Mathew Laney a Dealer at Pacific Galleries Antique Mall

All the gals from my mosaic class I teach wanted to see where I sell my antique's, so off to Pacific Galleries Antique Mall we went. There's a few dealers that we all just love and Mathew is one of them. With an eye for merchandising and buying, his space is always a treat! There is something for everyone at this mall, we all left with something that put a grin on our faces. I found a deco shell lamp for my desk that I just love.

Getting The Art Ready for Boston Show

The Show in Boston is called " Circus Monastery", so as you may be able to tell some of the assemblages are going to be a bit fun and crazy .

Golf Tournament in Vegas Leads to Some Insane Finds

Chris (my husband) was playing in a golf tournament in Vegas. I needed a break from working on my art. So off to Vegas we went with 6 of our friends! Doing a bit of research on some culinary

treats, I knew we needed to dine at TAO. At 42,000 square feet, TAO's entertainment complex is among the largest in the world and features Vegas' hippest nightclub, coolest ultra-lounge, and of course, the hottest restaurant in town. This "Asian City's" décor includes lush velvets and silks, waterfalls and century old woods and stones, and a hand-carved 20-foot-tall Buddha floating peacefully above an infinity pool complete with Japanese carp. INSANE FOOD AND Cocktail!!!

The New Barneys of New York was a personal fave for new fines, some of the jewelry designers that they showcased I just melted over such as Sevan Bicakci’s creations are inspired by his Turkish roots. From a ring modeled on a sultan’s turban to one reverse-engraved to resemble an ancient church, each mini-masterpiece ($2,000 to $20,000) is created from 24-karat gold, sterling silver, diamonds, and precious gems.

*So Much Eye Candy in Vegas. WOW Good Fun, Good Eats and Chris did Great !

I'm glad to be back home!

Lil Love Doves

Back when we were getting married I was not finding a topper for our wedding cake, so I put one together with some anitque bits and pieces. Have loved it ever sence! Well now I can't find a great card for Valentines Day (the best ones are always homemade anyway) so I just took a few shots of the cake topper and making it into my card :D

Wonderful Rare German Handwritten Illustration Book

Living with Antique Books is such a Privilege and Honor.

Finding and Preserving them is worth every minute you invest

in them. This one dates to 1790's and we had an acidefree slip

made for it. It is worth protecting so you can pass them down

in your family.
