It belongs with you. :-)<br /><br />I am going to have to go take pics of Flagler College for you because LCT did the interiors. He was the designer on the project, and there were more Tiffany windows in that building than any other in the US from what I've been told. The student dining room has a ton of them! Yep, I need to get out and get those shots for you.<br /><br />Checking in from my break. Ask me some time about the name Elizabeth.

I can well imagine how thrilled you were when you found out it was a Tiffany and that you had NOT paid too much for it! hehe Reminds me of those stories of people buying paintings and finding out that there is a masterpiece underneath it:-) It truly does look beautiful and you're like me, always wondering what stories these antiques could tell if they talked!! xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700019929330607466.post-70490864801686507902010-01-21T08:29:32.153-08:002010-01-21T08:29:32.153-08:00Mornin' Sis...

I love all the ornate detailing on the metal...gorgeous! Girl, I'm so glad that you told the story behind your fabulous chandelier! Can you even begin to imagine the previous owners carrying that to their home via street car? OMG!!! Just goes to show you...where there is a will...there is a way! Hehe! Isn't that something that they didn't even realize that this was Tiffany? Girl, I know that you were doing the happy dance over this one!!! I'm so glad that you included a little background history about Charles and Louis Tiffany...I just didn't know much about them and how they got started in their craft! So very interesting!!! Now...I have to tell you that your gorgeous ceiling medallion is like the icing on the cake to the chandelier...I love it!!! I was trying to remember (and you know how that is...hehe!) if you painted the medallion? It's really beautiful!!! Ohhh my...your fabulous chandelier and medallion are breathtaking, Sis!!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us...I always look at all of your fabulous antiques and just dream! Ahhhh!!!<br /><br />How are you doing today, Darlin'? Sure do hope that you're doing well! Did you get much snow? I see that you still have your electricity...yeeeehawww!!!

So many conversations it has heard. <br /><br />I can't imagine just two men being able to get it down. It had to be very heavy and you have a treasure now that will only get better with age. Don't you just love it?<br /><br />I pray you are well my sweet friend. I think of you so often. Especially at night when I sit at my computer. I guess I should keep shouting out at you.

I always learn something new from my visits here. You have such a wide body of information about your collections and I really respect that. <br />I've been watching the news also the past couple of days and have been seeing what wild weather you're getting. I hope your high and dry. I used to live in Portland and learned the meaning of blustery during that time. <br />Take care.<br />CathyThe Stylish Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05211932273412899121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700019929330607466.post-89445161281536030202010-01-20T15:07:00.682-08:002010-01-20T15:07:00.682-08:00I am in awe again Gloria!!
