Give Me a Sign
I was trolling my local Antique Mall when my heart quickened and palms got sweaty... Classic signs of Ihavetohavethis (Latin for, Aquireopathy)
Having had a white horse for 15 years there was just no question.
I pulled it out and saw on the back hints of another pony peeking out below the reinforcing boards. 15 minutes later I was home with tools in hand prying up rusty nails and boards singing, "Wild Fire" (OK- not really but go with it)
This white horse gets it's "paint" look from an old varnish that is amber and crackly...I rather like it.
I have no official information about the sign (other than I officially like it).
A search on the interwebs found that "The White Horse" was a pub situated in E. London and established in 1780. The pub closed in 1969 but had belonged to the Colchester Brewing Company passing to IND Coope in the 1930s.
I'm getting thirsty....

Slice of Americana
Thank you to all who work in service of our country (past and present) so I can enjoy the freedoms that I do. My gratitude is heartfelt.
This Memorial Day weekend was the best in recent memory. (likely better, I just can't say for sure...)
SALE!
I nearly had a stroke when I walked through the doors of my LYS and learned they had 50% off EVERY YARN in the store.
I was stuttering by the time I left...
Saturday took me to my friend's farm where I traded pavement and street lights for green grass and lightning bugs...
'Farmhouse' doesn't quite capture the home on their property. This is more 'party house' meets ''rustic artist' with a left turn at whimsy.
My friend's husband has used wood from the property to rebuild the railing in the center hall..
...and who needs a living room when you can have a second bar?!
When the band's not playing, the instruments lie in waiting...
while everyone's out back roasting marshmallows on the fire!
