Carrousel ...You're not weird in the least Bill!<br />Carrousel horses are highly collectible examples of American folk art and quite pricey if you can even find one anymore outside a museum. I must have seen that Twilight Zone program with your wife, since I find them a bit scary. They seem imbued with an inner life that is quite fierce. Give me Bambi! <br />and Dumbo :)<br />xCarolgParisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-90055678407188611352011-01-04T06:27:40.727-05:002011-01-04T06:27:40.727-05:00Thank you Carol for all you share and do.

She saw a Twilight Zone episode that had a carrousel horse in it, and as she was young at the time, it really scared her. She said she cringes every time she sees one. I, on the other hand, would love to have an antique horse in our living room. I think it would be so magical! Man.

We had wonderful artists working as calesitas makers, the most important were the SEQUALINO BROTHERS. They also built calesitas for uruguay,<br />Brazil, Chile, Paraguay. I had the pleasure to meet them long ago<br />( now they all passed away ) while working at an antique shop. They<br />were so nice and humble, even though they were already famous.<br />Unfortunately the factory closed in 1984.<br />All the best for you and Bear.<br />Love, <br />CristinaCristina in Argentinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-9480322747327951942011-01-03T20:13:18.810-05:002011-01-03T20:13:18.810-05:00I didn't know about Mr.Charles Looff, but now ...I didn't know about Mr.Charles Looff, but now I do Nikon!<br />Wonderful stuff...love his greyhound at the Boston MFA.<br />I didn't know about the immigrants or the brass ring...<br />I'm such a chicken when it comes to carney rides..even the merry-go-round.<br />The swan ride on the lake I liked :)Parisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-52151376444935547562011-01-03T20:06:56.801-05:002011-01-03T20:06:56.801-05:00Lovely, melancholy blog today.
