A Dream Come True

Remember how I loved it?
The golden sconce with the forty plus crystal prisms. An aging French lady, or a reproduction from some years back, who knows, who cares. It is lovely. I've wanted to bring it home for several months. When I walked into SuzAnna's Antiques again yesterday it was still there. Even with the price reduced nobody had snapped it up. Guess what - those great gals managed to get it reduced again, for me. My knees went weak, my head spun a little in the 90 degree heat...............it was meant to be mine.


Soon I'll show you where it's hanging now.
Sometimes patience pays off...............if you're lucky, and wait for dreams to come true, they do!

  1. Mary, You did surprise me. I thought you were gong to show me BOOKS! I wondered if you would end up with that treasure and I couldn't be happier for you. And at a bargain too. Patience does pay off. I can't wait to see where it will live. Smile.

    I am much better and the only issue now is bending my knee. OUCH. It really hurts, but it is the only way to recover. Such is life.

    I have full confidence in you to be ready ahead of time for your trip. Things do seem very pending at the moment. Stay calm and have a cup of tea.

    Love and hugs, Jeanne

  2. Wow! I'm so GLAD you bought it Mary!! Last weekend when I went to their shop with DH and Luna I saw it there and I thought a lot about how much you wanted it. I said a "quick" prayer for you to get it! I can't wait to see where you're going to put it in your lovely home. Love, Vanessa

  6. Mary,

    "Love that sconce, but I really am intrigued by the painted mirror frame to the right of it. That looks like something I would love to have.
