GARAGE SALE FIND

I have been wanting to show you some pictures I found at a garage sale many moons before I went to Samoa.

I didn't want to take them with me and since my home in Virginia and Texas were rentals I didn't want to poke holes in the walls.

During this time I often thought of these pictures and how much I loved them and if they would go with our home now.  I truly thought they wouldn't but to my happiness they do go well.

 The colors are more vibrant up close and personal.  Don't you just love the birds??

Then next one reminds me of Samoa.  I have it placed over my fireplace and just love it.

There are two smaller ones that go with these but they are not unpacked yet.  You will not believe the price I got these for.  Get ready to pass out.  I did not even dicker with them....and when I tell you the price you will know why.  I got all four picture for six dollars.  These are originals.  I do not know if the owner was the one who painted these, if so, he under sold himself.

Now for some more patterns, these are doll patterns.

 While my husband is slaving away in the soon to be sewing room.  He is sanding down the joints and ceiling.  Yes....you don't have to tell me that I need to be out there....how rude of me not to be....but I am working on these Beattitudes squares.  I am getting to sew.  He has not complained once....I am ashamed to say that if it was me...I would be grumpy that I was not getting help.....I did make him cookies.....hummmm

It was a dark and dreary morning and I didn't think he would go out and work in the room but later it lightened up and so...he is out there...poor guy.  He is certainly making a mess in my home...instead a one inch of dust I now have about three.  Am I complaining????  Not at all...but I really should be out there....NOT!!!!  Don't I have a good man...there are no loaners either!
