Turquoise Foo Dogs

I think these guy's are absolutely gorgeous.

The 1st 3 foo dog pictures are of a very costly set. Click on them and you will be directed to the site. But don't get too excited....they are sold. And they sold for $1,506.50.

The last picture is of another set that sells for about 25.00 or 30.00 dollars. And they look it compared to real real deal........but if you have nothing to compare it to......

(Click on that pic and you will be directed as well.)

I have always heard some funny business about Foo's being bad luck.

I am not superstitious, but the way things are in the world right now......

I am not willing to take a chance. Are you ?

so here is my Little tip:

After a bit of research I found out that you just NEED TO GET A PAIR.

And as individuals.... they need to face opposite directions.

And WHEN YOU PLACE THEM they need to be able to have their ugly little heads

facing each other just like in the very 1st picture at the top of this post.

Tiny Chest for Make-Up

I went with an art dealer friend of mine from Sun Valley Idaho to this huge antique show that shows and sells exclusively America Old West Antiques including these humongous (I mean 25ft x 15ft)Hand painted circus posters from the day when a circus was a circus….I am a bit off the track but I (who was born in Texas and tell no one! - I hate being a Little Cowgirl) after
3 days found myself drawn into all of it. It really was fascinating.
I brought the coolest corkscrew back. It was from an old saloon, imagine what went on around that corkscrew. Do you think someone like Miss Kitty from Gun Smoke used it?
I do.
The corkscrew hangs on the wall in my kitchen and people always comment on it.

Ok, back to the topic…..
I also bought some Cowboy Eye Doctors traveling medical box that he would have carried all the lenses in for exams.
It is designed in such a way that it has about 12 drawers , each measuring 5.5” W x 1.5”H x 13” D. The finished height of the piece is about 14”.
It has this great masculine leather handle on it.
I bought it thinking I would sell it to one of my clients.
When I got it home I was just sitting around starring at it and wondering if it would work well as a make-up box on my dresser.
YEP!! It certainly did.

Since then countless other women that I have worked for and with have all adopted this
Design Idea. It completely un-clutters your dressing area and keeps everything tidy and organized. I am not an organized person in the least. I love this thing.

You can find tiny little chests at craft shows, flea market, overstock .com and orientalfurniture.com, marshalls, tj max, ross….the list is endless.
Ladies, ( and you know who you are )

I promise, you will love it too.

PS all the above little chests are small and not actual large dressers-

my sister just emailed me that i was unclear. sorry.

as always,

Angela Bassett

In "Waiting to Exhale", Angela Bassett was none too happy as a hot property dumped by her unfaithful husband. Now she has closed on her hot property in Los Angela's Hancock Park.
Ms. Bassett bought the house more that ten years ago and has lived there with husband Courtney B. Vance for the past ten years. The 5 bedroom 7 bathroom house is a French Colonial built in 1940. It has a gourmet kitchen, full gym, and hair salon. She added a 1,380 square foot two story guest house. Although the property was originally listed for $4,999,999 it sold for $3,900,000. Her decor style seems to be conservative and classic. I'm not sure where Ms. Bassett has found new digs but I hope to get a glimpse soon.
