WELCOME TO MY CASTLE……………..
I WANT IT I PROCLAIM to the DEALER and my friends.You see we were “WALKING” the antique show that comes to my neck of the woods three times a year!The man said, he wanted only $15,000.00 for it.Which I have to agree is a GOOD price…………..my problem is I do not have a WALL BIG ENOUGH to display it properly and the dogs would sleep on it if it dragged on the floor.
NEVER MIND the ITALIAN would have a BIG FAT FIT if I had made the purchase…………..I wonder if my credit card would even accept that kind of TRANSACTION,guess we will NEVER know!
So, we snapped a photo instead.
MOUTH OPENED AND ALL……….
MY START to the day consisted of washing my SINUSES as I am having a HECK of a time this year with ALLERGIES!I thought I would snap a photo of MYSELF before the day got away from me as that is what WE DO NOW A DAYS……………….(GOOD GRIEF whats to come?) wish I had zipped that handbag!
One of my FAVORITE BOOTHS………..I call them THE FRENCH GUYS.They ALWAYS have the MOST AMAZING STUFF.I have decided they have a VATICAN CONNECTION………so MUCH fabric and priest robes and trims………..it’s enough to put me in hyper ventilation mode!THEIR DISPLAY is ALWAYS A jaw dropping OPERATION!
TRIM ANYONE…………….
Think of the POSSIBILITIES of WHAT YOU could do with this………PILLOWS ANYONE?
VELVET…………….spots,or rips who CARES!!!!!!!!IT has a HISTORY and how I would LOVE to make up a story to go with this fabric once it became a STAPLE in my HOME.
MORE OF THE SAME……….HOPE I’m NOT BORING YOU!
NOT every house needs one of THESE but it sure would GO IN MY ABODE!
MORE BITS AND PIECES…………
There that LITTLE MAN who RAN an EMPIRE………I know someone who has a piece of him!You may too ELLIE at HAVE SOME DECORUM.She landed a piece of his wallpaper when he was in prison at AUCTION!I guess the GRIMALDI’s of MONOCO ROYALTY had A LOT of his STUFF!
This frame was $1250.00………..STERLING I would assume I asked his BEST PRICE as these larger frames are HARD to come by.He went down to $600.00………..NO I DIDNOT MAKE THE BUY!
These bowls were $1800.00 for 14 of them. I will DO the MATH for YOU as I have my TRUSTY SMART PHONE handy!That would be $128.57 a dish………………..hand wash OF COURSE as they are all HAND PAINTED!You wouldn’t believe the color difference in some of them more pink then red but then I can show you with my photo………………a big difference in color do you think these were a set or two sets mixed?
I was thinking of those PINK PLATES I HAVE……………………these bowls would be a SMASH!
WOULD YOU AGREE with me…………these are my PLATES.
The pink plates looking empty and SAD awaiting THOSE BOWLS…………will NEVER happen but A GIRL can DREAM!Plus, the ITALIAN would need to build me a BUTLERS PANTRY for all the CHINA.
THEN There was this SET…………….all I remember is THREE THOUSAND AND SOMETHING……..all hand painted with a different PORTRAIT on each ONE!I LOVED The MONOGRAMS……………I think we could make out LA MAMA CONTESSA there??Who cares……THEY SPEAK TO ME!
A close up so YOU can make out the initials…………..
NO, these did NOT come home with me either………….
THE RING MASTER………THIS GUY HAS JEWELS………..I especially like the PRICE STICKER.
YES, he was a MAN and YES he was a CHARACTER.
Well, thats it from HERE………I hope you all have a lovely week.If you are wondering about my outfit I can tell you this much.The necklace was a GIFT from a VERY special LADY . It is a STELLA MCCARTNEY.The Kimono is from THAT BOUTIQUE down SOUTH that I found on INSTAGRAM.
