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.
All those items look lovely in your home and I'm glad you found a home for the tray. Sometimes it's hard to part with things from our loved ones. Have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this list of faves. Those rugs!! That table!!! Those headboards!!
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I thought the school you teach in was in Boston proper not around the corner from Gordon College! I just love Wenham, Rockport, Beverly, Manchester by the Sea, Gloucester, Dover (NH), Portsmouth and Durham NH (where our youngest went to UNH..the oldest girl went to Gordon). Man If we could afford to live in Wenham though that's where I'd wanna be. Of course we love boston too especially Charlestown. MAN you live in a gorgeous area. I like my area but there's just something about Boston and the north shore. :) (and NH).
What a serendipitous list of faves! I love those headboards. That's so neat about the table, and then the tray finding a good home.
ReplyDeleteI love your sale finds. The rugs are lovely and match your home so well. And that table-- it's perfect!
ReplyDeleteYour walk to work is a blessing, too. All the peace and beauty!
Oh my you scored some nice stuff for your home! And how nice to know that your Mom's tray went to someone who would love it. I'm like that with some of Mom's stuff. Don't want it but don't have the heart to let go yet. Those flowers are still so colorful.
