		<title>Eastlake Dresser &amp; Mirror</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Talk about quality furniture!  East Lake furniture from the late 1800&#8242;s was made of walnut or oak and so sturdy.  The pin and tail dovetails &#38; spoon carved design are a sign of skilled craftsmanship and this dresser is in great condition for it&#8217;s age.  The swivel mirror is so old but you can still see [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fungus Among Us (Painting on Fungus)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[Man Cave Alert! This full-size 53 galllon whiskey barrel would look good in any man cave or wine cellar.

		<title>Duck Decoy Handcrafted in Vermont</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Dad was an avid hunter and fisherman. When I was a child, he&#8217;d occasionally take me along. I&#8217;m not sure why sometimes, because before the day&#8217;s end I usually got yelled at for doing something &#8220;stupid&#8221; which led to me crying. I actually cherish those times. He passed away over four years ago. He [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  My White Picket Fence This time of year reminds me of my dad redesigning the layout of our split-rail fence. Every Spring at our house when I was a kid he&#8217;d add more split-rail fence or tear down some and put it somewhere else!  We had split-rail fence everywhere. Along the stone lane coming into the house, along [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weiman Table for Serving Tea?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Heirloom Weiman Quality Table from the 1940&#8242;s has me perplexed.  We discovered it over the weekend and have been trying to find out about it&#8217;s purpose.  It must be a serving table of some sort because of the round brass carrying handle on the top.  Perhaps it was carried from the butlers pantry to the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Landshark Surfboard Beach Chair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Surfboard-looking beach chair brings me images of relaxing at a quaint beach cottage, taking it easy and listening to Jimmy Buffet tunes. It has just the right patina to make it work.
