Wouldn't This Be Fun ?

      How should I take it when someone says, "that looks like you"?  I just got back from Iowa where I did a little antiquing with my nephew.  I saw this and was instantly crazy about it.  The "iron finial" as it was referred to, would serve no other purpose than to set on a piece of furniture in my living room where I could admire its beautiful rustiness.  When I pulled out my camera to photograph it, my nephew said, "that looks like you". 

     My nephew wasn't surprised either when I gasped upon seeing these old bottles.  The photo doesn't give you a clue as to their enormous size.  The old Italian Martini & Rossi bottles are approximately 20-inches tall.  The middle bottle is particularly wonderful, having the paper label in the best condition. 

     I saw this welded wire Eiffel Tower for the first time last fall at an antique show I attended.  It didn't sell and the price has actually come down 100 dollars.  Again, I walked away from it. 
     I'm still thinking about all of these pieces much too often, which isn't a good thing.  Unfortunately, I could find a place in my home for any one of these and that makes it far too tempting.
