Midweek consignments and sidewalk garden progress

First, let me show you Pamela's progress on her folk art bench (our sidewalk garden). If you page back a couple of posts, you can see the distance she has covered and get a taste of the fun she is having.

The song bird turned into a parrot as the paint had its way.

On-site painters and tea drinkers...fun :^)

I think we had more tea drinkers here today than ever before. That was fun :^)
And it was extra fun to have Pamela sketching and painting at the far table, having scoured the room for items to make an interesting still life. Hope to show you the finished work someday. Meanwhile, here's my favorite of the paintings she's brought in so far:



Thinking of joining us for some tea and treasure hunting? While you are looking for your car keys or bus pass (although it might be hard to take home the treasures you find via bus), take a sec and enjoy a preview of some of our newer consignments at The Living Room:

Turquoise cat by Haeger. About 16" long and 10" tall. $30.

Fun walking stick, 37". $18

"Prehistoric" coffee percolator, shabby silver plate. Still works! If you are a coffee snob who wouldn't ever perk, use it for hot water. $75

Ze little French beaded handbag. Tag reads "Made in France", in English, of course :^) Much prettier than this photo, about 7" x 4". Old metal zipper. Beautiful beading. $24

And have I shown you these before?

Canonsburg china w/22kt gold trim. 12 place settings, less a few pieces. Lovely set! $195 if you pack it!

This teapot is part of the Canonsburg set. I can't believe it's included in the one price. What am I thinking.

   

Stayin' up late to slash prices. Need to make room this weekend!

This Saturday would be a good day to visit The Living Room! New consignment on the way, so come help us make room.
