Sharing beauty................


Remember me showing you this gorgeous vintage sideboard/buffet recently? A grand piece, displayed at Revival Antiques here in Raleigh, NC during their Holiday Open House. My friends, photographer Dorothy Blum Cooper and artist Bobby Cooper from Louisiana, who moved to North Carolina following Hurricane Katrina, are restoring a beautiful historic home. They saw my post, came to town, and have purchased it! This is great news. I can't imagine a more perfect home for this beauty, or a nicer family to care for it.

  2. How wonderful! It is a beautiful buffet.

    Our mirror is hung above our fireplace....still no mantel. Kent is so busy with work it is hard for him to steal some time on the house.
    Tell Bob Hi from us!

  8. Hi! I popped in from Silver sewer's blog and love the posted photo and sideboard. How wonderful the sideboard is in a wonderful home thanks to you!

    I wonder if you have any notion of who made the We Wish You a Merry Christmas (perhaps brass?) that is pictured on the sideboard? Hope you know as I'd love to find it or one like it - unless it is too costly ...!

    I'll check back here as I have no blog. Thank you!

  12. These are very interesting silver pots - they are great but I recall when I had to clean them as a kid and how hard it was now cleaning them is not such a big deal but I can still recall the mess they used to make. I like the way they look and I have some... but now my maid cleans them for me instead. There is so much class as taste that comes from items like these.

    I love the photos.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I stumbled across your blog from another blog and I am glad I did.

    Best regards,
