Santa Monica Antique Offerings...

I recently stopped in at the Santa Monica Antique Mart.  They had such a wide variety

of offerings.  There was definitely something for everyone. 

I think we are all aware of my love of silver...

And alabaster...

As I said, so many things to see...

I love this piece...

So much to look at...

It's always fun to return to an antique place because there is always something new to

find and enjoy.

What have you been  up to lately?

I hope you all have a wonderful week.

A Quick Stop At Santa Monica Antique Mart

A friend and I met for lunch and decided to stop in at the Santa Monica Antique Mart.
It is not one of the places that I go to often. I decided to take a few pictures so that
you might take a peek inside the store.  As you will notice the spaces are very close
together so unfortunately it was difficult to get a wide or tall picture.

I fell in love with these two-toned alabaster pair of table lamps. I think they are
absolutely exquisite.
I have not seen many two-toned alabaster lamps.

I also really like the other alabaster lamps standing next to the two-toned...

One of my favorite pieces of the day is this bisque lamp laden with grapes. It has a
marble base and I thought you would really enjoy seeing it.  I wish I had been able
to get a tall picture of it because the shade is perfect with the lamp, but people were
working and redesigning all around it so I just had to snap while I could.

A few more pieces...

 

 

 

 

 
Dogs hand carved of stone...

 

A touch of  Roseville...

 
Just imagine...

 

 

A Hand Painted Screen with Bamboo...

  A Large Map Of Paris...hanging from the rafters...

 
 

 
Masks In A Frame...

 

 
Another Favorite...An Old Metal Ship Box...

Did anything catch your eye?

I Was Just Going To Look Around...Part II

A day or two ago I finally put up my “followers” gadget. I kept hesitating and wasn’t
going to do it but a few of you convinced me I should.  I hope you are enjoying your
visit and will come back often.  Please feel free to click on "followers". I hope you will
leave a comment if you feel like it. I am very grateful you stopped by.

As I mentioned earlier, I was looking for a few pieces for a couple of houses.  I showed
you one that I thought would work in one house and here is the other piece I think might
work for the other house. I don’t know exactly how to describe it so I will call it an
Arts & Crafts piece. I believe it is made of pine. I think it would be perfect for an
Arts & Crafts style home...

Here are a few more things that I found intriguing.

I love the use of industrial carts as coffee tables in a living room or den and as
accessories on a porch. I really liked these...

And this is quite unique...

How about a huge stained glass door?

Well, if you are interested in doors, you might need a few knobs for the door

This ornate hand carved Shagun hardwood piece dates back at least 200 years and
maybe more...

My guess is that you would have to have a really, really really large home!

This might be more my style.  A beautiful stained glass window of roses...

And I keep going back to these two beauties...one of alabaster and the other of copper...

Now, be honest, do you think a coke machine and jukebox are necessary in every
kitchen?  Be honest!

How about a tub for a nice cool summer soak...

Oops! Maybe not!

Now that we've settled on things for the house, how about a new gate for the yard...

You might need an abstract sculpture for the lawn...

And finally, maybe a few stars to fill the summer night sky...

There are  lots more fun and unique things to see, and you can visit
