Funny, that was my twenties, too.

This was the early to mid-1980s when I was not working (for money), had a daughter with no sitter ever to leave her with, and just wandered about the world with her. I had not much money either.<br /><br />In those years we (Jim and I) went to auctions too. Your photos make your Sally Anne stores look ever so much nicer than ours here in Alexandria, and I see such pretty glass and table objects (some of which you brought home), the type we did find at auctions (they "specialized" in art deco). <br /><br />Most of this stuff has vanished by now, but I do have from SA still a credenza (I called it for reasons in my past I can't reach). It's a lovely piece of irony looking cabinet furniture that stretches across a wall under a long window in our dining area. We have pictures for our walls (framed) from the auctions: a nymph on a rock against a blue background, an Alma Tedama of young people dressed as if they were British actors doing Romans for the BBC reading Virgil; a Columbine picture, two matching couches with soft gold-yellow upholestery (the cats don't do much for the fake ivroy frame). A desk. I used to haul the furniture home in a hatch-back sedan I had.<br /><br />Days with no goals beyond getting through them solvent and reading books,<br /><br />EllenEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979942382683140531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2716833846895246215.post-57970635394555174282010-05-09T17:15:56.428-07:002010-05-09T17:15:56.428-07:00Great post.
