My parents live close to a MCC, so while my sweetie & dad loaded the desk - I zipped over to the MCC for a quick look around
I spotted this fun little area (notice all the milk vases on the floor in a box - turns out 4 of them were donated there by my mom - I was wondering where those went!)
I also really liked these green depression glass vases
E came with me to the MCC and was so patient while I fiddled around with which vases to purchase till he told me this...
"mom I would just buy all the ones you think you might like because you know this is all for a good cause and if you find you don't need them all then just donate them back, they would like that"
wise words that boy has... so I bought 6 milk vases, 3 depression glass vases, and 1 depression glass candle holder dish thingy... for a grand total of $7.75
With the desk loaded up, thrift shopping complete, & supper in our bellies... we headed home
It has been so gloomy weather wise so waiting for a sunny day to take pics hasn't happened... so the grainy phone pics will have to do.... for now
I moved the preston chair into my office from the living room, added the milk vases to the side table and since my desk was a mess this morning - here is a corner of it!
Area carpet shopping on saturday proved disheartening - everyone has the same boring square carpets. One place (the new one I had mentioned last week) suggested I have one made and the price was better than I thought on that - so likely I will go that route - I will keep you posted
My dad also cut a long length of annex board for a topper on my hemmes cabinets - it had a bit of a "wow" in the board so hence all the magazines stacked in that section - K also hung a mirror I had in storage for almost a year, it was nice to see it on the wall finally.... this area is not completely finished but it is starting to come together...
You can see the lady sitting plucking chickens (or maybe they are turkeys)... my grandma had a large print of this chicken plucking picture when I was a child and I wish I had kept it (how was I to know I would miss it).... so when I was drawn to this picture years ago and was shocked & excited when I discovered the chicken lady picture in the picture... I did not hum&hah about that purchase one bit
The structure of the picture is beautiful and such a great addition to the office
As for the green depression vases they are hanging out with my depression glass grape bowl from my mom in the kitchen... I will try to include a pic of those in my next post
Happy Tuesday!
