the Victorian Lady Lamp...Love this wonderful old lamp...lets call her

aged, not old...never call a lady "old"! C. late 1800 - early 1900,

her birdcage skirt is a lamp, she has one arm only, but is one Grand Dame!

As the New Year approaches, Christmas merchandise (what little we have left) is 1/2 off, trees are coming down, and thoughts are turning to Spring! Yes...SpRiNG! the weather has been mild, the days are getting longer, I am trying to convince my honey we need to go for a bicycle ride~ along the Seine! doubt that it will happen, we'll see! How about you?

On a Wing and a Prayer~

I have learned NEVER to say " I'd love to have...or Wouldn't it

be great" to my husband!!! I casually mentioned my yearn for a Glamper...nope not typo~

a cute lil Glamourous camper... next thing I know, there is winged rust bucket parked in the driveway!! this interior pix is 1/2 cottage white, 1/2 the original pickled pine paneling...she is now all cottage white. the cushions come tomorrow!! I LOVE the original lime green stove, and ...the bathroom/shower stall~ you figure that one out! I will say our neighbor is mighty happy it is now inside the garage!!!!!!

3 French Hens Holiday Market
It was a crazy time, as the Hens pulled it together~ with 70 fabulous vendors...
Sheila fluffed, and flocked...and at times "froze"...because the fairground buildings
were a real challenge to heat!!!!! She is such an Angel, she hung her wings up while
she worked!!!!

I loved these Robin's egg blue metal "motel" chairs~
they went to two different homes!!! Wishing they had gone to mine!
It was so hectic, and my photography skills are nil_ I did not get any of the
Market Place! you will just have to come next year to see just how wonderful
it was!
