Why Didn't I Think of This?

I was just hanging up a new cork board that I purchased and noticed these unique picture hooks on the back. What the heck are they? They are called Beehive Picture Hangers and can be purchased here. They have multiple holes so the pictures/paintings level themselves. No more measuring or adjusting and, best of all, the frames won't tilt or move. Brilliant!

Interesting Articles on Antiques

I was reading today's San Francisco Chronicle Home & Garden section which had a few noteworthy stories regarding antiques. Definitely worth reading. Enjoy!

More Vintage Lady Portraits...

Just flipping through the new issue of Home Companion magazine and this vignette of lady oil portraits caught my eye. I recently posted about collecting vintage portraits and love seeing what others have done with theirs. These paintings are by Harold Gore and from the collection of Carolyn and Nikki Moore.
