Now every one knows my love of Second Sunday Swap meet where they have over 300 vendor's and many have asked me what I got 2 weeks ago when I went...well here it is my new shelf..I love all things that are wood craved and when I walked by this just SCREAMED Gloria to me so It had to come home with me...Len just got it hung today for me in the Living room it lived in our garage for 2 weeks...now I did have to bribe him with a Scampi dinner to get him to hang it...oh girls the things I do for antiques....the little gold bust I also got that day and the white bust I won on EBay 3 weeks ago...I just love this shelf because it has a plate groove on it so I could add some of my R.S. Prussia plates... This I hung above my antique wood craved sofa... Please feel free to click on any picture to enlarge them...but remember the Dust rule...I don't want to hear about my dust...after all its antique dust... ( sounds good to me ).
Now here is my French Mirror I got last year in an antique shop in Reno, NV and the sweet little girl picture I got also last year when once of our local shops was going out of business and I love the way she is reflected in the mirror...this is a corner fireplace so very hard to decorator...and here is also my new Bust Len got me for Christmas...I have moved this bust all over this house trying to fine a spot for her..I call it have bust will travel...
Another French shelf also Second Sunday find...just loved the colors on this piece and love how my R.S. Prussia plate with my piano babies look with it...
I found this picture my first trip to Second Sunday...also very French and antique.. again it was the colors I loved on it...
Also got this mirror and wall table to put in my entry way...loved plate holder also from Second Sunday and again it SCREAMED my name as I had never seen one with candle holders on it...
Here is a close up look at it and of course hanging next to it is another one of my Yard longs...this one is called" Courting" and from ca. 1910....
Now you can really see just how pretty this plate holder is....and just another R.S. Prussia plate..those pictures you see there are tins ones..
These are old bridge supports...when I found them they were really rusty...I had them sand blasted and then powder coated and I have these hanging on each side of my door way going into my Living room... this is the right one..
And here is the left one...these are all iron and very heavy...I had these in the barn for Years and Len just got them hung for me last year after we painted the Living room... Well girls I hope you enjoyed seeing a few more of my antiques and Please go see Barb today...Thanks also Barb for hosting this for us gals....Hope you all have a safe and blessed day...
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

Oh Gloria your new look on your blog is wonderful girl! I love that gorgeous shelf and my, the lovely plates you have-
I think all company is gone for a little while!! I just now got my Christmas decor down as I have been gone longer than intended! Now house is just shambles and looks so bare with all the pretties in the basement!!

I love it all! The two shelves are beautiful! As are the mirror, the plate, the print, The door way hangers! Wow how beautiful your Mountian home is!
Hoping all is well with Kyra! Thanks for the sweet note you left for me. I am OK, just sorting out everything, that is to come in the next weeks and months. I had a lot of emails and notes, I am just taking time, to sort it all out to find my way to go forward, with all that is to come in the next weeks and months. Thanks for caring! Means a lot to me.
Gloria.. these are wonderful. I love all your Prussia plates.. they are screaming my name.. lol. Those bridge supports are totally awesome. Glad Len got them hung for you. I hope you're feeling better girl.. hope to catch up tomorrow.. hugs ~lynne~

You say the most wonderful things to me and I really appreciate it.
I'm very blessed to have such a wonderful husband.
Wow, was that a wonderful score or what! The shelf is gorgeous! I love the bridge supports. I've never seen anything like that. How did Len hang them? ♥ Diane
Your shelves are gorgeous, it goes without saying, but the plate holder that also holds candles is magnificent. Love the antique pictures displayed on it also. Very smart of you to use the double small frame instead of another plate.
Loved the way you have hung the picture so it would be reflected. That made that corner a very interesting spot. Very clever use of the shoe to hold the fireplace length matches.
DEAR GLORIA,
WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HOME.
I FOUND YOUR BLOG THROUGH LAURIE'S BLOG.

That shelf you found is amazing. You have so many beautiful things I don't know where to start, but I admit those "yard longs" are really unique, love em. The Prussia plates are beautiful, and the. . you get the picture! Antique dust? You crack me up! Our house is over 25 yrs old, so does mine qualify or is that just reserved for dust on antiques lol? Hugs, Kathy

Thank you for sharing your amazing collection with us!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Even though I have known you for soooo long, I learn something new about you everyday you post your blog - as a matter of fact you play such great music I listen to it everyday at work. LOL Miss and love you always. Tina
How fun for us that it was What's on your Wall Wed? What a treat to see all your beautiful items displayed in your home.
Love the new shelf! Well....everything!
I have to be honest, I read your entire post, but I can't focus on the other things b/c that shelf is so gorgeous. That is a one of a kind treasure. I surely understand how that screamed your name! What a great find.
Wow Gloria! You have some gorgeous things on your walls! But I think my favorite picture is the one with the bust & the mirror with the painting reflecting in it. Beautiful!! But then again that new carved wall shelf is just stunning! and I really like that gold crest shaped picture (is it raised? like a chalkware plaque?)with the couple embracing - so romantic! You find the best stuff!!
~ Laurie
Gloria I'm so sorry to admit this but I am having a really hard time with jealousy!! Normally I can keep it at bay, but girlfriend that new shelf was saying "VANNAAAAA" I know that aaaaaa sound at the end confused you so you didn't hear the v, but trust me when I say...it said "VANNAAA!!!" Lol! It's an easy mistake to make but if you send it to me stat, everything will be just fine! And I won't have to come over with a moving truck AND my big purse!!*winks* Seriously I have been looking for a french painetiere for more than 20 years!! And your shelf has the exact same form! Only difference is a painetiere would have wooden bars on it to keep people out of the bread. Now I'm the frenchy girl darnit!! OK...well would ya at least tell me if you find another? I'm going to go cry now and eat chocolate.....Vanna
