Hi Anne, we met at the Paris by Mouth party, and my internet's been down since then, so this is my first chance to check out your blog! I'm fascinated with ironwork, too, and I always get excited when I spot the same pattern I used to have outside my window. (The new apartment doesn't have any scrollwork. Boo.)
Camille: Thanks for stopping by. Guess I need to check out the pattern outside my window. Funny, that never even occurred to me!
I don't dare state what this appears to be for fear of being called 'racist'.
Okay... those do look like Mickey Mouse ears.
