It has been a long time since I rescued a stitchery from thrift. This one highlighting teapots is simply exquisite, priced at $5. Framed and matted by a studio in Idaho. I just LOVE the gray framing. It joined the most favored collection in my room. Kudos to the quality cross-stitch work of this artist.💗 State of Grace floribunda rose photobombs in the background.
As predicted, I found the drapery rod (still in the box!) with its hardware at hospice thrift. The lined-drapes cost more to clean ($60) that the total cost of purchase $15.98 for 2 drapery panels and $12.00 for the rod, less than $30. I have a large picture window to cover, we will see if I have the same success in finding drapes and curtain rods. I have been shopping in the upscale areas of El Dorado County and Folsom, California.
I always check the art area of the secondhand shops. I will make room for original art. I have moved more to collector rather than creator.
My thrift shop hunt now includes baby books and toys. Mila, the baby, was intrigued with the Tigger piano. Added to my Grandma Tami musical repetoire are: baby castanet, maraca, and tambourine.
