OOPS

Too long since my last blogg. We have been busy cleaning and straightening the shop. We now have a mini hardware store in one of our extra rooms. Saragrace and I sorted and found all sorts of screws, nails, paints, lacquers, lamp parts,and tools. Now we have no reason to go to the hardware store. Think of all the money we will save.

Lewis has been busy going up and down the road. Yesterday he was in the mountains following a lead from a fellow antiquer. He came home with a Robsjohn-Gibbings klismos table for Widdicomb, Edward Wormley wing back for Dunbar, and a Mirrored Grosfeld House console supported with plume legs plus a great old murano vase. Today he delivered the Bronze figure of the Boy and the Thorn, Spinario, to a local buyer. I really loved that piece so we are really glad that it found a home on the Northern Neck.
Sunday he takes off again this time his destination is Chicago. He found two great pieces that he will pick up. He will also visit with Megan who was the original owner of Ceasar, Lewis' buddy and faithful dog friend. He is really excited to see his friend from Virginia Tech Days, Graham Elliot. Lewis had lost touch with Elliot as he was known at tech, until he saw him on Bravo's Top Chef Masters. He thought he recognized him from tech checked with friends, and yes that was his friend on TV. So while in Chicago he will visit his old friend and dine in his restaurant Graham Elliot.
