  6. These are some real stuff, I am so excited to see real stuff. Most days we see painted up used furniture that people are calling French. Thanks for sharing such wonderful things. Richard from My Old Historic House.

  10. Amazing pieces.
    How fun to be able to have these gorgeous items with you, if only for brief moments. It's similar to Pieter's flowers. I am spoiled by their beauty, but it is fleeting as we only see them for a little while. But what a little while it is!

  11. I would be so happy to have any and every one of these pieces! Your post is making me think of the Battersea antique fair coming up later this month - how I wish you were still exhibiting there - I could pop over for coffee and a chat, to admire your things! A nice dream ...
