The thrill of the hunt

by chuckofish

Over the weekend daughter #1 bought a chair for $15 at an estate sale (second day, half off).

She got some nice old man to help her get it into her car and then managed, once home, to get it into her house by herself. I couldn’t have been prouder of her.

The weekend before daughter #2 persuaded her husband to make estate-sale-ing a family affair by going all together to the town down the road for a sale. DN bought a crowbar for $1 and she may live to regret his being hooked, but c’est la vie. Those prairie girls are learning early how to behave at a sale and how to have an eagle eye for that one thing you really can’t live without…and then tell Mamu all about it on the pretend phone!

Anyway, IYKYK how much fun hunting for treasures is.

This is a fun article by designer Emily Clark about replacing/upgrading chairs over the years in her house. (I love those last chairs–what a find!)

Choose joy!
