The eyeball came from a surrealist themed bar in Washington D.C. . The bar is defunct but our friend and Mrs. E. did manage to procure one of the eyes which were used over the ceiling lights. On high holy days it is used as a G&T pitcher in accordance with the custom instigated by our friend. Hi Jan, I like that you change the decor seasonally.

Well here at Rosemary Cottage — a very basic suburban house — there are very old portraits-on-oil around the house; mid-century prints of European watercolors hanging in the dining room for the summer — and a small collection of vintage Ouija boards in the home office/guest room. Love them all! — including a very homemade oil painting from Goodwill that hangs on the wall by the breakfast table. At the Winter Holiday time — it is replaced by a framed Christmas fruitcake recipe — in my Scots grandmother’s own hand. And in the fall — I have a Victorian embroidered Tree of Life tapestry for the dining room. And — in the main guest room — an old tapestry from Belgium of a huntress with a falcon. Now — which of these artworks will be dashed by a so-called design or art expert? And will these experts march up to an art museum’s shop and demand that the prints or reproductions be removed because someone thought that the peasants should not have them in their homes?
