This handmade, rough-cut steel table is a folk art treasure. I don’t know if its
creator meant for it to be so quirky or if he just wanted to make something nice.
Either way, he succeeded. And, it’s a keeper…
A cupboard full of stuff, collected over time in England, Belgium and, of course,
here in America. These won’t be going to The Hudson Mercantile any time soon…
A painted crate, a model house and an old golf marker, one of a set of six, from Scotland…
Two little gifts from Jennifer Lanne: a tiny ca. 1930s painting of sheep on a
papier mache plate, probably the work of a member of a women’s group, and
a fabulous log cabin in the woods, painted by Jennifer, herself. I love them…
Him…
Birds and cards in an old wooden sorting tray. A giant depression-era ball of string…
Lots of drawer units in an old warehouse (now in my barns and in
The Hudson Mercantile)…
Mugsie, with his big mutton chops, smiling like a loonie tune, just ’cause that’s
the way he was…
I guess I might have to just keep posting more and more of the crazy wonderful
things that make my heart sing.
