There have been a few things done around the house. A very few, but I’m so itching to do more. Got the living room mantle rearranged. I thought I had a picture of the way it looked before, but darned if I can find it. I know it was the subject of a previous blog post. I even paid for a Flickr pro subscription, convinced it must be in the pictures I couldn’t see. There were only 4 hidden pictures and none of them were of the old mantle.

I even scrolled back through the old blog. The one over on Blogspot. Back in the day when I blogged regularly. And…. it was a pretty good blog! I was impressed! LOL That was before the shop took over my life. Got to get back up to at least that level again. But there was no picture of the old mantle.

Anyway, I present to you…. the new mantle. A piece of Roseville from my mother’s, some Homer Laughlin bowls and pieces I’ve picked up here and there. The bust of the man lost his head one day and got stuck back on. The little, rough, blue cabinet was found at a church sale. The only thing worth having (to me) at that whole sale. I’ll probably redo what’s inside of it. Right now it’s part of my religious collection. A collection that might be moving to the foyer.
