The picture doesn't do it justice.  The brass is carved and designed by hand and even has the artists name carved on the side "Gony Cava".  I have no idea who he is ór what country this piece is from, but I will do a little research tonight and try to find out.  We'll pick it up tomorrow.  While I was reserving it, the guy asked my name.  I said, "Melissa".  "Oh, like the woman on TV!" he said.  I laughed and said, "yes, that's me."  "No way!! But you look so different on TV!!"  "Of course!!" I said.  " Who goes around every day with stylists and big hair and tons of makeup?? Don't feel bad...my kids don't even recognise me on TV!"  He laughed and said, "Well, you are beautiful here in front of me and beautiful on tv, but you just look diferent!"  He was very funny, this guy.  There was already a songwriter from California who recognised Lillen and then an englishman came up and said he recognised me and told me all about his kids and grandkids and I just had a ball listening to these people!!  I think this was my first experience in sthm with being recognised and in a way, I felt like I was in the U.S. again...not that I would be recognised, but the spontaneous conversation with people you don't already know. That is so commonplace in the states.  I realised today how much I missed it and I was sad that you had to be quasi-famous to experience that here.

Anyway, the table is going to be loved.  Will fit in perfectly with my arabian theme on the altan.  Since the altan is being renovated, I will test it in my living room a while with some glittery indiska candles or something.

YIPPI!!!
