Autumn in New England






I am so grateful for our beautiful autumn weather. 



Even the oaks in the wood are full of beautiful colour!



One of our local churches had their semi-annual rummage sale over the weekend.

I picked up these two beautiful rugs for a song.

Don't mind the messes in the back round. I was cleaning as I put them down.

I put one in my bedroom and one under my kitchen table.

There was another treasure sale at the Jeremiah Lee mansion which is just around the corner from my me.

I picked up these beautiful hand painted twin head and foot boards. They didn't have 

the bed rails but I only paid $25.00 for both so I just figured out how to set them up using the bed frame

I already have.



It may be that I actually have two headboards since they are exactly the same size but I am happy.

They are so pretty and unique.

Well...I also saw a beautiful little antique-y table at the treasure sale. It didn't have a price on it and it was 

not something I needed or even had a place for so I passed it by. 

Later in the afternoon I happened to notice a facebook post on my town page saying

that all the leftover items were free. I thought I would just take a quick drive by...

I was looking through some pictures but nothing interested me until I noticed that all of 

the pictures were on top of the table that I wanted! 

It was meant to be! 



As I was trying to get it into my car a woman was parked next to me and offered to help. She noticed a 

tray in my car and admired it. I have been driving around with it in my car for about a year now.

It was my mother's and my sister had taken it when our mother passed away but didn't have a place

to put it so she gave it to me. I don't have a place to put it either and neither of my daughters

wanted it. I just didn't have the heart to donate it so it's been in my car. I gave it to the woman and she

was so happy to have it. I'm so grateful that it found a happy home and that I ended up with the table that I

wanted as well. 

I set it up as my desk with one of the leaves open. 



I walked along a conservatory trail on my way to work one morning this week.

It was so pretty along the shore and the wildflowers were absolutely beautiful.
