Junkin' Again

On Saturday Shelly and I went junkin'.  Again.  This was an estate sale with a packed house.  We stood in line early and then when the doors opened we were right there.  It was slow going through the house and even slower checking out.  There were many shoppers.
Good thing we took our assertive pills prior to the sale...
 I left Shelly in the driveway with our pile of loot.  I ran back into the house to  pack up a set of dishes. HAH!  You thought I was going to say that I bought a set of dishes.  No, not this time, it was Shelly.  My big purchase was the green chair, which I had to pack out of the basement.  I then jogged back to the car and drove back to where Shelly was saving me some rock star parking. 
 After all of our hard work we needed a break so we stopped at Lettered Street Coffee for some caffeine and a treat or two.  We enjoyed a nice visit with Sam's girl, Angela and then headed back to Lynden.
 I unloaded and then vacuumed, polished and scrubbed the chair.  Honestly, I didn't know where it was going but I loved the shape.  For the time being she is in the living room with a throw to soften the green.
 The green picks up on the green in the curtains and the green in our Evergreen Playground map.  If I decide I want to change it I can always get it recovered with some painter's drop cloth.  Or sell it to Shelly or to the woman that wanted to buy it from me in the driveway.
A small box of shiney brites and a candy cane blow mold were it for Christmas items.  I found a few other small items too.  A very successful, sunny Saturday for me.
Meanwhile...
I am still painting and I am still complaining about it.  And I am still not finished.
No end in sight...

If that was the estate sale held this weekend in the lettered streets I am truly jealous! I thought about going but decided to skip since my husband didn't want to wait around... darn, those Christmas ornaments could have been mine!

Add me to the list of back-up offers on your chair...

I've been hoping to find something just like it! ;)

love the chair! If you get tired of the green you can also Annie Sloan it! :) Glad you had fun - you got some great things - sorry I had to miss it! Auction was worth it, though! :) Chris
