My daughter's favorite new word is "allegorical". She is seven! We recently decided to buy new (old) dinnerware and chose the "Blue Willow" pattern for every day. Gracie tells anyone who will listen the story of the "Blue Willow" pattern, ending her saga with "such an allegorical plate, don't you think?" I like her.
I'm a antique dealer and Historical Folk artist. I created this blog to document and highlight my artwork along with my day to day life as a Artist, Antique dealer and collector. My favorite two periods in history are France's Ancien Régime, the time of French Queen Marie Antoinette 1770-1789 and the antebellum period of the American South 1830-1860. Both of theses periods ended tragically with war. I intend to explore furniture, architecture, decorative arts, culture, history, fashion and the people that made up these two fascinating periods in time. I recently moved back to my roots of Mobile, Alabama after living away for 17 years. Come and explore the restoration of my turn-of-the century Art's and crafts bungalow into a Antebellum show place.
