FIVE THINGS I LOVE

I got to thinking... being that this is a blog about collecting...well mostly....whats the the things I love most.
I love lists of things.
But problem !!...there are so many that I think I will have to make, say a monthly post of 5 things at a time.
So here goes post 1


No1} My Cat "Hector" I love my cat he is my little big man, here he is getting ready for Christmas ...lucky it was my Dad's plate he was sitting on.....


No2} Books...I love reading, mostly obscure random autobiography's here is 3 I have been reading this month.

 

No3} Vintage Perfume...Of course I collect vintage perfume why? because I don't like the new synthetic perfumes much.... this is just a small selection of what I own...my favorite is "Coeur Joie" by Nina Ricci it is just sublime... very rare and very expensive, I bought some when I did have money.. it stopped being made in the 1960's although sometimes they bring out special editions.



No4} Australian Pottery...I have been collecting these Vases and pots since I was a teen, I just love the colors and dripping glazes...photo was taken in my Cafe where I use them as decoration not for sale...ever...painting at the back is another of my brother's the artist, it is for sale !

And more



No5} Antique Art Deco and Art Nouveau Rings....I own a hundred or more.. sets in different colors one for each finger, most likely one of the best collections I have ever seen  [she says modestly] this is just a few I could be bothered to find today, stunning I think..


OK now that's done...What are your first 5 favorite things ?

MY BROTHERS ART

I have a Brother who is a very good artist......
Although fully trained in all aspects of drawing and painting with a Diploma in Arts, his great love is abstract.
He is gaining a following in Australia with his large colorful thick oils canvas.
His latest works are inspired by Global Warming, I wish I could remember the names he has given the ones below ....but I will add that when I can.
What do you think?
Anyone interested in buying a painting please contact me.
