Changin' up for the season.....

It's time to cozy up a bit, the weather has changed and we are using the fireplace more.....so I decided to change display on top of the entertainment center to something with more warmth and texture!

So, I went for this............

I've mentioned before that I collect miniature buildings, most were made for train sets but not all, example, this corrugated metal barn someone made by hand. 

The old school clock came out of a school room in Portland Public Schools.  It is what is called a "slave" clock because it ran off of the clock in the principal's office.  I guess then no one could cheat on the time and get out of school early (haha)!

On the other end, of the display, we have an old game board from  a game named after the famous Nellie Bly! 

Remember, I collect Bauer pottery and these are two of our vases. 

My favorite copper footed bowl hold crochet thread. Next to it sits my, I can't tell you how much I love the texture of this, roll of upholstery webbing and on top of that another wonderfully textured stamp, probably for wallpaper or fabric.

For more texture...another of my loves....the velvet red apple sitting in a silver candy dish!  The butterfly preserved in it's specimen box and, you can barely see, the piece of a wasp's nest next to it.

Getting up close and personal with the carved wood stamp.....gorgeous!

    

I don't often buy books just for decor but these guys were the exception....beautifully bound with a bronze/copper and lovely soft turquoise.  To die for!!!

 

 

Thanks for allowing me to show you some of my favorite things, hope you will stop by again soon! 

The scary part is..in about a month....we'll be putting out the Christmas decor......where does the time go?

Today I am linking to Metamorphasis Monday, Blue Monday and Tabletop Tuesday
