What Can You See In Your Mirror?

The French magazine, Maisons de Campagne, caught my eye with their March/April issue..

A standing mirror with three adjustable panels....

reflecting three unique scenes.

It is a mirror, a screen, and ART.

How creative...to see all of your favorite collections.

I want this mirror!!!

Decorate Your Space So Imagination Soars!

I am drawn to David Bromley's studio featured in May UK issue of ELLE DECORATION.

British-born and one of Australia's visual artists...

(working in film, photography, drawing, painting, poetry, and sculpture)

he has created his Melbourne studio/home in a prior Victorian arcade and hotel.

He decorates following his belief...

"Creativity is nurtured in a place where imagination soars".

Antique French chandeliers shine down on his artwork and found objects.

There is color, art, antiques, texture, a love for children, playfulness, surprises..

(did you notice the glass dome on the table?)

I could live in this room !

What encourages your imagination to soar?

The Night Before Marburger Farm Antique Show

You know you are in Texas when on Saturday it is over 90 degrees.....

and on Monday you are digging out your sweater ...

But this is March at the Marburger Farm Antique Show in Round Top, Texas!

Saturday was spent unloading the truck..

With breaks for hellos to the other dealers that sell here each April and October.

Sunday and Monday was arranging and re-arranging the booth..

and re-arranging again!!

We want to WOW the thousands of customers that pour into the show Tuesday at 10 am

Tonight is nursing the sore muscles

Tomorrow is what we work for......seeing our customers smile,

thrilled with the new beauty we discovered...

and is now going to add beauty to their home.

Hope to see you Tent C Booth CD8

Captured By The Artist's Soul

I favor paintings that pull me in...

I feel as if I stumbled upon her private moment...

I gaze quietly, not wanting to disturb.

The artist has said so much, with so little.

Architectural Fragments...Create Your Personal Beauty

There is something about French antique architectural fragments...

That light up my imagination...

What was their early life?

And now....what creative way can they add beauty to our home?

I love the textures...
The worn gilt with red creeping through...
The row of beading....
The carved scrolls and shapes...

Their 33" size...

I can see them now as the base for a console table !

What is your vision??

18th century Italian Flamed Urns

I love pieces that you just cannot resist touching...

Textures that beg you to stroke..

Gilt and Deep Red


I have this pair resting on my desk
Stirs my imagination...


For so many years, they would have rested at the church altar..

Music, celebrations, prayers

Do you have a piece that pulls you back in time?

Love Interesting Shapes !!

Paintings have always spoken to me.

And texture has become one of my...."got to have"

When I discovered this pair of painted wood shield-shaped plaques...

with a wonderful wine colored background..

It was a '10' in my book !!

Over a bed?

Dining Room?

Living Room?

Any Room!!

The size...40" X 25" adds to their desire

Could they have been theatre props...

Any ideas??

Come see them at Marburger Farm Antique Show
