Major Score!

-

Lucky me, I happened to pull over Saturday morning when I noticed an interesting looking garage sale.


Just as I walked into the yard 2 people were carrying out this gorgeous burl wood coffee table.


I asked, "is that sold?"


And was told, "no, we were just bringing it out."


With my heart beating wildly, I said that I loved it and how much were they asking?


We went back and forth for a bit, neither one of us wanting to throw out a number.


Finally, he threw out a number.


$30!!!


I'm thrilled with this beauty, and thinking of replacing the current coffee table in my living room with it.

Did you score anything good over the weekend?

Terri, isn't it the greatest thing when you find something like that! You really did score...that's a gorgeous table. I did score some things over the last few weekends....mostly to sell on eBay but also a few things for myself. Last Friday it was a Deruta canister in great condition for $4.00 and the weekend before that a Tory Burch wristlet for $3.00.

Hello La Dolfina - my preferences are French rather than Beach BoHo. And did I score some beauties this last week. Found a lovely little hand-carved (exquisite details on arms and back), French Walnut chair at, of all places, Salvation Army! It has hand-stitched tapestry upholstery attached with French Nails. Just $30!

On the same day, because I was in the area, found a set of cut crystal, water goblets with intricate jewels on the stems - $9 for a total of 6. Those were high up on a dusty shelf at my local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Did not find the hand made tile I was looking for, but crystal goblets were well worth the trip.

Our mutual friend, Elizabeth La Vintage Contessa, would APPROVE in all caps!

Hope to see you at Andrea's French Food Camp on Sept. 17th. Can't wait to see what changes Andrea has made to The House overlooking the Pacific!

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!
