My husband was the shopper last week. He gave $25 for this never before used area rug.

See you here next month. Thanks for visiting.

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.



Rainy Day Outing

The Emerson quote is wise but difficult to do (for me, anyway).

I'll always have a soft spot for any child's rocker.

I checked my booth space and made an unexpected purchase from another vendor. The rug had brown, cream, and green colors that I so like...plus a 40% off sticker. Even with the rain today stretches of snow remain. I'm not fond of wet, cold days...but am trying to appreciate them, too.
