Well it's been another interesting few days in the antiques business. The motorcycles are gone which means we can actually speak and hear one another again. We love to see them come and we love it even more when we see them go. Kind of like fish and company which stink after 3 days.
So Father's Day was Sunday, which is my normal day to try and get some R&R, but I left Frank napping in his favorite easy chair watching tv through his eyelids and headed south 75 miles to a small town outside of Concord to one of the most interesting abodes I've had the pleasure to visit.

This geodesic dome was built in the 1970's and was the home of Joseph Scannell whose art we are representing. We hope to have a retrospective of his work and that of many other mid-20th century NH Artisans coming up this summer in our gallery. More on this later but suffice it to say that every visit yeilds some wonderful treasures - both old and contemporary.

One of my favorite parts of this business is the learning and I have sure had a wonderful time learning new things from Josephs widow Ellen. Joseph and Ellen were not only into art and architecture but were both deeply religous and knowledgeable about Catholics and mythology. Very interesting folks!
