Just listed this beautiful vintage pastel in my vintage shop. It had a really bland original frame and spotty mat so I swapped out the mat and reframed it in this vintage carved wooden frame. Listed at @gootdings.

A recent find - and placed temporarily in this vintage bamboo frame, which probably doesn’t match the New England vibe. But I love the house & style rendered - the perfect beach home, modest and a bit ramshackle, the place we all long for, or at least I do. A sampling of a favorite art find for the #tqitb (the quest is the best) @megillicutti

Sees the slithery seas? asked Simian in a drunken stupor as he rolled into the surf. I sees a sloshed seaman, said Sal and they drank more martinis. #sea #nautical #nauticalprint #beach

I know it’s National dog day but I only have a menagerie of vintage dog & cat (and a live one 😁) figurines wandering around my house. So for now I can only offer Picasso and this clever cat. Just listed these two prints in my Etsy shop.

Was thinking of Goa (India) the other day- if you’ve never been, go, it’s an amazing, special place. This is a pic I took of a great old bar in Panjim, the capital - probably not there anymore. And a (geeky 😂) picture of me, my husband and son. Long ago! Miss India! #goa #india #panjim

Sometimes the old coonhounds lounge out behind the damp haystacks after a hunt and smoke Moore cigarettes in ebony filters. Beautiful Antique Hermann Gustav Simon Hunting Dogs print. These are English Setters, I believe. Framed in original vintage wooden frame. 16.5” x 21.5”.
$75. Herman Gustav Simon was born in Germany in 1846. The Simon family emigrated to the United States, settling in Philadelphia in 1848. Early in his life Herman Simon displayed an artistic talent. He entered the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and exhibited in the Annual Exhibition of 1863. He also exhibited several paintings at the Centennial Exhibition of 1876. A contemporary of Thomas Eakins at the Academy, Herman Simon came to specialize in animal, sporting and landscape scenes. He exhibited several times between 1876 and 1887 at the Academy and with the Philadelphia Society of Artists in 1879-81. Source - Askart.com.
Told the girls I really wasn’t in a “gleaming good mood” for portrait taking, but Flora insisted. In two weeks I’ll be leaving her, my old silver cigarette case filled with Gitanes, my flannel trousers pressed for an exotic beauty in Tangiers. No more bourgeois banality for Boris! Kidding aside this is a very neat, old framed family portrait. 17” x 12. Wooden distressed frame.
$38. #vintagephotography #vintagestyle #vintagephoto #familyportraits #vintageportrait #familyphotos #gitanes #boug
Lovely hand-painted Japanese Moriage porcelain plates. Dreamy seascape with bamboo details. 7.25” diameter. Guessing they’re salad plates but prob best for decor only. Just don’t let Uncle Walt stub his cigarettes out on these beauts.

Wonder if this tiger pic really works with this frame? Maybe too busy? Both from the same time period, early 1900’s. #fathertuck #tiger #tigerprint #vintageframe

Wild Boar watercolor painting, an older piece. Framed in a reddish gold vintage frame. Why is the Boar suspicious? I have no idea. Perhaps he doesn’t trust the city and its clever creatures. 7.5” x 5.75”. DM for details.

Original watercolor jellyfish framed in vintage gold faux bamboo frame. 8” x 10”. An older piece, I kept it for awhile then decided it needed to be re-framed and let go in the vast wild & woolly world! I was in a sea creature phase at the time. Listed in my Etsy shop.

Original seascape painted on vintage Japanese wooden jewelry box. Very Florentine-like, which makes me guess it was probably originally made in Italy. Don’t worry, the original print on there was very boring, and did the box little justice ;) Left the original tag on the back. The box does have vintage wear. 7.5” x 6” x 1.75”D. Listed in my Etsy shop.

I was on the verge of buying these antique nesting tables, and then knew if I did they’d be broken the minute I set any cocktail down on them. (Ok, maybe after a few cocktails …). Of course I might change my mind. #nestingtables #antiquetable #cocktailtable
