Fitting rooms were next to the babies clothing department and where the Little Caesars once was
Argyle Arcade, Glasgow
"A visit to Sloans should be made during the daytime so you can see its exceptional opulent Art Nouveau interior from 1900 situated on the first and second floors. The ground floor island-style bar with its quality fittings only dates from the 1980s. Built 1827-8 probably as part of the Argyll Arcade in 1827-8 by John Baird, this is a three-storey tenement-style building. The interior was remodelled in 1900 by Charles Robinson, who specialised in ornate bar interiors. He was commissioned by David Sloan, a prominent Glasgow publican of the era. Known then as the Arcade Café, it was described at the time as 'consisted of richly furnished dining rooms, coffee rooms and bars, in addition to a "cigar and tobacco divan" to which businessmen could retire'.
There are two entrances – from Argyll Street there is what looks like a tunnel under a building called Cranston House leading to the pub set back on the right. A small flight of terrazzo steps has ‘Sloan’s’ on one and ‘Lounge Bar’ on another. However head for Argyle Arcade to find what Historic Scotland describes as a tiled entrance ‘of exceptional quality’. It has a segmental-arched columned timber entrance with deeply recessed glazed timber two-leaf doors leading to marble staircase. The walls of the highly decorative passageway into the pub are completely covered in tiling – a dado of blue, green, yellow and brown patterned tiles with regularly spaced floriate tiled columns and cream tiles above. At the top of the stairs is a lobby with a mosaic floor having leaf symbols.
The ground floor originally consisted of a main bar with a large mahogany circular counter with three booths and ample seating accommodation. The island gantry included spirit casks and a leaded glass canopy attached to the ceiling ran around the top of the counter. Research has identified that these fittings were in place up to the 1980s. Also, there was a small cocktail bar on the ground floor. Nowadays, the ground floor bar has a wood laminate floor, an island-style servery with a U-shaped counter front that is panelled in the same style as that on the wall panelling with a mirror panel at the top all the way around. The island gantry has square columns topped with capitals holding up the top section, which has semi circular pediments at the top on both sides. Less than half of the lower shelving has been lost to fridges. Around the walls are seating bays – two on the left and three on the right, The bays have bench ends incorporating newell posts but whilst quality work all of it only dates from the 1980s. The oldest fittings are the etched panels in the toilets doors. There are doorways lined with similar panelling leading to another smaller room at the rear. It has 1980s panelling and fixed seating also a ‘Turners Brewery Pale Ale Ayr’ mirror on the far wall. This presumably is where the original cocktail bar was situated.
On the Argyll Arcade end of the ground floor bar there is an ornate arcaded glazed timber screen with etched glass and a two-leaf door leads to impressive panelled stairwell. There is an ornate heavy dark timber staircase to the upper floors with decorative newel posts and a large wall painting at first floor landing. At the top of the impressive staircase on the first floor there is the former cash office. There is an impressive corridor consisting of arcaded glazed timber screens with etched glass, Art Nouveau stained glass windows at the top, strapwork plasterwork to ceiling picked out in gold, and rooms leading off. To left of corridor a two leaf door leads to the large dining room with a panelled dado and bell pushes, deep frieze to cornice with low relief plasterwork with putti. More strapwork plasterwork to ceiling. Note one door has ‘Powder Room’ on it. Further down the corridor on the left is a ladies toilet in what was originally a small dining room. The former Smoking Room at the rear left has a panelled dado, deep frieze to cornice with low relief plasterwork with putti. More strapwork plasterwork to ceiling which with the frieze is painted a deep green colour and detail picked out in gold. There is an ornate wood surround chimneypiece with overmantle mirror almost reaching the ceiling. On the right of the corridor a two-leaf door leads to the former Ladies Dining Room is now a small bar with strapwork plasterwork to ceiling picked out in gold but modern seating. On the wall is a ‘Campbell & Co’s Edinburgh Ales’ mirror. What was the original ladies toilet is now a store room. Another former small dining room has been amalgamated with the lift service room and is now a kitchen with no old fittings surviving. At the far end of the corridor on the right what was a bar is now an office and the bar removed. (Various other small rooms still exist but they now have alternate uses.) Note there are letters above the doors – ‘C’ on the Dining Room, ‘F’ on what is now the bar, ‘D’ on a cloakroom, and ‘E’ on the smoking room.
On the second floor on the left is a stuning large ballroom with a vaulted coffered ceiling with detail picked out in gold, a number of small skylights, and stained glass exterior windows with a wreath motif. It has a parquet floor, and on the wall are timber dado supports and regularly spaced pilasters with plaster heads painted gold. All around the room there is a deep cornice with open pediments, egg and dart moulding and festoons with detail painted gold. At the south end of the room is a classical marble chimneypiece with horseshoe tiled insert, overmantle mirror, and above a broken pediment. At the north end is a bar behind shutters but as the right hand part has a different dado the bar may be a later insertion. Modernised toilets on second floor. Its listed category was changed from B to A in November 1996 and the listing descriptions states “Sloans is a rare example of a bar, dining room and coffee house complex with an exceptional opulent Art Nouveau interior. The upper floors contain dining rooms, smoking rooms and an impressive ballroom. The tiled entrance from the Argyll Arcade is of exceptional quality. Also of particular note is the quality of the timberwork, such as the arcaded glazed screens and impressive staircase. The decorative plasterwork is of some quality and completes the rich decorative scheme.”
As the quality interior-work is situated on the first and second floors visitors are recommended to ring ahead to ensure the rooms can be visited (or to pre-arrange a guided tour).

