The Hick-Mabel New Arrivals

Looks like Hick is still picking up golden items for Mabel. She might have to build her own themed-shed museum if she wants everything Hick has to offer.


First of all, we have this THING. Not sure what it is, but maybe a headboard for a twin bed? The topper decorative thingy for an elaborate curio cabinet? Your guess is better than mine. I think it would be lovely with a fresh gild of gold, but I'm not sure how it should be displayed.

Next, we have another frame.


A really BIG frame. Square, this time. The picture inside is not altogether unpleasant. I had trouble getting the photo, because any other angle yielded me the bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

As you might have surmised...it's been another slow angst day in Backroads.

  1. The chairs would look nice if refinished.

    1. You're preachin' to the choir, buddy! Hick got them at the end of someone's driveway, and I think they've been sitting there for two years now. They have logged a lot of cat-nap-hours, and probably been a dog's urinal more times that I want to know. When he first got them, they didn't even need REfinishing.

  2. If Mabel doesn't want all that gold stuff, maybe Hick could sell it to the folks at Trump Tower!

  3. That first piece, which is gorgeous by the way, has little attachments either end indicating it is part of a larger piece. Anyway, I love it. I would paint it gold and put it up over one of my doorways. The square frame is nice enough, but doesn't really appeal to me.

    1. The square frame is so big, I don't know many things that would go in it. But Mabel has a lot of posters from New Orleans that she wants to frame. I don't know if that shape would work for them.

  4. I think Hick should DO SOMETHING WITH THOSE CHAIRS before they are completely ruined and worthless.

    1. I have mentioned that many times, but Hick is Hick, and will do it when he's good and ready. For all I know, he's building them a special shed...

    3. Let the record show that I have not actually SEEN a urinator in action. But you know how dogs like to spread it around all willy-nilly. (Formerly Puppy) Jack gets the support holding the porch steps handrail now and then, and last week, I caught him eyeing Gassy G.

  5. The headboard piece is really cool looking, I love the design of this piece and the gold plating of it. Thanks for the share, hope you have a fantastic rest of your day. Keep up the posts.

    1. Thanks. I share as I can, since it would be a shame for Hick's treasures to go directly into a dark Freight Container Garage.
