Did you have a good weekend? We had a low key one around here but it was productive. On Saturday a friend and I went to that Blue Print sale I mentioned on Friday. We parked in front of a consignment shop and decided to take a twirl through on the way out. Look what I scored, I couldn’t believe my luck….it was on hold but I learned later in the day that the person decided to pass. My luck!
The duo is in excellent condition and will look even better when I’ve got it recovered in my own fabric. Do you see the striking resemblance to the chair and ottoman I’ve been coveting but hesitating on ordering because it is so costly….
I couldn’t believe my luck! Then we headed over to Nick Brock Antiques where our builder (and now friend) actually sells some pieces and I spotted these, which are hers. Sold in a pair. You may recall that I’ve got a little obsession at the moment. Need to show my husband….when he is in a good mood!
On Sunday we spent most of the day in the yard. My husband was working on one of the garden beds in the back yard and I was working on re-finishing the chairs and table for our front porch. I still have a light sand and one final coat of paint to go. But, much more fun than seeing a set of in process chairs…..Harry decided to make a pool out of a bucket. Silly boy! He must have spent an hour getting in and out of this bucket!
Throw in a date night and a trip to the pool and all in all it was a nice weekend. Did you do anything fun?
PS–Check back later today I am going to try to list some more fabric remnants. I am trying to get my office cleaned out and organized as I have some changes in the works for Maddie G later this summer…
