A WHOLE BUNCH OF NEW OLD STUFF!!

In addition to the wonderful farm bell mentioned in my last post, I've taken a lot of new pieces to Splendid.  Here are some of them... CLICK ON ANY OF THE PICTURES FOR A CLOSE-UP!

This black table with its curvy legs would be beautiful in an entryway, in front of a window, or as an accent piece in almost any room.  It is topped with white Italian marble.  It offers so many display possibilities.  I think it adds a touch of glamour, don't you?

This little black end table, nightstand, go-anywhere piece, is also very versatile.  It has some great storage inside.....

I can see this being used to store all of those magazines that you can't bear to throw away!  At least I seem to have quite a collection.  It could hold the newspaper, treasured books, scrapbooking or craft supplies, files in your office....I'm sure you'll think of other uses.

I took in more spools from an old textile mill in Pennsylvania.   I love these grouped together, where the various sizes and shapes can be admired, or used like this...

They can hold a plant, be a candle holder, display a hat, have lace wrapped around them for a feminine look, hold wrapped twine for your potting bench etc.  Hurry, though, these sell quickly and my supply is dwindling.

On a more rustic note, here are some pieces you might want to put in your garden.

This great old bench is so charmingly weathered and worn.  It's been painted long ago in white and then a green.  At some point someone, probably a child, has pounded a bunch of nails in the top.  Do you suppose young he or she was working in the garage with Mom or Dad?  Practicing with his hammer?  I left the nails in  place.  I thought it was sweet and gave the bench a story.  This bench could be used inside; maybe with a stack of other benches, or as a coffee table?  How about even using it to sit on!!

I love this old set of drawers.  The layers of paint on it give it just the right shabby look, so the only thing I did to it was give it a coat of wax.  I hope someone will have fun filling these drawers!

And lastly, here is a pretty pedestal to showcase a plant, a piece of statuary, or to just tuck in among your plantings. I think pieces like this add a lot of interest to a flower bed.  If you wanted to use it inside, you could top it with a piece of glass and it becomes a table!

Thanks for stopping by for a peek at my newest offerings.
