the real deal.....

sunny and brisk

here at 9 rowland

today...

but.
.because
a promise

is
a promise...

mr b dusty and i

went to the

*real deal*

storage in

the 26 degree

weather this 

morning  

to 

take 

these pics

to show

you ...

the boys ..

term used 

loosely..hehe..

opening 

up for me..

OMG.....

 lots of plant stands..

favorite triangle

mirror coat

rack

is peeking 

out
on the side...

still remember

that house

and all the

wonderful

things i was able

to get there...

even more...

even i had 

forgotten about

this great 

architectural

piece....

art noveau

lady
table...

piled as high

as it could

be...

packed in 

so tight...

mr b is an 

expert packer..

i won't even

begin 

to tell you how many

times

the dear man

moved and removed

my stuff

thru the years..

bless his heart..

sweet 50s

needlepoint purse...

and 

a 

wicker tray...

these will look

great in 

my 

yard 

somewhere...

a chandelier

in the

background...

if only  i could

have gotten

to that

train case.....have
a
million and one
things
to
store
in there...

baker's rack

against

the wall...

super fold up

metal one

from

good ole'

waterville

street....

wish i had pics

of the stained

glass windows

and the 

italian tile

fireplace surround

we also 

got from there...

you would have

ooohhhhhed

and 

ahhhhhhed

over them...

so.........

 mr b

made me

promise

that i would

start having

some 

tag sales

this 

year...

i guess

i 

will

have to..

because...

a

promise

is a 

promise.......

this will be

really hard for me

as i just love

all of my

finds...

wish me luck

with 

that...

or better yet...

come join

me when 

i 

do 

have them..

i'll

keep

you 

posted...

maybe a trip

to the knights of

columbus museum

in new haven

later 

they have an 

exhibit 

featuring 

mother teresa

and 

mr b

tells me

her

white and blue

garb

is
there...

will take some 

pics to show you

if
i make it there...

also

hoping to hit some

haunts today 

too...

i have been tied

to this nest

forever...

don't get me wrong...

i love

it

and i love

making it

look 

great...
along
with
keeping it
neat
and
tidy...

but 

the clock is 

a-ticking

and

i want

to enjoy 

some new

things

in addition

to 

9 rowland...

thanks

for 

taking the

journey

with 

me...

hope you have

sunshine

and warmth

in your hearts today...

be well.....

warmly..........susan
