Estate Sale Goods

We saw this massive chippy white cabinet at an estate sale on July Fourth in Wrens, Georgia. We arrived about thirty minutes after the start of the sale and it was already sold. I was sick about it.

 It has shelves inside and you can see the lovely patina. The price was good too. I apologize for the dark images but every day is a rainy day in Georgia.

This was a pretty bamboo chair.

The old wicker set is certainly charming. It has some damage but I think I could live with these pieces easily.

The chenille spread had many stains which OxyClean could have handled but I passed on this beauty too.

What did we buy? A sofa for our den. Nothing terribly exciting. Also in the worst room possible to photograph. I will post it later. When my house is clean. When the moon is full on an odd Thursday.

Five Minutes Of Sun

What do you do with five minutes of sunshine? 

Snap a few images of the living room just to enjoy that rare sun. Remember we have the Mini Wee's and Cindy Lou Who who is basically in the holy terror stage of kitten hood. 

The house is blissfully upside down.

Cindy Lou is trying to kill this ivy.

Can you see the sleeping kitten? Just behind the green chair. 

She only appears innocent.

These are Shelley's pillows. He sleeps on down pillows for goodness sake. 

No, we do not spoil our fur babies.

This is a Creepy Freak. 

The floors and tables are covered with them. They are creepily cool. 

Until you step on one.

Here is the wee jumping bean. She can move across the room, by jumping, without touching the floor. Taking a photo of her and Shelley is proving to be difficult.

With your help, in the last post, Joe and I have decided to leave the Montbretia in the flower garden.

Thank You

Beautiful Weed

Montbretia

Montbretia (crocosmia) is a vigorous bulb like plant from South Africa. It is a perennial and a weed. Described as noxious in places. 

 I likely will never get it out of the flower garden. Our humming birds love it. You can see them drinking from these orange blossoms constantly.

The rate of growth is rather amazing. Last year it was about seven inches tall. Look at it now. I have it tied to a wrought iron pole.

Would you remove this weed or leave it? 

Move it to our side lot?

Italian Mirror

We hung our large  Italian mirror over the buffet. 

I am quite proud we got around to this task as we are covered up in Darling Mini Wee's and our Cindy Lou kitten.  Not two foot from this buffet the house is a bonified wreck but you will never see it.

The often seen funeral baskets have pride of place there in the center, Joe's mother's foot stool is on the left with a newly acquired bust from the Peach 23 sale. I obtained the vintage glove mold from that sale as well.

I wish all of you a lovely Sunday. 

We are taking the Wee's to church then having a birthday lunch for Joe.

In other good news CC has been accepted at the Korean University and we are in a flurry of activity obtaining insurance, a visa, and a plane ticket. 

She is thrilled.
