ABC love in 3D

house # envy





a very generous friend shared her contact details (ELTE, in To) for this house number collection.
superb art deco numbers.
all round & lovely mixed in with the metal's sleekness.
saw it on said friend's house. great taste, they have in heaps.


I havent enquired about price just yet (from my personal experience when price isnt given firsthand on a website, and a phone call is encouraged to discover what the damages will be, well thats often a given that you need to brace yourself for bad news on the other side of the receiver... with prices ranging on the (way up) high side... we'll see.

also, perhaps not a priority right about now. lights illuminating said #s on the other hand...ASAP
