enjoying these beauties as they have sat on our mantle.  They would make a great addition to your collection. 

Look for them at the Lakewood 400 Antiques Market, June 14-16.



Have a great weekend!

Lovely Tiger Oak Victorian piece

Beautiful piece with some lovely Majolica.  Currently featured in the "Packrats' Daughters Corner at The Inn at Magnolia Oaks.  Northeast Georgia's most romantic and B & B.


Look at this lovely piece of furniture. A standing coal hod from Shropshire county England.
Would be great for wood pieces, newspaper, magazines....towels in the bathroom.......so many uses in so many locations.



Enjoy today and remember "Each day is the present". Live it, love it and fill it with lots of tail wags and kisses!

Memorial Day Thanks!


Thank you to those who served!

Now, spice up the porch, patio, lanai or sunroom with this rattan chair & ottoman. cushions not attached and easily changed. Add the lovely painted flower and crystal prisms candelabras!  We added the flameless candles. Sparkling!




For a powder room, or the sunroom here are a pair of botanicals (original artwork) over 100 years old in gilded frames.  Signed by Swiss artist with her engagement photo on the back!
Sorry for the glare and reflections on the old glass!  You should still be able to see the detail.
Mom, we need a better camera, or maybe photographer! Lol!  I am sure Mommy will part with them if she can find some other botanicals she loves just as much!



Happy picnicking and parade watching to everyone!

May 9 ~ It's a beautiful day and beautiful new items!

Look at a few more items Mommy found!

A hand-tooled book of French songs (Royal Edition ~ printed in the U.K.). Songs are in both English & French.



Check out this sketch book from 1926!  Not all of the pages are completed, but it looks like it might  be architectural sketches.





Tea anyone!  
A hotelware creamer and five really lovely ironstone demitasse cups & saucers from Spain!  We have five of these.

To go along with that tea, some snack plates! Three are available.



Wow! An 1800's Schramberg platter. Fantastic!


So many more pictures we have to take and get ready for our Antique Show next weekend.  The Lakewood 400 Antiques Market is May 17-19 in Cumming, Georgia.

The Sands of Time

Good Sunday Morning to everyone!

Look what we found yesterday that is so interesting.  Mommy says it is an hour glass.  It looks like a smaller version of the great big one the witch had in the movie the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy and Toto watched the sand quickly emptying!  Scary that one was, but not this one, it is very neat.

Mommy said if I could run around the yard and chase the squirrels and get back on the deck before the sand completely runs out, then I am very fast and might get a treat!  Yummmm.....carrots.  

Here are a few pictures:




Still shopping....check back for more interesting pictures and stories soon!
