I have had several emails from friends saying they have found one of my knockers at eBay or online. I even received websites of restorative door knockers and all have been great. Actually, there was a perfect hand knocker on eBay that was extremely reasonable. But as one blogger friend said, the search is as much fun as the find. So, I am waiting until I get to France, specifically, Alsace Lorraine area, where I know I saw many back in 1981. Something about the authenticity of finding one in France is very exciting.
The collage above is framed and sits on our buffet in the dining area. It is composed of our photos and is very special. At first, I felt rather shy about photographing doors, but the more photos I took, the braver I got.
Susan, great collage! The Victorian Era surely was filled with elegant style & whimsy. Oh, to have that creativity today.
ReplyDeleteI love your collage, Susan. I suspect you're really looking forward to your "hunt" this spring.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!

The door knocker collage is pretty awesome. I hope you bring an extra suitcase just to put all those fabulous door knockers that you are going to find while traveling in France.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will share your finds with us after your trip.
The French always have the most gorgeous door knockers. What a great idea to bring some back. So much more practical than toting a porcelain hen from Provence that I wanted to do.

Sam, I can truly understand your 'needing' that porcelain hen. Since I don't travel alone, ahem...that would have been a bad suggestion, if you know what I mean for me. I do love porcelain hens and chickens though.
ReplyDeleteMany times the joy is in the journey!
ReplyDeleteTHose are GREAT!!! How FAB would that be to have one of those on your door!
