New eyes in my hare tureens.


The glass eyes in my Pillivuyt tureens got scuffed up.So I replaced them with new eyes.The old eyes screw right out.
I will replace them all to have medium brown eyes.

Living with books..




I own hundreds even maybe at least a thousand books.They have taken over everywhere.I have a floor to ceiling built-in bookcase.But they still have covered everything from nightstands to my desk.Even my ottoman holds books.I love Martha's technique of having piles of books everywhere.Did you notice her first post on the daily wag the photo of Laura Plimpton, Christine O'Neill, and Eliad Laskin has a table laden with books in the background next to the fireplace.I also see it in a lot of homes in paris from all the books I have studied .
It dosent look like alot of books.Until you lose one or buy the same one twice.
