This is a J W Fiske Cast Iron Fish tank or aquarium. It is in original as found condition. I have decided not to paint and restore it as the buyer may prefer to do it themselves. The base of the actual tank has 2 wholes, but those wholes cannot be accessed as there is a glass placed on top of them. I would think the wholes are original and for emptying water and possibly adding a pump to the fish tank. With the glass piece this cannot be done. This glass piece is cracked as shown. This larger Fiske rectangular model rarely appears in the market place. The glass sides appear to be original and are in good condition, with a minor Imperfection the size of a penny near the top of one panel

Pinterest is my go to for finding just about everything these days. I love how easy it is to find inspiring ideas on anything I need to know or want to do. Last year I did a post on Fall decorating ideas from Pinterest and it continues to be one of the most popular posts …
This is something I'm working on. "A Tiny Garden Party". Wanted to share. And gather your ideas. * How fun would it be to host "A Tiny Garden Party" where each guest created and went home with their own Terrarium. Beautiful little gardens of their own creation. Small enough to sit on a side table, kitchen counter, or a dresser in their rooms. As for containers, there are so many choices. Anything from a 2 litter plastic bottle to a more sophisticated glass vase. * I would love to teach the young women how to plant their own terrariums, of course coupled with a lesson! * terrarium by DoodleBirdie** LESSONAs I read the paragraph below, a number of different analogies came to mind. Without spoiling your own thoughts... what gospel centered principles come to your mind when you read this particular version of the story of how the terrarium first began? "One hot summer day a man walking through an arid field, where all plant life was withered and dry, saw at his feet an unbroken bottle lying on its side. Inside the bottle was lush green growth. Through wind and rain, soil and seed had drifted into the bottle; and there, protected from the elements, the seed had germinated and grown. The moisture within the bottle condensed each day and fell upon the little plants, and so they grew in their own small hothouse in the parched field."*SUPPLIES 1 or 2 small plants: Possible plant choices for Open Terrariums -Fittonia, Ivy, Palms, Philodendron, Syngonium, Begonia, Airplant, African Violet, Aluminum Plant, Asparagus Fern, Baby Tears, and Bloodleaf. And for Closed Terrariums - Fittonia, Palms, Philodendron, Syngonium, Begonia, Bloodleaf, Ficus, and Croton. glass jar or plastic container, large enough to hold plants with room for growth bag of small rocks or pebbles charcoal or fired clay pellets sphagnum moss potting soil wooden skewers or twig, to extend your reach and aid in the planting process tiny plastic trinkets, to add interest creativity INSTRUCTIONS Put about an inch of pebbles in the bottom of the container for drainage. Add a layer of charcoal to keep odors at bay. Note: charcoal only works for a couple of years. If you plan to maintain your terrarium for longer, substitute a layer of fired clay pellets. Add a layer of sphagnum moss to keep the potting soil from seeping into the drainage level. (If you pack the drainage level tightly, you can skip the moss.) Add an inch or two of potting soil and begin planting. Top off the landscape with rocks and plastic trinkets. Spritz with water. Sit back and forget about watering for a while. NOTE: Once established, terrarium plants can go weeks or even months on a spritz or two of water. That's because the water evaporates from the plant, but remains inside the container as condensation moistens the soil. Open Terrariums need only occassional watering, water lightly. Closed Terrariums watering needed only when fogging on the sides stops or plants starts to wilt * RESOURCES Twig: Moss Terrarium and Other Small Worlds "The Glass Garden", Ensign, November 1972

I was busy all afternoon, but these copper wire and crystal suncatchers are about all that got even semi-finished. At the market tomorrow I'll add 1mm brown leather strings to tie them to a rearview mirror or a window latch. Being mostly Chinese crystal with some Swarovskis, they'll be pretty bouncy with the rainbows. Thanks for looking!

The bathroom is almost done. Almost. I still have to hang the towel rods, the mirror, find a few accessories and artwork and it will be ready for a reveal. In the meantime, I'm looking ahead to the renovation of the kitchen that will expand into the old bathroom and pantry, replacement of several windows and a French door. Oh, and appliances and new cabinets. I was anticipating having cabinets custom made. Something like these. ...or these. Have you looked at the Plain English website? But when I saw the line item estimate for those, I was stunned. It's like buying a new car....and I can't afford a new car. I thought I would check out a local cabinet business for a reality check. There were some beautiful options. I was immediately attracted to this cabinet door with a rope detail. Beautiful. Apparently it's also THE most expensive door available too. Funny how I can do that. So maybe I could do something a little simpler... ...but use hardware with a rope detail to get the same feel. We went through the showroom and discussed a million details. Raised panel/flat panel, overlay/inset--did you know inset doors and drawers add about 30 percent to the cost of cabinets?-- lazy susan/blind corner, square edge/eased edge, apron sink/undermount, range hoods, on and on for about an hour chosing every last detail. I handed over a copy of my blueprints with the kitchen layout and they'll work up a plan and an estimate. And I left feeling disappointed. Shouldn't redoing a kitchen be exciting? When I got home, I checked my reading list a there was this post by Camille. She also links to a post by Joni Webb from Cote de Texas if you're so inclined. Go ahead and check it out. Take your time. I'll wait here. Okay. Ready to go? I find this unfitted kitchen much more interesting: "Unfitted" meaning not not necessary corner to corner....made from parts. Another image I've had on my Pinterest kitchen boards. And this kitchen from the movie "Message in a Bottle" has been in file for years. Even Steven Gambrel uses large furniture pieces for an unfitted look. So why can't I find a few pieces of furniture and cobble something together with some larger lengths of countertop, a nice new sink and new appliances? Just "make it work." So I hopped in the car to hit a few antique furniture stores. My karma must me good this week. Check this out: An 1880s, probably Danish, pine store counter with amazing details. It's over 11 feet long. I can't even fit the whole thing in one photo. Has eight of these columns. They almost feel like something from a Viking ship where the oars would go. Eleven feet of thick walnut on the top that could be repurposed. The back side has two eight-drawer sets of cabinets. The drawers move like butter! I don't love the color and it definitely needs a little love but there are a lot of really great details. Broken down and reworked, it's piece that could be given a new life and used for another 100 years. Suddenly I'm excited about a new kitchen!

After further inspection, she discovered that it was something much more than a $2 ornament.
