Comments Please

It is very quiet on this blog. I know people view the blog, but no comments. Questions? We love questions, inquires, or suggestions.  I posted today about historical bottles and saw that I last posted about Lalique glass in May. Gasp. It hasn't been that long has it?

Yesterday, we took a walk through ebay on past ebay sales for American Brilliant Cut Glass. Sales are few.
Why do you think sales are few? It isn't just cut glass. It seems to be all types of glass. Maybe if we could shabby chic the glass it would sell?

Your House In The 1920's

A friend of ours bought an arts and crafts home in Payette Idaho. Two story with a full basement. It does need some design touches and paint, but wow, what a house. I was looking for design ideas for him and found this site. It shows kitchens, dining rooms, stairways, windows, doors, lamps etc. http://www.antiquehome.org/Inside-your-house/1920s/
