ReplyDeleteThank you, Tamar. Have a great day!
DeleteI really like that english tea urn 1900 , Nancy!...and started thinking that I would place it in the centre of the kitchen table with ice cold water...and every now and again, I would get my refill to quench the summer thirst! BTW, Was that work desk set up with a big mirror? That would be a big distraction from work...don't you think so?? I probably wouldn't be able to calculate the abacus properly if my beauty constantly disturbs me LOL ;P It's wonderful to see old antiques...thank you for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Annie. I am not sure and I can't remember whether it was a big mirror or a portrait placed there. Have a wonderful day!
DeleteIt was great to see those antique tea urns and the old telephone :) Enjoy your day Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Riitta. Have a fantastic day!
DeleteMy favourite is dial phone it was only about 25 years ago when they were popular
