So nice to see Montreal Digs in my inbox. Snow storm, I’m house bound actually thought I’d stand outside and have a cigarette haven’t done that in years…Gayle of cabin fever needed this thank u
My parents picked THIS weekend to head up to Toronto to visit my sister’s new house: they may be seeing more of it than they planned, with this crazy snowstorm! Hang in there, Gayle, and stay strong against big tobacco… I’ll try to resist the “call in the army” pokes
The sea urchins DO look real: is it my imagination, or is the sizing slightly uneven?
Staring squint-eyed at tiny photos is one of the occupational hazards of online vintage hunting! Because they’re so uniformly white, they might be a resin or ceramic cast base, similar to this Regina-Andrew design? They’d definitely work with a coastal decorating theme, but I think they’d be more interesting used outside that beach chic cliché.
Have to say, Susan, I’ve really been enjoying your recent reflections on the layering that makes a house a true home: one that reflects your life and passions, and graciously invites others in. Thanks for popping by Montreal Digs!
I have a very similar antique Oak desk to sell.
