So I did a "Thing" ~

About 6 weeks ago I came across a wonderful stepback cupboard with the old way glass in the doors.  I told myself I could not buy it because I already have a stepback cupboard in the dining room that had solid doors and I could not be a cupboard over my limit.

My current stepback.  I can't remember when I bought it, but I have had it for 2+ decades.  I was ready for a change.  I always use it with the doors open showing off part of my featheredge collection.

And here she is with the doors closed.

I was hoping the dealer would take my cupboard in a barter deal, but she was not interested, so I again told myself  that I could not buy it.

I need to start listening to myself.  I bought the cupboard 😛.  The dealer took my dough box that has been sitting in the basement far too long as part of the deal.  It was a really cool dough box of Canadian origin.  It is about twice the size as the American counterpart.  In my previous house I used it in the kitchen as a decorative island and it has also been used as a sofa table.  I just don't have a place for it.


We picked up the cupboard today.  DSO had help loading it on the trailer.  Getting it off and in to my garage was not an easy task.  I am a ten pound weakling.  But . . . it is in the garage.  Now to get the old stepback out of the dining room and this one in.  DSO has a plan that he thinks will work.  Not sure when we will get to it but think good thoughts.

Here she was sitting in the shop.  It will be a nice change.


Twenty five of my thirty bags of mulch have been spread.  Sadly I will probably need fifteen more bags, but will wait until they go on sale again.  Current price is double the sale price 😡.  My body is rebelling!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

HOW???

Can it possibly be the last week of August?  Time is passing so quickly it is scary 😁

The antique sale went well.  I was happy with the final tally.  Customers were pretty sparse but most of them bought.  I sold about half the total $$ in presale.  Still lots of stuff to pack away.  The two big items I REALLY wanted to sell did not go.  I bought this double school desk over 35 years ago thinking I could find a spot for it, but never did.

This dough box is poplar, Canadian origin, and HUGE compared to its American counterparts.  In my previous home it was used as a decorative kitchen island and in this house behind the sofa.  

I really need to get them listed on Marketplace.  I just want them out of here!!!

Now I need to get ready for the two hook ins this September and consignment items for a rug camp (I am not attending).  Plus a hooking class with Kris Miller and another with Maria Barton.  I really am my own worst enemy!

I will post more Sauder rugs in my next post!
Thanks so much for stopping by.
