Hello Everyone,
Well, it's a new week...and we're already almost halfway through June! Does time seem to fly by at warp speed sometimes...or is it just me? Last week, I promised to share more photos of my recent antiquing outing with my sis, so here we go!
For a "Good With the Wind" fan like me, this painting of Scarlett O'Hara drew me like a magnet. The sticker on it simply said, "Painting of Woman." Obviously, the owner didn't recognize Scarlett in her dress and hat made from "Miss Ellen's po'teers!"
I love old telephones. I'd like to have one like this someday (this one was too pricey for my budget right now!) but I do have my parents old, black, rotary-dial phone. Remember those? My parents passed away many years ago, but I sometimes dial their number...562-3934...the same number they had for years, just because it's comforting to me.

A lovely silver tea service
...and another painting of three young girls. It reminds me of the poem "The Children's Hour" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow about his three daughters, "Grave Alice, laughing Allegra and Edith with the golden hair." I couldn't see a description, but I wonder if this was the artist's inspiration?
Between the dark and the daylight,
When the night is beginning to lower,
Comes a pause in the day's occupations,
That is known as the Children's Hour.
I hear in the chamber above me
The patter of little feet,
The sound of a door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study I see in the lamplight,
Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra,
And Edith with golden hair..

The sound of a door that is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.

Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra,
And Edith with golden hair..

Enjoy your week, everyone! Until next time,
