On the way home!


Lewis decided not to visit the shop out side of Chicago. It was an hour further than he had gone and 14 hours back home. So yesterday he started home with a mostly full van. This chest on stand is a piece that he found in the Chicago area. The doors open and there are shelves inside. What a great design! He also picked up a pair of classic art deco end tables. Buffa?
While traveling this morning Lewis saw some confusion on the road ahead. He had to brake suddenly because directly in front of him an electric line fell onto the road. What are the chances of that?

Chicago, Chicago What a Wonderful Town!





Well yet again Lewis is on the road. This time to pick up some items that he had hunted down. Yesterday he sent a photo of a great rosewood table that he spied in Ohio. Too bad he did not have room for that table, as he is picking up some large pieces. The hunt goes on. I asked him to send photos from the road. So, he sent this photo of his left overs from lunch. OK, Lewis so you drink diet Coke so you can do in two containers of ketsup with your fries! I actually think this photo is great, both in color and composition. He had a hard time antiquing on the way because you have to exit the toll road to find shops, paying a toll and then you had to get back on and get a ticket etc. In fact the state run toll roads had a monopoly on gas consumption and places to eat.....always fast food. Here are two photos from the road.
