Things Around The House

Spent most of today at home so I chose my theme for my FB challenge right here at home.
This is our electric fireplace in our living room with a variety of items sitting on top some of which we have purchased and many which were gifts
I especially love the Dutch shoe--really pretty still life, Brian!

I love the photo above the fireplace! Thanks for sharing.
February 13th, 2015  
Cool shot
February 13th, 2015  
What a great shot, Brian. I love your picture on the wall and also the Dutch shoe.
February 13th, 2015  
All things important to keep and to be seen! Like the painting or picture above too!
February 13th, 2015  
Nice collection of items. I like that Dutch shoe.

This is beautiful.

Nice shot. Does the electric fireplace only light up or does it add warmth when on?
February 13th, 2015  
The photo above the fireplace depicting a long ago era is awesome, love that red bus!
February 13th, 2015  
I'm drawn to the bus, why? Who knows. Looks like a Pittsburgh Trolley from the 50's

Cool picture.

Good to see that 'Delftsblauwe klomp' (Delft blue clog)
February 13th, 2015  
Like the print, all looks nicely homely
February 13th, 2015  
Super shot
February 13th, 2015  
Love that Dutch clog, the Eiffel tower and the vintage scene above the fireplace is so awesome. I think it would be neat to have a theme entitled "things on the mantle" here on 365. If I EVER win anything (LOL) I will suggest it..
February 13th, 2015  
such a homely sight. Very pretty shot.
February 13th, 2015

Nice photo and the gifts we collect over the years fill so many spaces around the home. I'm not sure how to rationalise my ever increasing collection.
