Working
at Miss Hattie's those three days of the 'estate sale' paid for, with
a little left over, the things I walked out with. Mainly, this
display cabinet (has glass shelves).
The
first time I walked in that store and saw those two cases that one of
the vendors was using, I asked if she was interested in selling one.
No. Now, about 5 years later, I brought one home. The vendor is not
going to seek another place and so she was willing to sell the
cabinets. I also picked up this cute little birdhouse and this cast
iron hook thingy which I'm going to hang my keys on.
And
something for fellow blogger Mary Moon because every time I walked
past it in the store it said her name. I'm not going to show you
what it is until she gets it. And knowing me it will take me a week
or more to get it boxed up and sent off.
Monday was our 41st anniversary which we just let slide this
year. We have, after all, already spent a week in Hawaii this summer and
there wasn't a single movie playing that either one of us wanted to
see so now I'm trying to get back in my model making groove after
this past week's interruption and distraction. Or maybe I'll work on
making color samples for the drowned feathers. Something I have
never done before. Oh, I have plenty of color samples that I have
made but none made specifically for a project. Usually, I just wing
it.
Those are some great estate sale finds.
ReplyDeleteNo dusting. What could be better? Those cabinets come in very handy.
ReplyDeleteYay, you! I love all of your treasures and I can't wait to see what you are sending me. Take all the time you want- I love the anticipation!
ReplyDelete"Wing it" - haha!
like that cabinet, I have one real similar
ReplyDeleteAll my downsizing did not separate me from special treasures I got the several winters I helped Nina in her antique shop.
ReplyDeleteI really like the birdhouse! The display cabinet is beautiful. I wonder what you will display there?
ReplyDeleteDo hope you show us.
I'm going to put our personal collection of our work in there. well, some of it anyway. I have to clear this room out though, move some other stuff before I can get it set up.
DeleteMy dad has a display case like that (maybe a bit smaller) that he's trying to give me. I wouldn't mind having it, but we don't have anywhere just now. We stopped unpacking when my hip did its thing - maybe after all of Mike's books are on the shelves we'll find a place.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm very curious about what you got Mary Moon!
