A post in reverse . . . this was taken on the way home from Leominster with my friend Pam again. Hang gliders on a hillside near Hundred House. We had a lovely day out.
Lovely old Georgian houses (some in sad condition though) at the entrance to the car park. The one with the double doors was a coaching inn, back in the day. It's called The Coach House.
A nice old sampler from 1889.
A 19th C (Berlin) woolwork picture.
Upstairs - a nice rustic Unit.
Back downstairs . . .
Love this, but not the price!
Some nice pieces of Majolica across this stand and that FABULOUS old Welsh love spoon.
Finally, what I fell in love with last week and went back to look more closely at and purchase today:
A Gothic Revival Dole Cupboard. A Victorian copy of a 16th C piece. The two central panels replaced at some point I think in the last century. Wrong handle - I will look through Keith's supply of brass reproduction drop handles for it. I love the old butterfly hinges and the small square carvings. VERY much the sort of thing Keith and I would have put in Ynyswen. Here it is going to probably go above the settle in the kitchen, where I currently have the clock. Need to measure up... 20" - it will fit. I am thrilled to bits with it. The look I like at the price I can afford! I felt, even when I first saw it and thought WOW, that Keith was at my elbow, encouraging me to buy it . . .
