Recent Acquisitions

I have picked up a few things here and there over the past few months.  Including this curious ceramic dog.

I came across these miniature boxes at an estate sale for a few bucks each.

The one in front is silver (and needs to be polished!)  It also has glass beads in the top

Below is a photo with each of the boxes open.
The silver one has some sort of white enamel inside and the one with decorative scrolls is lined with red velvet.

 I came across these small ceramic pieces at another estate sale

I was able to find a couple of more resin "Take a seat" chair by Willit's.

This first one is called the Slipper Chair and is a reproduction of a chair from 1880.

It has tiny gold tassels and brass casters on the front feet.  The description with the chair says: Wide enough for a Victorian lady's dress with its ample layers of petticoats, the well-cushioned Slipper Chair often found it place in the boudoir.

The second Willit's chair is called the George Washington Presidential Chair circa 1790.  The description for this chair reads:  In 1790 George Washington purchases this dignified, revolving desk chair, originally known as the "Uncom[mo] Ch[ai]r" from Thomas Burling, a New York cabinetmaker.  The seat turns on a central spindle over bone rollers, one set it to the top of each leg. This miniature reproduction actually turns also.

Work is continuing on the Cozy Cabin.   I have painted all of the 'in-between" places with a mixture of medium and dark grays.
