Of course, this is awesome!! One of my very favorite stores to go to is where they sell antiques! Which is ridiculous because I am 99% looker, and only 1% buyer. But, I really enjoy looking and touching some of the old items that have seen life long ago and far away!

Many of the things are ornate and are not built that way anymore, but, it would not fit in my house, I just like to look at them. Some of those old clocks you show don't even work, but, they could make it work and how beautiful would that be to have a piece of something that my grandfather might have had?

Your posts show some very extraordinary pieces, some pieces are thrown together to make sets, but, someone who loves antiques doesn't mind the disorder. Although most here seem to be in order.

I have to wonder if those masks from Africa are authentic? Even pieces I am familiar with are hard to figure out if they are real or manufactured to look old. I want to thank you for bringing this wonderful post to my #MarketFriday doorstep! I appreciate all the time and effort that it took to put it together! Thank you and Happy New Year, Dan~!

Carlo Ponti was a great director in this film. I watched it probably about ten years ago, maybe less, but it sure was an oldie then and as my father said a real goodie. :) I was going to post a trailer from the movie, but, it doesn't show the meaning behind the antiques in it. You have to see the whole movie. And as always, I love the flowers!

Thanks again!

#MarketFriday loves you!
