SEA FANS

Black sea fans were in abundance at the last LEFTOVER'S open house during SPRING ANTIQUES WEEK in Texas. I picked two gorgeous sea fans to incorporate into my decor...

    I love your style, too...you can put anything together and make it look fabulous. I even love the piece of the bee's hive on the mantle. Your many shades of creams and browns and tarnished silver all work together so nicely. Nice going on the "nod" in the magazine. Hope to run into you soon.

    Those are beautiful the way you have them displayed.

    I loved your shop in Sanford. We haven't been up there in a while, but it certainly was taking a hit the last time we visited.

    Those look really cool. Oh and that wasp nest, never thought to use in decor. We have a huge one at our camp. Might have to get Camo Man to pull it down this winter.
