Sometimes Bundling Is Required

Joe wanted this chair.

 

 

He wanted it for a certain price.

The lady who was holding the sale of antiques and vintage items, on her lawn, was trying to work with him. I had already bought an interesting pair of lamps from her the minute we got there.

The fabric is soft and might be linen. It is more yellow in the background than it appears.

Seems autumnal also.

 

When he decided to bundle the chair with this little round table they agreed on a lovely modest price.

The lamps have pink pine cones on them.

Pink pine cones?

The lamp bases are marble. It is awful to photograph a large tall lamp.

We had an enormous amount of fun going to estate and garage sales this weekend. I cannot begin to photograph everything we bought. One favorite item is a Rowenta iron for three dollars. I will spare you that image for sure. They are very expensive at around seventy dollars so I was delighted to find this one for ironing vintage linens which I buy and sell when I can part with them.

B&W, Silver and ...

Black, white, silver, and gold for Christmas.

 

 

I did not plan that reflection in the mirror but am glad I captured it.

This display was created by my friend, Bonnie, and I liked it so much I had to go home and grab my camera.

This is the same store that had the beautiful red velvet sofa from Sunday's post.

 That table had contact paper on the top of it and when she pulled it off it revealed the black paint and she left it like that.

Beauty is...

...right outside our kitchen window.

Wishing you a brilliant day.

I am off to visit a neighbor, then have lunch with my sister. 

See you later.

What are you doing today?

Flea Market Finds By Joe

Joe's flea market finds this week are rusty and beautiful.

The toolbox.

The rusty bits.

Joe is going to use the toolbox for it's intended purpose but I could see it on a shelf in our den.
It came full of tools too and I can barely lift it.

The rusty things with hooks are scales and we have no idea what purpose the long handled tool has.
We just like it. 

He paid about twenty dollars for all of this including the toolbox.
Joe is in his element when he finds tools to buy.

I will be visiting you, my peeps, later tonight, because I traveled yesterday to Greenville, S.C. to have new tires put on my Mini and I am exhausted. Thank God I was in the Pottery Barn, in the mall, when the dealership called me about an additional issue and gave me the price. 

If you are going to nearly swoon a Pottery Barn sofa is the place to do it.
