ViNtAgE SuRpRiSeS

my day Friday was scheduled with busy-ness.

my to-do list was long and so heading to the grocery store

~when between my casa and the grocer i saw an

enticing sign that read:

 

 

VINTAGE SALE

 

 

i thought briefly about just driving on by.

 

wellllllll......... then it hit me that yard sale season

is as good as over in cold old minnesota

and i could not resist.

 

so glad I didn't. in a little living room on a quiet little

street a woman named judy was having a sale.

everything was clearly marked and clean and

VINTAGE!

  here's what i

came home with.

 

 

10 bucks folks. (thought it was going to the cabin- love it so much i

may keep it here so i can enjoy it everyday.)

 

 

this big red H.  HOME to me. $4 

 

 

 

really old copper boiler. will be used for kindling by our stove up north. $25 

 

 

frame for the lodge- $4

 

 

 

and last but not least, this pretty little chandelier. i will hang it above the

bed at the lodge. it's going to make the bedroom "chic-cabinesk" don't you think?

a great steal at $18!

 

 

i will miss yard sales and the thrill of scouting for

the rare, the cheap, the unique loot that

someone else is ready to part with.

 

it is only 21 degrees here tonight.

brrrrrrrrrrr~

 until next spring i will just

have to be content with

an occasional stop at a thrift shop right?

 

i had a most wonderful weekend with 7 other

girls and will be back later in the week to

tell you a little bit about our fun.

i always have a sore throat after those weekends,

a combination of

 excessive talking,

 lack of sleep and my

horrible snoring.

 

hope your week is great!

 

*remembering all our past and present military

personnel with so much gratitude today.

we live in the most blessed county in the

world and we have them to thank for that!
