My blogging friend Terry of Square With Flair suggested adding this ring to the collection. It's from Tiffany & Co.

 This is an 18th century keyhole plate, made of iron. It was used on an armoire.


These are storefront tiles from Ybor City, in Tampa, Florida.

My entire series of Greek key designs can be found on my side bar — just look for the brown stele.
