Home Decor Tuesday (April 10th 2012)

I'm kinda in shopping withdrawal right now because I did not get my adequate shopping time in this week. I'm going to remedy that ASAP but for today's home decor blog I only had time to go to one place so of course I chose the best one: Broadway's Best Antiques. I love this store because it has so many odd things that you would never find anywhere else. For example:


Taxidermy deer head. Check the expression on his face.

A vintage tiger in a cage, and a tiffany lamp.

What exactly is this? I don't know but its cool looking and I want it. I'm pretty sure I could do serious damage to an intruder with it so there's always that. 

Is it a banjo? Is its a wall clock? Do people under the age of 30 still know how to read roman numeral clocks?
(I would paint this teal and wall mount it)

A lamp that's both masculine and tassled. You just don't find these things!

A mirror - always good to have around (unless you're a sparkly vampire)

Set of large soap dispensers

Really big bird cage

I'm feeling alittle dizzy now so I think I'll go lie down and watch some TV. Shopping withdrawal is a silent killer. Don't let it happen to you!!

    Fantastic and interesting home decor. That third thing is a weather vane with the space for the name of the home, or owners name, to be inserted on a plaque on the left. Indeed you are right it would make a very good weapon.
    I love going into these interesting antique home decor and furniture stores, but most of those things would look silly in my house. I use to live next to a person who had an older Victorian style home, she had mostly antique furnishings throughout and it looked great. Somebody bought the home years later, gutted it (it had small rooms) and furnished with modern furniture, it looked great too but I admit after seeing how the first woman had it, something was lost in the change.
    Again great home decor blog, enjoyed

What's in a name? Who are the Jossy's and where did they come from?

I decided to research my Jossy Patriarchal line as far back as I could. I made it all the way back to the 1300s and along the way I learned some things. For one thing my last name has evolved over time. My father spelled his last name Jossy but a few generations back they spelled it Jossi. Go back a few more and it becomes von Jossa. This journey took me from Washington State to Oregon to Switzerland and eventually Germany. I also learned that the "von" represents nobility.  I also noticed that they repeated the same first names a lot. There were a lot of Peter's for example. Peter is a very old name. The people of ancient Greece used it and its said to mean "rock." Of course Peter was also one of the disciples of Jesus which is probably where most people know it from but Peter the disciple was nick-named that by Jesus. He was born with the name Simon and I found that name in my Patriarchal line too.  Simon is also an ancient name. It means " hearkening or

Elon Musk isn't the only one interested in the underground

I've always been fascinated with tunnels. As a young girl I went spelunking on a school field trip through several caves in the Ozark Mountains. I couldn't tell you where exactly but I vividly remember one cave that we had to go down through a small opening down into a huge cavern where we camped inside for the night. It was as big as a football field. Another cave we had to wade through red clay almost knee deep. As an adult I visited Montana and we went into a small narrow cave just tall enough to walk upright and narrow enough to be able to touch both sides of the cave with my hands. Probably to the annoyance of my companions, I couldn't help but to sing as we walked because the sound was so amazing in there. Cave resonance I learned recently is a real thing and can be very powerful at healing and accessing our third eye spirituality. If you study religion at all, you know that many mystics and spiritual leaders received inspiration and messages from beyond while spendin
