Michele from My Notting Hill and her friend Anne came up to Baltimore to join me at the McLain Wiesand Warehouse sale, which was a huge success. Great pieces and even greater prices! 
I was excited to be able to see some of David’s craftsmen/women at work, just like the elves in Santa’s workshop. Here one of them applies gold leaf to curtain rings. She’s got it down to an art!
After we left McLain Wiesand, we headed down to Housewerks. They’ve just gotten some of the props from the Baltimore Opera Company which are terrific. 
Lots and lots of letters, including the orange ones above and these fun metal ones. 
Part of the fun is finding letters and spelling out little messages.
We all loved this bench and its vaguely Chinoiserie vibe.
Here’s Anne checking out some of the marble samples.
Tomorrow, I will show you our next stop!
Love the aqua letters!
ReplyDeleteI love the letters Meg...Have a wonderful weekend, xv.
ReplyDeletethose globes!!!!!!!!!!! how much were those?
ReplyDeletei need that angled circular wooden bench - we have a giant ash that is dying. when we cut it down i am going to leave part of the trunk and then put a bench, like the one pictured, around it -to create a chair with tree trunk for the back and place a container of alpine trailing geraniums on the top of the trunk as a pretty cap.
ReplyDeleteYes - a great trip is right. I am a light fixture girl... love it.
ReplyDeleteMeg - That was a fun time! We're so happy with our purchases. Have you told Joni yet that the globes were only $35!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteOh the globes- the candlesticks- the letters!
ReplyDeleteOh my!
Okay, that blue countertop with the hammered brass sink actually might work in some over the top powder room. I dig it!
