This will come in handy as there are no light fixtures in either bedroom. Right now I just have 2 small lamps. This one might look good in the hallway on a table.
Auntie has been house cleaning too since I moved out. Today when I stopped in she had this bag for me. In it was an old quilt found in the bottom of a cedar chest. She thinks my grandmother made it many years ago.
It's in perfect shape, just smells of cedar. This weekend I'll wash it in a gentle cycle and it should be great. I love old quilts and this one is extra special.
Still struggling to get back into a work week routine. Today was a little easier. Just 3 more days to the weekend. Lol
What a treasure in finding that beautiful quilt! Your friend is a keeper! Looks like everyone's taking good care of you and your new home! Hang in there....hump day tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI love the lamp and it will be great this winter to light up your hallway.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is lovely - what a treasure. You might just try fluffing the quilt on the gentle cycle in the dryer with some scented softener sheets or you could lightly spray it with febreeze etc.
Such a sweet lamp. Already imaging you curled up on the couch this winter under your granny's quilt watching a favorite movie!
ReplyDeleteSounds like good bargins from your friend and a lovely family treasure! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteOh I do love a good bargain! What a wonderful gift from Auntie!

Your friend sure found a nice lamp. I love it, and I'm glad that your auntie gave you that special quilt. You house is slowly becoming a home. I bet your friend is keeping an eye out for more bargains for your home. It's fun seeing how things are coming together. I'm already thinking of the Christmas tree decorating party with friends.

I have SUCH an admiration for bargain shoppers! I'm horrible at going through shops like that to find good items. I just completely freeze up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove old quilts!! We have a lot of quilters in the family and my mom's BFF is one, too!! My mom has a nice collection -- looks like you have a nice one and even more meaningful when it is passed down from family!!
