Black Onyx, Nekkid Man, and Kittens

How is that for a title?

~♣~♣~♣~

I had way too much fun at an estate sale this weekend.

I went Friday and purchased a few pieces of pottery and promised myself I would not go back.

So.

I was going to an art show on Saturday except I could not find it.

I was very berry close to the estate sale.

Promise to myself broken like a stale saltine cracker.

~♣~♣~♣~

Most everything except the Persian rug (I wanted it too) and large furniture was one half off.

I bought a Quimper tea cup and saucer, black onyx Fenton urns,  and best of all a large canvas transfer of a little girl holding two kittens.

The picture was difficult to photograph and the image does not do it justice. It is so pretty.

I almost forgot my nekkid man urn. Hehe he is nekkid I think!

I refashioned the dining table at the yellow house using the urns, an old brown bottle, and wrought iron pumpkin holder.

  25. I just love that you spelled naked nekkid. I always say it just like that, and Tanner thinks I'm weird. But hey. I'm from the South. It doesn't come out of your bones!!!!

    Estate sales are like a drug to me. Can. Not. Resist. I think about them all day. I daydream about being the first and only person at an amazing one where a 94 year old lady died and kept EVERYTHING....but her kids aren't really into that so they're just selling everything for a dollar. and I happen to have 500.00 to spend. How's that for TMI?! hahaha
