LUCKY RABBIT HOPPED OVER TO NJ



Tom and I hopped over the GW Bridge yesterday to check out the most amazing house. It was built in the early 1900’s by the most recent original occupant.
The family was very prominent and viewed as upstanding members in the community. They also had very active social life in the art scene and hobnobbed with some of the most prominent families in Manhattan.
It was like taken a step back in time. Nothing had changed in the house since its occupancy way back when.
It was unique in that the woman who lived in the home was a secret hoarder of quality antiques and basically never threw anything away.
Tom and I were like kids in a candy store. We found all sorts of interesting items dating back to the turn of the century.
Loads of ephemera, furniture, antique grand father clocks, art work, musical instruments, lamps, light fixtures, wall sconces, china, and crystal. I could sit here all day listing the items we looked at!
All three floors are packed with antiques! It really was a picker’s dream house!
