Hello Guys, Today I thought I would join our sweet Marty for TT...This is one of my coffee tables in my living room..Oh Yes I have 2 coffee tables because I have 2 sofa's in this room...Now anyone that comes by here knows I love stuff...And the More the better...
I found this table at a consignment shop 3 years ago...I gave $50.00 for it which was GREAT!! as it from Drexel Heritage furniture " Bella Maison "...Which is their French Line..
And what would a table be without candles...I also got these from the same shop...
The cloche sits in the center on a cake stand and have a French Harp clock under it...ca. 1870
And behind the French clock I have a pair of French Opera glasses from ca. 1900
This is a clock I made many years ago from an old china plate...One day if you like I will show you how to make these..just let me know..
Don't you love these boxes that look like books...I found this one at Ross while Christmas shopping...I have a French Magnifying glass with a tassel sitting on top of it...
Is this not a pretty box and so me ha ha!!
Inside it hides my TV remote...Thanks for coming by and seeing me..Your the best..Please go by and see Marty at " A Stroll Thru Life"
Until next time from my mountain to yours,
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ps: I'll be around to visit with all of you as soon as I can..Today is Len's Birthday and I have to make "HAPPY TO BE"

Gloria, this is so pretty, but the thing I am truly in love with are those French opera glasses. I have this thing for them. I have an old pair that belonged to my father, but I am always tempted to buy them. They are a delight to me. Love the clocks (can't believe all the thing you can do!) and all the other goodies, and that table was a fabulous price.
Thanks for sharing, my friend.
XO,
Sheila :-)
It's so lovely Gloria!
And just like Sheila, I am in love with those opera glasses!
And the pretty box for your remote, what a great idea!
What a beautiful setting!
Hugs,
Cindy
Oh Gloria, this is just unreal. I love your vignette. Of course I am drooling over the cloche with the fabulous clock and opera glasses, just perfect. Love those candlesticks and candles also. Your other clock, cherub and the box are stunning. You do have some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
Yes, I would LOVE some feathers. That would be such a treat. They are so hard to find. You are such a precious friend to offer.
Thanks also for joining TTT. I always love to see your vignettes. Hugs, Marty
I absolutely LOVE your vignette. The clocks are amazing and I love the unique candles. ~Alana~
Your table vignette is so pretty, Gloria. Wow, what a deal, too. The table is wonderful!
No fair! Our Ross certainly doesn't have boxes that pretty! But you are right that is a great idea for the remotes, and I will keep that in mind too. I love your magnifying glass and your binoculors. They are both very nice! I would love to see how to make those clocks someday.
Gloria, what a gorgeous table and what a deal you got. My consignment store I go to would have asked over $300 for that. She prices everything as if they were new. I love your vignette on it, too.
This is a beautiful table, Gloria and I like the table and wool rug underneath as well. How pretty you have it decorated...the clocks, opera glasses and that awesome phone under the cloche. You have some wonderful antiques, Gloria! Your home is like a museum!
Happy Birthday to Len!!!
XO,
Jane
To start, I love all your treasures! Oh, the coffee table set so pretty! Candles, dish, Oh I wish for a harp clock! Adore it! The glass with a tassel a lovely touch. Now the book, I will be buying, for maybe not hiding, or maybe to hide, but for a place to put them for I can never find the remote! Thank you for the lovely idea! This is one lovely vignette!
Love the coffe table and the price for it was wonderful. The cloche with clock is gorgeous♥
Love the little clock made out of china. So pretty. That is a beautiful table too.
Hugs,

I saw some pretty book things that were boxes at Michaels the other day...I started to get some...but I was holding out looking for some cloches! lol I found a tall one at Hobby Lobby Monday and I painted a clay saucer and put some small pebbles in it so now all I gotta do is find a tall skinny fern and it will look like the pic I copied off the internet! lol Ohhhh and did you hear me squeal yesterday??? Bill found my pot rack in the shed...happy day...he hung it over the counter and I put my new black Paula Deens pots on it that mama gave me...ohhhhh glory...who knew pots and pans hanging from the ceiling could make me so happy!!!! lol Love you to pieces sis...have a great day...Picket

Wait a minute, I meant opera glasses...you knew what I meant LOL!
Hi again Gloria, I had to come back a second time to answer your guestion on my last post. I am doing fine and I do appreciate you asking. Also I just noticed the small print on this post. Tell Len Happy belated birthday. Have a great day. Madeline
Everything looks lovely. Your vignette is so romantic and pretty.
I adore your cloche. Thanks for sharing. Oh, I am also your newest follower. Linda
What a deal you got on that beautiful coffee table Gloria! Love all of your elegant Frenchiness on top of the table too. I should have known that you'd have a pair of those little opera glasses. I love those. Every time I see a pair, I pick them up and consider buying them. What a beauty that magnifying glass is! And I love that pretty runner and the way you've scrunched it up on your table. You find the BEST stuff! laurie
Oooh...Gloria! You know I love this coffee table! And you have such a pretty collection of items in your vignette! Hope you are having a great week!...hugs...Debbie
Dear Gloria,
Had to remove my post..it's my typing not my spelling but always get's me into trouble..
I commented on your beautiful Drexel Table..Beautiful workmanship.
You also have it dressed up perfectly!
I enjoyed my visit..

LOVE that table! You really got a wonderful bargain with that. Everything looks sooooo pretty my sweet friend.
We're in a frozen tundra right now and cabin fever is beginning for me. :-) I believe I'm going to have to start a project.
Take care and stay warm!

Ms. Gloria,I am sorry I have misplaced your email address. This is the big bad wolf. We had a snow and ice blizzard here in Mississippi. As of today at 2:00 the post office still does not have the dome back. The post master is not there today, tomarow I plan to raise hell, this is gone on long enough.Feb 2nd. I am so sorry. If you don't hate me, I just posted a blog about our blizzard. Thanks, Richard www.myoldhistorichouse.blogspot.com
I love the box you are hiding the remotes in. It's fabulous. But then so is everything else. Thanks for sharing & thanks for stopping by my blog. Take care!
Your style is wonderful! I love how you've paired things together-old and new and sooooo pretty!
Gloria,
