Just when I said, "We have no more room!..."



... we are blessed with the opportunity to help with an estate sale and to help a neighbor who must suddenly move for an out-of-state job.

So, we're filled to the gills! Come before lunch, so you can squeeze through what remains of our aisles.

Some of our prices are negotiable, some are not, so please ask. Come enjoy browsing through the really lovely items that have just come in:
Mahogany highboys








 
 dresser,

 


 end tables,



 a sweet, ivory brocade sofa,


vibrant sunset-colored striped swivel arm chair with ottoman.




Stitched Christmas trees. Corner curio shelf, antique oak workstand, bed tables and twin sleigh beds with very good mattresses...

Added to our usual--the unusual--at The Living Room today :^)

Beauty, hard-slogging, and merciful touches of joy



Just to have something pretty on the blog, here is the prancing reindeer that Margo brought in! I'm debating whether to sell him in the store or try him on ebay. Despite my camera's tricks, he is a silvery color, not gold. Made of steel welded by a Bellingham artist whose name is not known to me. Does anyone recognize the artist?

What is steel called when it's not stainless steel? This is not a set up for a joke; I need to describe the reindeer as made of steel, without resorting to "steel-not stainless" :^)

Do you sometimes feel giddy after finishing an exhausting job? Just installed new consignment software, entered what feels like years of backlogged data, paid our consignors, and got all our accounts up to date. Gotta crash (not the software, me!!) but want to stay awake just long enough to enjoy the small swells of joy and hope that come as a gift after a hard slog.

See you soon in the fresh new month, December 2009! We've never been here before :^)
