Lamplight for cozy evenings

Antique Cast iron cat door stop ($58) contemplates vintage cast glass lion in GWTW lamp base ($38)

I learned yet another phrase to describe a portion of this world's temporal treasures: GWTW, as in anything related to the book and movie "Gone With the Wind", as in this case, Victorian-style, double-globe, glass lamps. So much to learn, so little time :^)

Too chilly to garden? Try adding some sculpture...

Two charming, cast resin garden sculptures, ~14" tall,
ivory paint chipping off in a shabby chic sort of way.

A happily day-dreaming young girl with her cat, $12,
and a hospitably large pineapple oops! it's an acanthus finial $18

On-site painters and tea drinkers...fun :^)

I think we had more tea drinkers here today than ever before. That was fun :^)
And it was extra fun to have Pamela sketching and painting at the far table, having scoured the room for items to make an interesting still life. Hope to show you the finished work someday. Meanwhile, here's my favorite of the paintings she's brought in so far:
