Hooray for Google reverse image search! I've been reading through your entire archives and am addicted! You know how when you focus on something for so long it is what you dream about at night? I kid you not I dreamt of antique marble slabs, gorgeous worn kilim rugs, sad looking wood chandeliers that just needed a little wax, and walks through the woods with puppies! Tell Ella hello from me and my three hairy dog beasts in Cambridge, Mass!Megan Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728123126848941538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-77237153882461551792013-08-23T11:36:20.893-04:002013-08-23T11:36:20.893-04:00So happy for Claire and you that such lovely famil...So happy for Claire and you that such lovely family pieces are cherished and loved. I'll have to call my mom and stop her from parting (actually just throwing away) my nana's chandelier. She doesn't like it one bit.Pity she's not very good with antiques. Often, I've had to save them.<br />They came from a royal family and did not have much appreciation for 'left-overs'. mamaroseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165892501174801707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-38422074075631029622012-03-24T20:57:33.253-04:002012-03-24T20:57:33.253-04:00Mira- I love that!!

It was hanging in the front entry of our house when we bought it, and I have thought for years now that when our upstairs bathroom is done it will look spectacular there.

I love "A Country Farmhouse" and have been checking in daily to see when she is going to have those wonderful babies ;) There was a post saying that another blogger sent her some brass candlesticks and I thought "wow is that amazing". I decided to click on over and it was love at first sight. You had me at the header. I will be devouring all your posts over the holidays when I go to my fixer house in Vermont to relax with family.

I'm still so charmed, 18 years later, that our home's previous owner left me a chandelier that a daughter had gifted her from Sothebys when she was working there. I had a new baby and toddler, and thought it was the prettiest thing I had ever seen. It's the little stories, provenance, and kindness that make "things" special. Happy Holidays!
