At Last

For a long time I have sought a rug for our den. In December I saw one and loved its colors immediately. For six months that rug has been on my mind. I tried to picture it in my home. Would it even look right? Well, when that floor covering was still at Charlene's last Saturday, I took the plunge. Although I paid for it that day, it was too rainy to bring home. So after making a return trip on this sunny day, the rug came home at last. 

 

The photos don't do it justice.

Sometimes it's impossible to explain why something grabs you. You just know when it does. This particular rug had that effect on me.

 

  

Thanks for coming by.



Searching and Finding

I can be happily satisfied by the smallest accomplishments.

Case in point: My friend Mary had this wooden thing(candle base, pedestal, or whatever it was) that she planned to add to the booth. But I desired it for its wooden shape and  green color and scooped it up for her asking price. Since then I have been trying to decide what to display on top. Well, at Charlene's...a shopper's paradise...there was a bowl of decorative billiard balls.  

Also at this fabulous store was this wire hanger. I am experimenting to see what I want to display on it.

My final find of the day was at a place I had never stopped at before. Very different from Charlene's... picture a lot of clutter and messy. But one dollar I gladly paid for this decorative green ball.

   The thrill of the hunt keeps me happy. Don't you feel the same?         

A Lovely Place To Shop

Located in Halls, TN

Lots of objects with birds or roosters



These two pieces were lovely together.



Thin pale gold sheets of foil accented these bird prints sandwiched between glass.
They really were striking.
