((please nobody point out that the horse is actually copper..... we're not telling him he's adopted. ))

Please pardon the dust... the maid....... well.... we don't have a maid, unfortunately!

I was a little worried, I hadn't heard from you. I hope they were s good as you had hoped.

I'm stoked!

I think it was a square deal all around.

I started looking around at the brass goodies I have held on to and realized there are some pretty cool pieces. I will leave to your imagination what we call this item...



We also kept this item. Debby calls him Bud, because he's a longneck...



I overpaid....

A family friend has a dining room suite made of solid brass. Imported from Turkey, I think. Each chair is 200#, and I have no idea what the table weighs. It's impressive!

Overpaid is my repetitive bad joke. I gave $5 for the giraffe.