Church of St Matthew, Coldridge Devon stands overlooking the village green on land inhabited from Stone age times
It was named Colrige in the 1086 Domesday Survey, which referred to the manufacture of charcoal here
Some late 12c / early 13c fabric survives in nave and chancel from an earlier building which was dedicated to St Mary. (It was not until 1857 that references were made to the new St Matthew dedication, changed for reasons which remain unknown).
The first incumbent is recorded in 1270
The rest of the present church is 15c / early 16c however In Victorian times the building fell into disrepair and in 1877 work commenced with the restoration of the chancel followed by the rest in 1897. Many original features were thankfully retained.
It consists of nave and chancel under a continuous roof. North and south aisles with eastern chapels - The south aisle Barton Chapel & the later north Evans Chapel now used as the vestry with the organ hiding it from the chancel. The priest's door into the chancel reminds us of a time when the authorities owned the chancel whilst the parishioners were responsible for the nave & aisles.
The 15c two stage west tower has 6 bells - there were 3 in 1553, however the earliest bell now is of 1726 date. The metal clock was placed as a memorial to those who gave their lives in WW! . www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/9cC5MA0t20 On the north side is a semi-octagonal stair turret with tiny slit windows and topped by its own embattled higher parapet . On the west side of the tower is 15c granite 2-centred arched doorway below a 19c three light window. The south side includes an original small light to the ringing floor.
The 15c south porch pre 1855 had a flat roof until the present one gable was added. All in Perpendicular style
The windows are all late 15c granite, 3-lights, arch-headed with Perpendicular tracery but all of different in sizes.
There is an apparently 19c chimney shaft to right of porch, now redundant.
Of particular interest is a very fine medieval rood screen, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/b5b80YAmat claimed to be one of the best unrestored & unpainted screens in the Country, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/90BK5Sw978 and also a pulpit with fine carving. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/t46Ekn3KT5 Medieval bench ends are to be found in the church as well as Barnstaple floor tiles. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/chV596L5V0 www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/Y9w2Kb34d1
One of the south aisle bench ends is carved with the head of John the Baptist on a platter www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/Y46YM274s6
The splendid, ancient parclose screen in the chancel is of Breton design. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/e1QC61sY07
The oak lectern is late 19c / early 20c but the front includes a panel of oak carved in the same style as the pulpit and screen. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/5r06Q8oJ2c
On the reverse of the coving in the Barton Chapel one carving shows the upside down head of a Tudor lady with an enormous tongue ! www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/13P63P53x9
The granite font is late 12c / early 13c on a late 19c stone base. www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/904qx34813
There are references to Sir John Evans who died in 1514 whose effigy lies on his tomb in the north Evans chapel which he built.. flic.kr/p/eCxq1Z His shield bears the legend 'John Evas' (sic). (underneath carved upside down is a word "King" (?)
A capital between the chancel and his chapel is inscribed "Pray for Johhanes Evans" www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/1L57qjr7t4 Also surviving is his prayer desk with the words “Pray for John Evans, Parker of Coldridge, maker of this work in the third year of the reign of King Henry the Eighth” Amongst the fittings, the screen and pulpit are thought to have been placed here by him. He was park keeper of the deer park of Thomas Grey, Marquess of Dorset , son of Elizabeth Woodville & half brother to the princes in the tower. His effigy faces a window of c 1511 showing the eldest prince King Edward V, www.flickr.com/gp/52219527@N00/8ttXcJL0Q3 also placed by him.
At the moment there is much talk of John Evans being in fact this king who now is said to have disappeared from the tower and was sheltered by his half brother . People point to the EV of Evans being for Edward V, and that there is not evidence of why and how he was given the prestigious employment in the park & control over the manor . Others say he was probably born in Wales and came into England with Henry Tudor and perhaps fought for him at the Battle of Bosworth and as a loyal servant was rewarded. .....
The ancient communion vessels were stolen in 1867 by a local scrap dealer. A reward of £12 was offered. Two years later the dismembered silver was discovered when it was offered for sale in Exeter
The registers date from 1556.

