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

I Was Just Going To Look Around...

I have been asked to look for a few pieces for a couple of homes. So, this morning I
stopped by Olde Good Things to take a look around.  I can’t go in that shop without
falling in love with at least a dozen things...And believe me, today was no exception!

I’m going to let this fine person start the visit...

I wish I had a dining room that would accommodate this long and beautiful trestle table...

An exquisite stained glass window.  Shades of French blue and pink that are gentle and so romantic...
Did you happen to notice the modern glass tulip lamp to the left of the window? 
I believe it's brass and glass.

A beautiful French settee and parlor set...

Alabaster in the rafters...

This copper chandelier speaks to me...I hear it calling my name!   I'm sure I do!

I think one of the homes I’m looking for will welcome this piece...
Look at the pretty carving...

This window is exceptional.   It is a brass clad 6 window mirror from the 5th Avenue
Toy Building in New York City...

This lovely lady is my favorite.  Do you think she will get along with my kitty?
I wonder if she's counting the time on the old wooden clock behind her.
Probably waiting for her next visitor.

She seems to have a few friends....

How about this gracious lady?  I believe she may have been part of a fountain.

More friends...
Did you spot the beautiful blue and bronze lamp above?


If you are looking for mirrors I’m sure you will find something you like here...
Or here...

Now, if you just happen to be looking for a church steeple...(and who isn't...!?!)
How about this one?
And accrouterments...

There is still so much to show you.  I will have to continue this journey another day. 
I will be showing you more in a day or two but in the meantime you might like to visit
