Unique Antique Velocipede or Tricycle - Horses

This Velocipede or Tricycle is in the French museum:
Union des Arts Decoratifs Musee in Paris
BOO !!! Since Halloween is near I thought I might just startle you a bit......
(Scary little man on a Velocipede or Tricycle !!!)


Some of you ( too many to count) have spaces above your cabinets in the kitchen / family room from the top of the cabinet to the ceiling. Sometimes that space is up to 12 feet.
You need something there, and enough with the fake plants already!

Or other elevated areas that need large accessories. Or even next to a chair in a corner-
Something that is interesting, and I particularly like things that move/function.
One that I find interesting and have used are these little tricycles.

I found this gorgeous piece at an antiques store in Austin Texas. Click on the pic and it will take you to the site. It is a costly piece , but you get the idea and you can pic up little fakes at

'T.J. Max', 'Home Place' etc, etc.
Just Look – you will find it.

This is the type of thing you can find in the discount stores that I mentioned above.

This was in the paper in 1933
