A Wall of Starfish Prints
I've always loved natural history prints. This collection of starfish antiquarian prints is very pleasing and so nicely arranged. I love the old pharmacy lamp too. I have one that is very similar only mine is for a desktop. Have a great weekend. I hope you find a starfish or two if you are doing any beachcombing.

Christie's Auction House in NYC held an auction of the contents of the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum which closed in Branson, MO. The new owners of Trigger are RFD-TV in Omaha, Nebraska "Rural America's Most Important Network" who plan to start their own museum. I spent every Saturday morning of my childhood with Roy and Dale. Does any TV network rebroadcast those wonderful shows?
