Chair Love

I love to look at chairs in general, especially ones with upholstery.  I am drawn to two styles, ones with clean lines (not shown today) and those more ornate styles that reference French antiques. I really love Louis XV, but since my grandmother has so much of it, I do not seeing it work the expense at this moment.

 Enjoy the eye candy on this Monday Morning!

Scotts, Pt 4

I found three architectural facade prints that I love!  I cannot wait to frame them and find a place for them in my house.  I have wanted some for quite a long time but finally the price is right!

I also found this pretty sterling silver napkin ring to add to my collection.  I love having a lot of random napkin rings and use them when I have people over for dinner!

My sister-in-law found this fabric for a good deal.  I think she wants to recover a chair with it.
Not a great picture but it will do!

Scotts, Pt 3

I saw a few things that gave me ideas for future and stuff that I would have bought if I was in a different place financially! One day, I will replace my dining room furniture!
Love the look of these Silver platters hung on ribbons
I love the look of both this secretary and china cabinet.
The Buffalo Head reminds me of summers in West Virginia at my friend's family lodge

Scotts, Pt 2 (Sewing Sundays Edition!)

One of my favorite things to browse at antique shows and such is linens.  I love to see their monograms and Scott's did not disappoint!

I thought the following monograms were spectacular!  I am working on hand monogramming and would love to do linens with one like the first one below!

Scotts, Pt 1

This weekend my SIL, MIL and myself all went to Hotlanta to browse at Scott's Antique Market.

None of us had ever attended previously, so we were all pretty excited.  (If you do not realize, Scott's is a huge market in two buildings that houses about 3000 different vendors.)

We got up early on Saturday morning and drove over from Alabama to arrive around 10 AM.  I found a few good deals, but more than anything it was nice to just view all of the antiques.

I  had a great time and would love to go back when I have a better budget!

Two Lamps my SIL and I liked but the vendor was not so polite

My SIL looked at these but never bought the bullet and purchased one


Interesting pendant that had a retro feel
