Booty Call!

Just a quick post today - so much going on with end of year stuff at school. Today is our last field day - my youngest starts Middle school next year. (Another one of those happy/sad times! )

Anyway, I wanted to share with you some photos of some really cute stuff I got from the sweetest elderly lady this week. She was selling some of her things in a parking lot. Her husband's health is declining and she wanted to sell some of her things so as not to burden their daughter with it.

This lady has an amazing eye and can refinish wood furniture, reupholster chairs, and make custom lamp shades. She gave me a great deal on this stuff and said her "really good" stuff is at her house. She is taking me over there tonight... can't wait.

Anyway, I felt an instant connection with her. Have you ever just met someone and felt like you were speaking the same language and there is that easy give and take in the conversation? That's how it was with "Reba". When I went to write her check I said "Reba, like the singer?" Her reply was "Yes, baby, just like her only with out the talent, fame and fortune".

Well, maybe not the fame and fortune but my Reba definitely some talent!

If you have not signed up for my giveaway, don't forget to do so. You must be a follower and leave a comment. Drawing is May 14 for a $40 gift certificate from CSN Stores. Get more details here.

I got this cute bench for $5.  A little paint and some fun fabric and we've got some portable seating that tucks in just about anywhere!

This mirror is really sweet.  It was tough to capture an image of it that shows off the decorative detail that is inlaid into the mirror.  This detail is on the sides of the mirror. 

I'm crazy for this sweet lamp.  Sits on a metal base and I'm loving yellow as an accent color these days!

How about this amazing gateleg table?  The spool detail at the bottom is so fun!

Slide the legs out for another table top surface.  This piece is so perfect for entertaining!

This is my absolute favorite.  I am going to use these hot  marble top tables instead of my (predictable) coffee table.

Hope you have a lovely weekend! I will try and get some photos from Reba's house to share with you.  She showed me a photo of a gilded French settee she has at her place ..
