Tart and Fruity

As previously stated Patty's fruit tarts are therapeutically delicious.
"A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch."

Flea Season

Well...Flea Market Season

It's that time of year we all like to go to yard sales and flea markets because, Yes It's True, one person's trash is another's treasure (we are feminists after all). This Blog is to show you some things that we've found yard sale-ing, flea market-ing, thrift store-ing, and any other ing that may apply. We've  learned to look beyond the surface. Paintings may be damaged, upholstery may be dirty, and furniture the wrong color, it's nothing a little paint and imagination can't fix. As luck would have it, the two of us ooze imagination, which isn't painful at all. The following presentation (with a nod to Darren Stevens, oops, Don Draper) shows what we have found and how it lives with us. Nothing needs to be as it seems...look at us. No, really, look at us, we look good.

A little damage doesn't diminish a beautiful painting.

My favorite yard sale find, tucked in a corner.
(Just added a frame)

Salvation who?

Found this years ago.

Rolled and ripped canvas ... $21.00
End result ... Priceless.

My beautiful Herman Miller. Score.

People let go of the cutest things.

This used to be the ugliest, nastiest piece of crap you could find.
I love it Yellow. (when you don't have a hall closet)

Don't write off these old school chairs... They are unbelievably comfortable.

Spaghetti lamp... yea!

Vintage plexi shade, current fixture.
One variation on a theme.

And another

Sea Legs
Found these crew oars, put them to good use.

The weight is over

One bottle, who cares... many bottles, wicked cool.