(Of course i had a lot of fun on others as well;D)
I tried so many clothes in the fitting room because those were on christmas sale!!
Amazing price (ﾟ･ﾟ* !
This dress is one of my favorites.

These adorably tiny stands were crafted specifically for my smaller scale Tyco Little Mermaid dolls. While they could technically get away with my standard 3 inch base size, for the sake of fitting more dollies on display, I scaled down the base measurement. Plus, my Tyco dolls are fairly light weight, so having a super wide, heavy base isn't necessary to center their weight on the stands. Anyways, Beautiful Hair Ariel's stand has transformed since its original construction back in 2011. I remember Dad cut me this specially sized stand that year, after Ariel's leg broke on one of my re-purposed Generation Girl stands. Tyco dolls are VERY prone to broken legs--some dolls are still boxed, and yet both their legs snap off with time. So it was extremely important to me that my beauty was properly accommodated, to prevent any further leg damage. My original stand color and design choice was very similar. But since I was just starting out with handmade stands when Dad and I made this one, I was not as experienced with painting such small details. I remember that I crammed the words "Beautiful Hair" onto one line, and then placed the starfish designs below it. Let's just say that it didn't work out so great. Ariel's super tiny stand was one of my least favorites, and it made me extremely uncomfortable whenever I looked at it. Being a self professed perfectionist, I knew I had to make some alterations to this stand in 2014. It was around that time that many of my old bothersome stands from 2011/2012 got made over. The handy thing about this style of handmade stand is that the wood can be sanded down and entirely repainted. So that is exactly what I did. I tweaked the purple color of Ariel's stand so that the blue font would show up better against it (before the two colors were both so dark, that the lettering was hardly visible). I stretched out Ariel's name onto two lines, giving the letters far more room. And while I still stuck to starfish designs, I made these ones far more detailed, and the end result looks way less clumpy!
The orange stand on the right is meant to be shared between several of my Tyco dolls on display. Basically I have the option to change my mind about who stands and who sits--this is why it is simply labeled "Ariel." This stand is made to compliment one of the very first ones I made for my Little Mermaid dolls, which just so happened to be my dad's favorite stand I ever painted. The larger version is show in "part 2" of my Little Mermaid stand collages. Obviously since this stand is so tiny, I had to use Ariel's name instead of "The Little Mermaid," or else the lettering would have been massively over crowded. But like my original stand, it is orange with red flowers and white bubbles. This concept looks adorable with my little Tyco gals, and I'm so glad that I made it versatile so multiple dolls can use it!
Arista and "Sisters" Ariel stands were both made in 2020. I got the entire 3 pack of modern sisters together from the "Christmas Miracles Lot" for the 2019 holiday. Since I didn't need two Alana dolls on display, I was able to borrow my old Alana doll's stand for the new gal. However, Ariel and Arista required stands, since they do not have the ability to sit. I was eager to tackle this task, since I had so much fun making Alana's stand a few years before. I modeled Arista and Ariel's stand in the likeness of Alana's, but chose colors to compliment their molded tails/bikini tops. Arista's stand is green and pink because I had to replace her original fabric tail. The piece of fabric I used for the new tail had some green in the design. I thought that the pink and green contrast was delightful and was inspired to carry it over to her stand and matching hair accessory! She probably has my favorite of the three sisters' stands. Ariel's is the classic green and purple combo, seen on her iconic mermaid outfit. I kept the same general two toned style with top design and seashells, to tie them all in together. I think that the set of three looks darling together, and you would never know that Alana's stand was made several years before her sisters'!
A new Eagle showed up at the spit the other day. It appears to be just coming into its fifth year and reaching maturity, as its head and tail are mostly white, but still show traces of the dark juvenile colour. It's probably trying to establish a territory, and attract a mate. It found a tasty bit of fish skin, and returned to its pole for a nice quiet snack. A couple of younger juvenile delinquents showed up though, and chased it off the pole. It evaded them, and landed again, hoping to eat in peace. Continued tomorrow. Have a great weekend, everybody.
The large aluminum ring will hold the Hall Effect sensor for the tachometer. The steel shaft extension will hold the magnets for the Hall Effect magnets and become a spider to support/align shaft stock going through the spindle.

