Room Shots March 2012

Salix Blossoms that look like caterpillars.

So Fuzzy!!

 Antique chalkware Babes head.

Residing at the bottom of a hurricane. Poppy dishes and my Ironside's painting. It reminds me of the painting described in C.S. Lewis The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. A Gift to cousin Eustace's parents hangs in the guest room Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are staying in and is their portal to Narnia.

Room Pics..

I love this pewter wall plaque. And another small Cosmo arrangement.

These candles are so cool.
They are from the 80s and a little Dungeons and Dragons fairy like but look right at home with a touch of whimsy.

I love these hand carved hares.
One is the top of an antique walking cane the other a bottle opener.

Another much larger candle.
Apparently when you light these eventually the wax streams from the mans eyes.

Room Photographs.

Little home grown Jack Be Littles.

Cleaning, waxing everything needs a good dusting.Next weekend my brother will help me put in recessed lights and a switch near the door.

A new Faux Bois blankey.

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.

Paté Terrine

I love these paté terrines or game casserole dishes.Some are antique Pillivuyt, some are new aplico but all are beautiful.My sister and mom are terrified of them.They find the hares glaring eyes from the en croute pastry crust dish a little frightening!


The boars head and wild pig are soup terines from portugal.They are actually Bordallo Pinheiro majolica originals

My cherished covered wedgwood doves dish.It is similar to the one Martha used in the formal parlor at Turkey Hill when it was featured in September of 1999.If I liked paté I would use these since they are more utilitarian that their antique cousins.
