More Funky Cottage Accessories

Posted on 11:56 by Unknown
Hey!
You wanna see 
more of my stuff ?????
In my study, on either side of my little sofa, are a pair of round tables.

I am having a brain fart, as I can't think of what period they are from.
I am guessing that they are probably from the 1920's......
When I saw them in an antique store, they had orange marble tops.
Well, that wasn't going to work.....
Sooooo.....
Since I was getting grossly overcharged....
(I really wanted these, 
as they were the perfect style 
for what I was trying to accomplish.....)
The guy selling them to me agreed to change the marble to white.....
They have a wonderful trompe l'oiel effect on the apron created with inlaid veneer and staining.....
 It gives the effect of recessed niches.....like a large fluting detail.....
 The tables also have little pullout shelves, that 
I never use!!!!!
But I like knowing they are there.....
that's cuz I am very weird!!!!!
On top of my two tables 
I have more stuff!!!!!
(yes, that is an empty frame on the left, I have to put a picture in it.....oops)
 The lamps I had made from a pair of antique mercury glass vases.
 They have beautiful hand painted roses on them,
 so of course I fell in love....

I had my local lamp work room, Blanche P. Fields, make them into lamps, and create the custom shades.
The photo of the lady, is my Great Aunt Etta.... 
The dogs are Stadffordshire,
They are much snootier than the other dogs, across the room, which I am just about to share with you guys.....
But we first have to look at some stuff on the table on the other side of the sofa......

 This plate is a piece of Williamsburg pottery from Virginia, I have absolutely no idea how old it is....
and I don't care.....
it's purty!!!!
The covered bowl is another piece of my mercury glass collection.
I am a sucker for shiny @#$.
OK!! Now we can look at the little bookcase across the room!!!!!
It holds lots more of my absolutely useless stuff!!!!!
I don't know if you've picked up on it yet.....
but I have a leetle problem with acquiring china dogs.
They have spread all over
my @#$ HOUSE!!!!




I have my desk still to reveal, 
(whoopee...)
on Tuesday.....
Which is the FIRST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH!!!!!
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS!!!!!
OY! VEY! Q&A TUESDAY!!!!!!!!
So, I'll see you guys then. 
I'm looking forward to your questions, 
make sure you have some good ones!!!!!
