Weekend Wrap


We are in recovery.
From eating, driving, and shopping.
 Not regular shopping, not Black Friday shopping either.
If you read this blog you know it is not surprising we went to a moving sale on Friday, in Athens, where we were visiting.
It was on frat row near the University of Georgia in a lovely Tudor house.


The six of us descended on that moving sale like a family of vultures.
We are awful. But not shopping at midnight awful.


I bought two boxes of vintage items and my SIL, Sue, bought about the same amount of non vintage items. We are perfect thrifting partners as she buys newer items and I buy vintage.
The 1940's heavy glass bookends, pictured above, were acquired weekend before last at a yard sale and were made by the Federal Glass Company. 
I am not keeping them and this table looks nothing like this today as we spent yesterday decorating the yellow house for Christmas and I changed my game plan for this table after the aforementioned moving sale.

I will be taking photos this week and next of our finds from that moving sale and sharing those with  Christmas posts.

Linking with the darling Joy at Savvy City Farmer for Thrifting On A Thursday.

may joy and peace surround you

    I decorated some at 1515 (my other house) a few weeks ago so when I go back it won't be so rushed.
    look forward to seeing more of your finds!

    Happy belated Thanksgiving and lucky you - great finds! I love shopping with folks who don't like the same things as I do; it's so much easier to be nice that way. ;)
