New Flea Purchase & Update On Dad

 

 

Hi everyone.

 

  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

 

You may remember this  POST where I showed you my new alabaster grapes in

the photo below..

 

 

 

Well,  I found more of these grapes at the Fancy Flea a couple of weekends ago.  These are

about twice the size of the ones above and I can't wait to add them to this vignette.

 

 

 

.There is something about these that make my heart race.

 

*************

 

I also want to thank all of you that have asked how my dad is doing after his stroke

and how I am holding up.  I truly appreciate your kind notes and concern about

 his health.  Dad is doing a little better since getting on the correct medication and

changing doctors. I am still living with him in Florida and I really don't see that changing. 

 

Steve visits as often as he can and he will be flying here tomorrow for a two week stay. 

He is such a big help with dad and I don't know how I could do this without him.

Thanks Hon!

 

The situation is not ideal but it's the best we can do until our home in Virginia sells.

The time I spend with dad is precious and I wouldn't trade it for anything!

.

I truly appreciate your support and friendship.  Please forgive me if my posting is

sporadic and that I am unable to respond to every email and comment.  My

intentions are good but life is beyond crazy right now.

 

Hope to see you at the Open House party starting Wednesday afternoon.

 

xoxo,

Sherry

At Long Last

A couple of weeks ago my junkin buddy Lynn from  The Vintage Nest  and I hit a number of antique and junk stores.  Lynn found some cute things for her antique booth and her on-line shop but I was coming up empty handed.  At the end of the day I had not purchased a single thing! 

On the way home we made one final stop at Goodwill.  I walked around and didn't see a thing I wanted.  I started to the front of the store and a lady had the aisle blocked with her cart.  I cut through the small appliance section and that is when I found my treasure. Tucked between two toasters were these fabulous vintage alabaster grapes.  You could have heard me squealing a mile away.  I think I scared Lynn when I went running through the store almost screaming her name!  

I have wanted some of these for the longest time but the price kept me from buying.  I bid on a smaller cluster of grapes recently at an on-line auction but they ended up selling for $90.00 to a dealer.

These are the gigantic alabaster grapes with the smallest ones about the size of a golf ball and the larger ones are the size of a tennis ball.  The funny thing is my dad has a set exactly like these and I am always admiring his when I visit.  I even tried to talk him into selling them to me and he just kept changing the subject.

I love my new cluster of grapes ( even if my husband doesn't get the appeal )  and I love the $7.00 price tag.

Thank you Goodwill!
