New Life to old Chairs

Don' t you just love these chairs. It is always amazing what fresh paint and new fabric can do. The first two pictures are chairs I have rescued from the trash. They both required a little work but look great now. I think they have many more good years in them.







This chair was found in Barcelona,Spain near a dumpster
with crooked legs and bad finish.

I found this chair on the side of the road
 in the Hill Country of Texas painted white.





This chair was purchased at an auction and
just needed some TLC.

This chair has been in my husband's family
for years, it just needed new cane bottom.

Anticipation~Round Top Texas Antiques

This will be my first visit to Round Top and I am so excited to meet my sister Juli there to explore this Antique Show.  I hear antiques and collectible dealers set up along Round Top area highways.  We plan on visiting Marburger Farm where there are a variety of antiques ranging from early Texas to European, industrial to primitive, estate jewelry, painted furniture, fine art, silver and much to much to list.  Warrenton is another area we plan to visit.  There are many buildings, booths and fields to visit here.  I have posted some pictures of booths I have found from last year but I plan to post my own pictures of my great finds after my trip in early October.   For more information check out http://www.roundtop-marburger.com/. The show begins on September 28th.

This year I spent my Labor Day weekend in Las Vegas with my sons, Patrick & Michael.  We stayed at the  beautiful Paris hotel on the strip.  We visit a few Casinos, played Blackjack, War, visited a some buffets and took in a show, PEEP Show, that is!! Great times just being with my boys.

Czechoslovakian Pottery

I have been collecting Czech pottery for over twenty five years. I love the vibrant colors and the hand painted designs. I traveled to Prague a couple of years ago in search of some pieces to add to my collection. I really enjoyed the antique stores in Prague. The search was as thrilling as actually locating a piece.
