Greetings,
    Best wishes to you for this New Year. During our visit, Londoners complained about last week's miserable weather with rain and 50 degrees but I must say it seemed like the tropics there compared to the weather we left here with about zero degrees and snow. "Perspective" often helps.   

      We were excited to find  interesting, unusual pieces there in many areas of interest. Here are some of the pieces we brought home. Please see the sidebar for details. Your calls and emails are always encouraged. Please call for an appointment to see our tempting collections. Detailed images promptly sent to you.
   Do you have friends that might enjoy our updates? Please forward this to them for their interest. We are pleased to welcome your valued referrals and thank you for such recommendations.
 
Warm regards, 
Bob
