Waiting...

-


For these to be priced.


Someone dropped these off at a thrift store just before I got there.  When I brought them to the counter to buy them, I was told I'd have to wait until they were priced.  That was last Thursday.


I'm still waiting... 

What do you think of them?
How much do you think they will be?
I hope I can afford them. I love them both, but if I had to choose only one I'd choose the first one. Which one would you choose? The second one is reverse painted on glass.



New treasure just listed at
IL TUO TESORO.

Oh so very frustrating Terri, but I think well worth the wait. I love the first gent too & although I don't compare, even remotely, to your thrifting/antiquing skills, I'd think he might bring in $125. to $175.00 I hope you get one or both, they are beautiful. Best of luck and let us know the outcome!! Hope your son is home and happy? I'm already driving Miss Em nuts. Wouldn't it be wonderful for them to meet some day..heee..hee..

Love you and tell your mother I said hello! xxoo

How large are they, T? I really like the 2nd one, and it's very unusual for it to be on glass, isn't it? I'm certain they will be a good price if at a thrift store. If they were in the city in a nice shop, maybe $500+

Oh my hard decision. I agree if only one, the first one. I have no idea how much they would be worth, but knowing you, I bet you will get a deal!! Afterall you are the queen of treasure hunting, xo Kathysue

I really like them both. If I had to choose just one, it would definitely be the first one. However, I think the second is very unique and might be the prize. How large are they? Are they signed at all? I swear I have never met anyone who can treasure hunt like you!!!
I just caught up on the previous post. Chris is a doll and his friend is lovely. I bet you all had a wonderful time together.

I can see the first one going more with your home but I really love the subject matter of the second...especially the little dog following along. I'd choose the second one.

I adore these treasures that you find. I too like the second one, it is so unique!

I featured your site at stylesson.com today.

Wow. I think they are both great---though the first one looks exactly like Kurt from Glee to me. Does anyone else see this>? I do think they both would work differently in your home...the first is more "quiet" the second tells more of a story...

I hate that... the waiting. I love both of these, but if I had to pick only one would probably choose the first one too. I know nothing of value, but have seen this style before and think it very charming. Can not even imagine how difficult it would be to paint in reverse!
Good luck and let us know what happens!

I'm sure the wait is because they are doing the same thing you are - checking out what the paintings are worth. Wouldn't it be nice if they said $5!! I once brought an old 4 poster bed to a Goodwill (after a yard sale where it would not sell at $75) and while I was there they priced it at $50, I told the girl it was mahogany (but not in good shape), she immediately priced it at $199! It was gone in a day. Good luck! Donna W.

What a find Terri. They really do compliment one another. The last one is so unusual and wonderful. How often do you see a painting of a father and son walking hand in hand. Awesome.

EUREKA!!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
