Just a short post today.
Thought I'd take this opportunuty to show you this great antique phone I inherited.
The ear-piece had come off, so I used epoxy glue to repair it.
And the dial cover was missing, so I took a picture of some hydrangeas from the internet and made my own .
I got the idea from this great antique French phone I found a picture of.
I really like this Danish antique phone- but I'll settle for mine which was" free".
Just for fun, here are some other antique phones that I love.
This one is sweet too!!!!
And I wouldn't kick this one out of my bedroom.
What can I say......
And this one satisfies my need for a little bling in my life.
But back to reality........
Here's the phone on my end table in my living room- and it even works . I'd forgotten how much work dialing a phone is , but I'll probably just use this phone for decoration, and to answer incoming calls.
And did I mention that I saw the same phone at an antique store and they were asking $125.00 for it. The shop owner said she could get twice that for it, so it made me happy to tell her I had the same one and I got it for free.
Looks lovely - how great to have an original.

Oh, my! I felt like I journeyed to the past when I saw your phones. I purchased one the same as the first one displayed back in 1978 from our phone company here in Canada. I also had purchased the one where you say "Yummy"...don't ask me where they are now...strange how things just seem to disappear over the years. I have joined your followers list and invite you to join my followers list; as well,I hope you will grab a blog button. Hugs, Gayle
