I went inside an antique store in a small town and saw a brass hose nozzle, and I have questions:
-Does the seller expect someone to buy this as a decoration? Or to actually use it?
-Why is it priced the same as a new one?

I mean, I could see this ending up in a thrift store, but an antique store is kind of odd.

If you had ever eaten at Bismarck’s Golden Dragon back in the day and wished you could take one of the big foo dogs home with you, you’ll be happy to know that one survived and is now at Bismarck Antique Mall. The whereabouts of the restaurant’s piranha is unknown.

Collection for a Cold and Rainy Day

These old bottles have been dug up out of our various gardens - from England, France and finally brought to Nova Scotia. Each one must have such a story to tell, if only we knew...!

Happy Monday, friends!

A 1951 Coca-Cola ink blotter — See that fella with the bottle cap embedded in his head? His name was Sprite Boy, and he was introduced in 1942. Sprite (the drink) made its debut in 1961.

Brothers In Arms
I wonder if they had 9 copies of this created
I've never seen a crayon portrait with so many faces
It seems like it should be in a museum
One of my all time favs

Should be easy for me to clean up and fix the corners

I fell in love with this painting of a woman today at an antique centre/junk shop. I can't quite explain why, as is often the case when art speaks to you. Our house is cluttered, piles of books, cupboards full of paintings (I really don't need more art) and the frame was awful, really inappropriate for the painting, so I left. But I couldn't stop thinking about her. 'Cassandra'.
