I think one of my favourite things is that lock with the heart shape inlaid into it, but I also really love the blue and white ginger jars on the lower shelf in one of the early pictures in your post.

What a rich looking drawing room and all the details you selected are looking very luxurious! love the curtain detail, the work box, and the knife sharpening looks intriguing! The sheep for Sat. critters look well taken care of. Since I have been knitting, whenever I see sheep, I wonder what kind of wool they would give:) Happy weekend, blog friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-19702482210910089722016-09-11T00:04:08.259+10:002016-09-11T00:04:08.259+10:00It looks like a lovely property.

Pick my favorite? That is hard. I'll settle on three, the piano, the parlor or boudoir chair, and the lovely round cair with the pretty floral arrangement. Lots of furniture, I would hate to down-size from there. We tried but still brought too much. Our SIL said he counted seven tables that we moved. He had to have counted my 'Aunt Minnie' writing desk. <br />Again, we do need to visit N Ireland. Thank you for your invites. We came to London this may and ventured north far enough to Northampshire for a friend visit. <br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-43805953681000292572016-09-10T22:27:25.893+10:002016-09-10T22:27:25.893+10:00I really enjoyed this tour with you.

I would be happy standing there for hours with a field guide trying to identify them all!<br /><br />Gini and I are very well, but anxious to resume our explorations of Nature, which should happen soon.
