The art of deal...
Comments (38)Weedy, "I'm thinking a "Holmes on Homes" type TV show should be in your future... Might not happen. I don't wear bib overalls, don't have a pierced ear, and after 21 years of being happily married I don't think I'd be any good at flirting with the women-folk. Of course I could always just come to the person's house, keep my mouth shut, have a fine cuppa joe, and do good work. Nahhhh! ;) Homepro, "miss working" I wish! My "to do" list here at home numbers 321 items. I should get most of them cleared up once I get that extra hour of daylight savings time....See MoreShare your (non-art) art
Comments (57)I have thoroughly enjoyed browsing all the photos and reading the stories of your collections here. Such beautiful pieces and wonderful, touching stories. To see most of mine, you'd think my home was full of antiques, which is far from the real deal, but these seem to be most of my most interesting non-art things. However, some of you have given me some ideas for things I could do in the future with things I have stored! This is a small collection of silver vases, albeit in need of some polish right now. My collection of miniature tea sets. This started with my aunt giving me her much-used Mickey Mouse set she had used back in the 30's as a child and a then-new set when I was about 8-years old (the blue and white delft set). The rest is a mix of old and new I picked up along the way as an adult. I also have a lot of old hankies that belonged to my grandmother and great-grandmother, and yes I use them at weddings and funerals. They made some of them, including the tatting on the edges. Gallery hallway of family photos (old and new) To honor our home states (Alabama and Ohio) I started looking for old maps of our states and regions. This is one of Alabama and of the Eastern US in our breakfast room. The next one is an Agricultural map of Ohio. I think I've posted enough. Thanks for viewing. BTW, those clocks are awesome! And I adore that mirror, and I can't say enough about that belly cast!...See MoreAny good deal for canvas wall art related tress

Comments (15)Don't leave art rolled up in a tube! Twelve years ago we lived in Japan and I bought several wood block prints. It is fine to travel with art rolled up in a tube, but you should really flatten it out when you get home. Place each piece between cardboard, or similar, to keep it flat and protected. Tape the edges of the cardboard and you can store them standing up in the back of a closet or even behind a dresser. I finally got around to framing some of the wood block prints a few months ago. They were flat, perfect and easy for the frame shop to frame....See More- 7 years ago
