Some More Finds For Upcoming Scott Show

I fell in love with this old Belber Steamer Trunk, it has some issues (for one thing the musky smell) but it is so cool. Does anyone know what to do about that? Can you imagine traveling with something like that, it weighs about 70lbs. Boarding a large ship like the Titanic. It has all the original wooden hanger. That one drawer that has the ball thingy on the back, what it that for? Things sure come a long way haven't they....











Do you love theses dresses??


Just really liked this box, I have a thing for old boxes?


Italian Florentine hand painted pieces.


Couple of pretty french looking light fixtures. They look really pretty lit.



Pretty old frame, do you think I should paint it or leave it as it is?





Great old jars and tin. That is s Seth Thomas clock, doesn't work but it looks cool.




This is a lovely french fixture, it would look great hanging over an island or bar.




This is a very old majolica pitcher, I love the colors in it. And that brass thing is a bell from an old hotel, very cool, works, and its loud.






Not really sure what that piece is that looks like a square guitar, anyone know? I thought it was cool, and it sounds good.

But the small box with the dogs on it is a very old music box.. It is so cute, and it works, love it.




I just love old suitcases, they were so sophisticated looking back then. They were all lined with pretty colored silky like material. Now all you see at airports are black suitcases, and they all look the same. You can wait at baggage claim forever trying to pick out your suitcase.

Suitcases are great props for displays in shops. They look great stacked in bedrooms, or they make a great table, put a piece of glass on top.

Cool Chair

Pamela Anderson's Romantic Beach Cottage




http://frenchbuttons59.blogspot.com/
I found this on French Buttons Blog and just had to post it.

I saw her cottage several years ago on a tv special and couldn't believe it was hers. It is very romantic, very shabby chic, it's just beautiful. Wait till you see her outdoor bathtub room she created, it's awesome!! Enjoy

Empire Chest

I forgot this one, and it's my favorite!!! I love this, it' such a classic piece. It's a Empire Chest from the 1800's, it has two drawers on the top, it's in over all good condition. The little imperfections don't bother me at all though, I think it just adds charm. And this is priced at $395.00, what a great price!








Beautiful Treasures

I'm in love with this cutie... It's an antique wicker child's rocker from the 1800's. Another great Christmas gift that could be passed down generation to generation. $169.00


This is a beautiful Gate Leg table, it lets out to a full dinning room table, it has a hand carved drawer on both sides. It also makes a great sofa table, and it's priced at $275.00.





This old Victorian Screen is so beautiful..




This is another very cool item, it an old Poker Set, has all the pieces and it's in great shape. Another great Christmas gift for that hard to buy for person?


Old Seltzer Bottles


I think this is such a neat item. It's an old Bingo Cage.. What a unique Christmas gift this would make?





Awesome Old Tole Trays











Covered Aluminum Relish Dish With Handles


This is the most beautiful Brown Transfer Ware soup terrine with ladle, it's in mint condition

Can Anyone Relate



This is the "Melting Man" from global warming!! I can so relate to him, I know I feel like I'm melting these days.. It's going to be another 100 degree day her in the sunny south. I don't even bother to do anything to my hair these days, I sweat my makeup off as soon as I walk outside, I fell like I need to carry a change of clothes around with me from sweating so. My dog don't even want to go outside, she holds it as long as she can, poor baby. Can't walk barefoot in the yard, it feels like needles, and we water! I'm so ready for cooler weather, what about you?




Dear Diary,

May 30th -- Now this is a state that knows how to live! Beautiful sunny
days and warm balmy evenings. Mountains and deserts blended together.
What a place! Watched the sunset from a park lying on a blanket. It was
beautiful. I've finally found my home I love it here.

June 14th -- Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in
an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure
to see the sun every day like this. I'm turning into a real sun
worshipper.

June 30th -- Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots
of cactus and rocks What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing for me.
Another scorcher today, but I love it here.

July 10th -- The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do
people get used to this kind of heat? At least it's a dry heat. Getting
used to it is taking longer than I expected.

July 15th -- Fell asleep by the pool. (Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of
my body.) Missed two days of work, what a dumb thing to do. I learned my
lesson though: got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.

July 20th--- I missed Tabby (our cat) sneaking into the car when I left
this morning. By the time I got out to the hot car for lunch, Tabby had
swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and exploded all over $2,000
worth of leather upholstery. I told the kids she ran away. The car now
smells like Kibbles and BITS. No more pets in this heat!

July 25th--- Dry fetchin' heat, my butt. Hot is hot!! The home air -
conditioner is on the fritz and AC repairman charged $200 just to drive
by and tell me he needed to order parts.

July 30th -- Been sleeping outside by the pool for three nights now.
$1,100 in darn house payments and we can't even go inside. Why did I
ever come here?

Aug 4th--- 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It
cost $500 and gets the temperature down to about 90. Stupid repairman
pissed in my pool. I hate this fetchin' state.

Aug 8th-- If another wise cracks, "Hot enough for you today?", I'm going
to tear his swollen throat out. Darn heat. By the time I get to work the
radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like
roasted fricken Garfield!!

Aug 10th -- The weather report might as well be a damn recording: Hot
and Sunny. It's been too hot for two dang months and the weatherman says
it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this barren
desert??

Water rationing has been in effect all summer, so $1,700 worth of cactus
just dried up and blew into the swealtoring pool. Even a cactus can't
live in this heat.

Aug 14th--- Welcome to Hell!!! Temperature got to 123 today. Forgot
to crack the window and blew the fricken' windshield out of the
Lincoln. The installer came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you
today?" My wife had to spend the $1,100 house payment to bail me out of
jail.

Aug 30th--- Worst day of the damn summer. I'm not leaving the house.
The fricken monsoon rains finally came and all they did is to make it
muggier than hell. The Lincoln is now floating somewhere in Mexico with
it's new $500 windshield. That does it, we're moving to New York for
some peace and quiet.
