I Heave a Deep Sigh....

And go back to a month of no thrift/antique shopping.

But these are just a few of the things I found yesterday. A print of an old Dutch master's in an interesting frame. THGGM picked this up. When he buys pictures they get hung up more quickly than when I do.

Did anyone see the decorating show that used old velvet paintings for seat covers? I found that interesting. I didn't notice any old velvet paintings, but I did find an old tapestry-ish wall hanging which I shall someday cut up into something. Or, not.

It has two small tears, which could probably be repaired, except I like things dinged up a bit, so I will keep it 'as is' until I find something to cover with bits and pieces of it. The color is really good. I even got to name my own price, as the tag had fallen off.

I cannot resist odd baggies of old game pieces.

Oh, what am I saying?!

I can't resist anything old.

It was a great day to shop. I found SO much treasure. Even practical things like a white crib sheet and girly shoes for Famke.

And...let's see...white buttons, lace, a dish towel, some fleece, a piece of white canvas....

...there's more, now that I think about it. Must post more when I next have time.
