Last Sunday was such a crisp, beautiful day! My friend and I decided to take in an estate sale at this lovely old home built in the 1800's. It was the end of a three day sale so everything was fifty per cent off. I was more excited about getting the opportunity to go inside this house than any treasures I might find. The only thing I bought was an worn old apron with a gorgeous hand crocheted border at the bottom. The border is about four inches wide and the word LOVE is spelled out several times in the crocheting.
This Rose of Sharon had just a few summer blooms left. One of my favorite things was this gigantic hollow tree by the back door. I could only imagine how much fun my dogs would have racing through it.
Just for fun, I want to share this picture of a lovely couple I met yesterday at another sale.
If I were to give them names, I'd call them "Billy" (not very original, I know) and "Ruth Ann"!
Hi Sharon:
ReplyDeleteI bet you had fun. I wish we could grow Rose of Sharon here (I don't think we can). I think they're lovely. Hope you have a great week!

I wish we could have seen the inside of the house, it looks wonderful! Love the goats!
ReplyDeleteThe house looks wonderful. Loving the goats. Have a wonderful Monday.

How lovely that old house is! I love going to places like this. The apron crochet is so pretty! I like those names for that cute couple!
ReplyDeleteSharon, First off, I am thrilled for you little "shop" space. It is so nice to have a bit of real estate in a nice shop where you can arrange wonderful things in a lovely manner and make a little money as well. I always say that in "another life", I would be a shop-keeper living above my store,in an historic town, in an historic building on Main Street.
ReplyDeleteThe old fallen tree in the yard above would be a great horizontal space for a "garden in a log" I saw one this summer. Great house!
I love seeing all the fun things you find while out shopping. I wish I had as much luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon. I like your blog. I am very interested to look at it. Thanks so much. I really enjoyed it.
