Visions under glass


What is it about these cloches
, that make me so delirious . These items were
just stuck under here ,because they were handy and so I could see how it would look on this wonderful brass and mirrored base that I was fortunate to get for a song, I bought this at a yard sale . had to dig in a box as it started raining and began to drizzle
rain on my head ,but after finding this jewel I had to persevere lol > The person selling these items was a man ,and he purchased boxed lots from a storage
facility , never knowing whether there was profit in it or not -not even what was behind the door
as the lock was cut off ---- he used to have yard sales on a monthly basis , but I think
the city ordinance put a stop to that
. I gave maybe $5 for it . I love it and in the past displayed my french Limoges
boxes on it . The same day I also purchased several pieces of silver from
him -- for almost nothing -- some people can't stand the rain -but I new I would persevere
and maybe find a treasure that dayat a good price -- Sometimes silver will not look bright and shiny
due to being plated --but the tarnished look on items calls to me also -- Guess I am a little
strange , but there are many like me . Of course for showers and teas etc -for groups who don't get it -- only the good ? stuff is used lol.
This glass dome is in the guest room - still unfinished --but a work in progress -
hmm maybe too many irons in the fire -but ya know when you find something perfect for a space , ya gotta buy it -so that is had doing things in multiples occured --The only problem is
too many rooms in progress -- But one day -- BAm !! like Emeril -- they will all be transformed
( soon Hub hopes )
I realized this was my 101 post -- Woo hoo !! so gotta come up withan idea for
a giveaway to celebrate --- Will let ya know !!! Gotta get a fall idea going for my cloche
Til next time --- Blessings Kathy - GA
