I love these old poems & nursery rhymes! They would scare you into
being good! Not very PC by today's standards though.

More great furnishings!! I could spend an entire day going through this house. Imagine what you might find....

The style of the bed is Henri Deux , we have it at our home to.
It was a complete set of a bed 2 side cabinets, wich were meant fore
a pisspot , or in Dutch a nachtspiegel, and a large cabinet for hanging clothes in with 2 mirror doors.
The time is 1910 -1920, a complete set you can buy now for about 2500 Euro .

Looking at the dirt and imprint on the coverlet it looks as though maybe a stray kitty or some other small animal has been sleeping here. We used to have a "shop cat" in a warehouse I worked in years ago that would sneak inside to sleep on the sofa in my office. She left a dirty mark like that.

And the Mama bear says "who's been sleeping in my bed?" LOL.
It certainly looks like someone has been there pretty recently.

The bedroom furniture is in excellent condition. With a little TLC it would be worth a pretty penny.

OK - so they must have had children to play with those blocks.
Where did they all go?? It's a mystery.......

What is that in the back room? A water pitcher or some sort?
It looks to be in great condiition!

Kind of sad if you think about it. You live your life, you pass on and no one cares!! if makes a very interesting find though.
Here in the U.S. the city or county would have taken the property for back taxes long ago and bulldozed everything.

What a wonderful old desk! I'd bet with a little cleaning and some oil rubbed into it that old wood will shine like new. I would love to have that in my office.

Great pic!!There appear to be cobwebs in the far corners near the door. Obviously no one has been in there in quite awhile! Another lovely light fixture as well Mica! These would have have stayed in tact this long in the U.S. Someone would have picked it clean by now!

I sowre I would quit when they hit a dollar when they jumped from .65 to .75 cents in 1976. The last pack I bought cost $2.37 in 1993.

This is the first time that moth registered clearly to me.

Oh Dear Mr.Tom - furniture like this may be OAK is so heavy.

Obviously. They have Zombie snot.