December 9th of 09 finds two J SD38-2's pulling down after arriving into New Brighton on L517. Bump the ISO, focus, press the shutter, and hope for the best. Im satisfied.
i had sudden inspiration... fitting inside a circle would be a full body shot, but i could look off into the distance and not feel so funny looking at the camera...
my daughter and i ran off to the park, where i remembered several tunnels... however, friends, they are not for adults... so i didn't fit!! hah! this brought many laughs... the idea, that i might fit inside here.
this brings to mind metaphors about fitting in... how we try to at certain times in our lives... do we grow out of this? to what extent? (my 12 yo is just beginning to consider this.)
still, it's my favorite of the day. one of the first days we've had here where i had to have a wool hat and coat on to stay warm.
(as a sidenote... i am thinking now about places for full body selfies all the time... the park had plenty more to play around with. and i am still looking for a tunnel i can fit in.)
It's getting closer to LOOKING like an airplane. Not quite as close to BEING an airplane, but moving in the right direction. This is the last work session of 2025.

I'll file the screw down flush with the coupler pad! The styrene will be used to mount the end rail too!
I don't know what this is, or was, as it's clearly damaged - looks like a light fitting, but it's a strange shape. Is the facing surface mica ? It's set on the side of a rusty warehouse at Gravesend's Albion Parade (or was, I don't know if it's still there).

Remember the days when families used to pile in the station wagon all the way back to the third row seat? The days when families would actually make use of the roadside parks and highway picnic areas? Let's take a trip!
Be prepared, this car shockingly attracts attention, smiles, and conversation wherever I have stopped.
This is a clean survivor! Truly a collectible. 1984 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser station wagon in Light Royal Blue Metallic. This wagon is still wearing it's original paint and interior fittings, as well as the 307 cubic inch 4 barrel drive-train it was born with. It has truly been given an immense amount of care to pass through 36 years in this stunning condition. I can say with some conviction that the car has not been driven in any salty winter weather, nor has it been kept in the sun.
The window rubbers, interior fabrics, dashboard, and carpets show no fade. The dashboard is perfect, without even the smallest suggestion of cracking or warping. All glass is chip free and clear. The only real suggestion of it's years would be the missing lower front fender filler plastics. These finally gave way in October 2019 on a highway trip.
All electrical options including the original Delco AM/FM Cassette radio, power antenna, rear power gate window, and climate controls are in full smooth working order. Heater is capable of warming the entire cabin in short order. Ten minutes of driving will have you sliding the classic control back to the left. Hot summer day cruise? Don't worry, this baby has perfectly operating R-12 air conditioning with a new AC Delco Compressor. The factory radio is in perfect operating condition. It is quite a throwback scrolling through the analog FM dial. As previously mentioned, the power antenna functions flawlessly, as does the dual opening rear tailgate and power gate window.
The glove compartment in the wagon contains the original literature, all manuals, even the Olds dealer's plastic key fob. On top of the dashboard is a custom fabric dash cover, to further lengthen the longevity of the dash material. The blue fabric seats have remained covered their entire life. I have only removed the coverings to take pictures of the vehicle. The wagons offered the Olds gauge package, which consisted of a full compliment of awkwardly placed analog monitors of oil pressure, temp, and battery. The analog clock even operates perfectly! The low fuel light and chime are operational and have been tested.
The Old's road manners are as new. Braking is impressive for a vintage wagon this large. There are no pulling forces in either direction. Steering is on point, with zero wander. Exhaust is quiet and in excellent condition. The Cruiser accelerates graciously without fault from a standstill, although without a sense of urgency as was intended during the time of emission control engine de-tuning. Tires are Dayton brand, and in nice condition. Original hubcaps ARE included, although I only have 2, as they tended to bounce off the car in any tight turn situation. I will include either the caps pictured, or the choice of one other full set of vintage metal caps in my possession if desired.
Floors contain zero rust and original undercoat spray is in place. Seemingly the only deviation from factory coatings are in a couple of the door openings. It appears the original owner brushed in a bit of red sealer paint over a few bits of cracking seam sealer from the assembly line. All trim is present, apart from the aforementioned fender filler panels in the front.
The rubber window scrapers around the car are unbelievably in perfect supple condition.
Weather stripping on the wagon is a 9 out of 10. The drivers door has a 8 inch section of abraded weatherstrip with a "repair" from the original owner. The car has no wind leaks or noises in the cabin at 75mph.
Drive this one home!

For DH: here are the four Hindsgaul fittings with which I have had experience, although I do not assume these are the only four fittings for the arms that they have ever used.
I am not certain whether A came before B, but I think it did. I may be wrong, but I put them both as 1980s and after, anyway. I cannot be sure because I have no number for the mannequin that A came with and B is not the original arm for the mannequin that it came with. It's just part of the fun of collecting.
Footnote: The fitting I need for the 1636 is B, which is why A would not work, unfortunately.
