To the Rescue!

Ahhh, the merry month of May! This month seems to put a spring in our steps and beckon us outdoors…the days feel easy-breezy! If you stopped by the farmhouse today, you’d find the windows open and see the old tobacco cloth curtains gently swaying back and forth.

    I bought a lot of ‘things’ in my younger days at garage sales, junk stores, etc., and still enjoy them in my ‘old age’…and they will last longer than me for sure !

      Sounds as if you like to “rescue “ too, Donna! You’ll have to tell me what kinds of treasures you’ve discovered – isn’t it great how some things can be found for a song or for free and they just make us smile?!

    Great finds. Especially the sewing machine. I had a white in a cabinet similar with the knee lever too. Unfortunately I had to downsize when we moved and had to pass it on.
    I was wondering if missed something, did you post an after photo of the very first chair? I don’t see one of the chair with the criss cross back and seat.

    • Mary Murray says:

      I definitely need to find an instruction manual for the sewing machine – so cool to know that you had one as well! And no, I didn’t post the crisscross back chair because I was more in love with the metal one ;). I’ll add a picture next post!

    So relaxing to read this early AM for me. I’m having a yard sale with no customers so you brought hope to me. I love freebies but I just enjoy the beauty of like.

  6. Mary Murray says:

    Good morning Opal – sending you the best wishes that customers will flock to your sale! I’m sure you have goodies that will be just what someone is looking for – good luck, and thank you so much for stopping by to say Hi this morning.
