Yard Sale Treasures

 

Recently we were yard sale hunting.

We began the day as a drive

to a nearby community

to check a yard sale of a past co-worker.

Along the way, we stopped

at a yard sale at an old beautiful home.

Black rose is moving and was

on the lookout for deals on

certain things. 

 

 

 

She has always appreciated

Captain's chairs and found this one,

fell in love that it 'fit' and

then told me she didn't have

the cash on her.

Too funny,  no worries, all good.
And, it fit in the car along
with most of our other
treasures.

 

 

I, on the other hand saw

potential in something else nearby.

Although I did love the cabinet,

I spotted............

the bed.

 

I have always appreciated Black Rose's

cast iron bed.  Okay, honestly, I have

always been envious of she with her bed.

They are very different from one
another, yet I believe from the same
time-line. 

As many of you know,

I love things that have

been aged with time.

 

 

After contacting my wonderful cousin,

she has a van, to make arrangements

for pick up  my lovely bed

was delivered to me.

 

I see the dog got on the bed and

then some while I was gone to get the camera,

sorry folks.

But here is my 'new to me' bed.

I am not sandblasting and having it repainted.

I LOVE the ware and the missing paint.

 

Imagine this bed in the Spring

with my hand-made, handed down

quilt!! 

Black Rose returned to University

and upon her next visit,

we will work on her treasure find.

 

And, of course, I will later

share my other finds once I have

up-cycled them. 
 

Don't want to give away

any Christmas secrets now do we.
