Here is a collage of some of the antique items which are in our latest house-sit. There is an inscription on the clock but I haven’t been able to read it yet. I’m a bit nervous about lifting it up. The jug is very pretty too.
We walked Russell last night. He wasn’t as energetic as usual but perhaps the hot weather is affecting him a little. We got three eggs from the hens and filled the cat’s bowl. Apparently Russell likes eggs so we might give him a couple today. We brought our own eggs with us and there are about four dozen in a fridge so, as the saying goes, they are coming out our ears at the moment.

Very pretty. Does the clock work? I'm thinking it chimes every quarter hour.

I would be afraid to move it too. Maybe take a close up picture and look at that

@JudyEv It’s lovely staying in a lived-in home with plenty of personal Knick knacks in. I stay in a lot of airbnbs and some are like that (the most recent in Paris was like that) but so many are just sterile - spotlessly clean with no nasties hidden by well-places pictures on the wall or throws over the sofa - but sterile. There’s nothing so disheartening as a bookcase with no books, a mantlepiece with no ornaments.

I quite agree with you. The ones we been in have dozens and dozens of knick-knacks and usually a great number of books too. The one in Ireland might be a bit different as the owners don't live there. It's an airBnb so may not have many bits and pieces.

I love the pink lamp. You are cooking the eggs before you give them to Russell pup? When I had hens and also lived with Rufus the rascal I only gave him cooked eggs cause he easily wanted to go help himself to fresh eggs and hens if I let him, I didn't want him getting a taste.

It's fascinating JudyEv. However, your sideboard or buffet with carving detail makes me more interested

He has them raw. If we went in the middle of the day and broke them on the cement floor then he could have them fried.

Antiques are indeed very unique and impressive. If there is such an item in my area, maybe it will be marketed and looking for a willing buyer at a fantastic price.

@JudyEv That's right. Because the things he likes are like his own family.
