A couple of really great finds from my spring hunting at garage sales. This wonderfully shabby green wicker chair was a steal at 7.00!! It is big and comfy and I love it but haven't got a spot for it so I'm giving it to a friend for a display piece in her commercial greenhouse.<br />

80's? Dusty rose settee, too cute, it's been in my house all summer, but now has gone over to the Red Barn for our upcoming sale at the end of the month. A bargain again at 25.00...........oh, those spring garage sales were good! Not much all summer, not in my end of town anyway!<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Have a great day! </div><br />

I'm going to try and get some pictures taken and show you bit by bit over the next week or so some of the treasures I gathered .<br />
I had to start off with these sweet bone china floral bouquets, which were NOT from those two sales, but I wanted to show you that I now have a "collection" of them. The little vintage picture in frame was from one of the last two sales.<br />

We took her home from the hospital after a few days, and stayed to make sure she was alright. She lives in a small town, and 20 miles away we visited some other relatives out on the farm.<br />
We love going there, I always take alot of pictures, more of the animals than people I'm afraid! I won't bore you with them, just give you a small taste of where we were.<br />

A one and only find this last week, no sales for me on Saturday, I went to do the farmers market, but I managed to pick this up on Friday (for a song!!) on my way back from grocery shopping.

I will <em>definitely </em>plant these low bushy zinnias again next year. They have really been looking good. You can see some yellow ones in one of the pictures above this one. They are <em>great</em>!<br />
<br />
SORRY, if I haven't been visiting, I <em>really</em> miss dropping by to your blogs and seeing what you've all been up to. I will catch up one of these days, meanwhile, I'll at least try to keep on posting!</div>Lucy - By the Hillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03559254621868335005noreply@blogger.com6
