The colorful objects shown all come from the inventory of Susan Wechsler, a seller of objects from beautiful to funky. You'll see this color and excitement from South Road Art and Antiques all the time...Susan attributes her sensibility to growing up in the seaside carnival environment of Ashbury Park, NJ. Susan selected a few wonderful pieces to share for this post.
Susan Wechsler is the former director of Photosearch Inc., a photo editing firm that specialized in art, history, and popular culture.
