Tony Paul Occasional Tables for Thinline –1960s. I bought them at a flea a few months ago and finally got around to cleaning them, touching up the paint and reassembling. Adjustable height…one salmon, one cream and one robin’s egg blue. Cool little tables, but I wouldn’t trust them with too many of my favorite cocktails at one time, especially on a rug! They are very similar to the Paul McCobb Cigarette Table.

Found a set of Yamazaki Gone Fishin’ flatware the other day at a thrift that is currently transforming itself into a boutique. If I buy another two soup spoons online, I’ll have enough for ten settings. Crazy looking stuff, but that knife is a pleasure to hold. Maybe octopus and fish will be on the menu for first meal.

Made in Japan.

Feeding time at the ol’ koi korral. They are loving the warmer weather and getting more hungry by the day.

@cazmockett thanks. You have to keep them thinned out, cut out the dead wood and the branches that are crossing over each other resulting in a tangle of branches. They need the air.

Finally!!! Things are growing. Spring has sucked here. It has been cold, windy and stormy. Lots of trees down!

But, the storms are behind us for the moment and it looks like we are going from the 40’s to the 80’s as usual, so things will happen fast.

Found a the other day. Cool sound. Today we had a massive storm, trees down everywhere. No power for the last 7 hours.

So what better time to light up some candles, grab a glass of wine, and ring the bowl to soothe nerves from today’s storm.

Found this great serigraph by Victor Pasmore yesterday at a thrift store a mile from my house. Unbelievable. Leading UK abstract artist in the 40’s and 50’s.
