Shop 'til You Drop

We spent the day at auction today but this time it was a little different. Today we were buying specifically for our new space at FOUND. It was thrilling! We mentioned our new venture to anyone within spitting distance of us and may have even recruited a new dealer or two in the process. There is such good energy and enthusiasm about the shop and the dealers we speak to seem genuinely excited about the possibility of a new place to sell their treasures.

Today Ken and I came home with a neat old jelly cupboard with original paint
(and original dust),
a lovely solid oak Mission style dining tableand a host of other goodies including linens, photographs and prints.

Favorites of the day include a milk glass hanging lamp with a clam shell shade,
a pair of wonderful old fireplace andirons (now we just have to find a mantle!),
and a vintage cake carrier.I want to to keep this...rats.

I was totally bummed to be outbid on this sign.

When it was all said and done BOTH carswere packed to the brim inside and out.

It will be wonderful to finally move into our space...because soon the garage will bust.

Despite my utter neglect, the garden continues to produceand what a welcome sight it is at the end of a long day.Ahhhh, home.
