Frame O' the Day- Monument Lighting Edition: Blixen from Anne et Valentin.


No, that's not one of the reindeer pulling Santas' sleigh. That was Blitzen... besides that's not even correct. In the original poem from 1823- when Rudy was just a youngster- the original name was Blixem. Really, you can google it. Well Rudy can't since he dosen't use a computer...they didn't have those in 1823. In any event, these ARE in stock now. The frame, not the reindeer of course.

Gail Spence 9904 aluminum half eyes by Pro Design. Get them while they last!

Image
Long time readers of our blog know what big fans we are of Pro Design and their Gail Spence aluminum re-issue collection. We were thrilled when after 20 years, Pro Design decided to re-issue (and improve upon) these timeless designs from the 80's. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and there will be NO MORE of these beauties manufactured. There is a silver lining however, and that is we DO have a limited supply of these classics available for immediate purchase...in ALL 4 colors. (Red, Copper, Turquoise and Silver). The even better news is that we are selling these at 50% off of the suggested retail of $325. (that's $162.50 for those of you who are bad at the math). We will even include FREE Priority Mail shipping with purchase. But hurry...these never last long. (I think my mother is texting me as I type this). Orders and questions should be sent to us at  pariswestoptical@yahoo.com . Don't miss out! Order today!
