Dana Thomas House…Teco!
This weekend my husband and I went to Springfield to get in a bit of last minute Christmas shopping and to try and track down some doll repair supplies. It’s always an ordeal finding the things I need. I’ve never even seen a store just for doll repair supplies, so I end up visiting all sorts of strange businesses, hardware stores, antique and craft shops, even body shop supplies.
And as customary, while we were in Springfield we visited the Dana Thomas House. I’ll admit, I’m obsessed with the house…in my humble opinion, it’s simply the most beautiful home ever built. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1904 and is a shining example of his “Prairie style” home. I plan to keep visiting the Dana Thomas house until I’m old and gray, then hopefully I’ll drop dead during one of the tours and I can stay on and haunt the place…
While I always enjoy the tours, this time they had something new and special in the gift shop…Teco! Well, not the old Teco, which is pretty much untouchable price wise, but new Teco, made from the old designs! And it’s gorgeous! I nearly swooned over the Dana Sumac vase…I had to keep telling myself that it would be Christmas in three days and I was supposed to be buying gifts for other people, not myself. But then my husband reminded me that our 28th anniversary is coming right up…
Soooo, long story short, here is my new anniversary vase! The best anniversary gift ever!
