This
wonderful Eastlake bed occupies its own gift-type display
box in my guest room. It was from Pam Kille of Etcetera,
Etc., now retired, who sold such fantastic fabrics and trims.
I won
it in a raffle at a Southwest Roundup in Roswell, NM. When
my name was called as winner I screamed with joy and the
rest of the room groaned in disappointment. Roswellians
probably thought they were hearing a massacre or something
from that hotel!
Is this
gorgeous or what? It's all hand-tufted.
Look
at those pillows! Can you imagine how long it took to gather
that much lace, not even including all the lace everywhere
else?
Here's
an example of the quality work. Even the bedskirt is
perfect.
Not
only did I win the bed, I won all this, too. No wonder
they groaned, you say, huh. I have a jewelry box with
a stained glass lid that I am thinking about using for
this dressing table and stool.
Not
sure yet where I will use the chaise this time. It has
appeared in various places over the years, too. That
hat was a Christmas gift from a club member one year.
This
perfume tray was included in the raffle prize, as well.
Love that lipstick!

Unfortunately,
I have probably collected 'way too many beds. I have
several more, but haven't dressed them because I haven't
done the wiring on the San Franciscan house or any of
the other houses where they're supposed to go. Maybe
I should start giving them as gifts; let somebody else
worry about where to put them!
