Oh how fun!! I saw that EXACT quilt on ebay last week and I wanted to buy it to make a cushion cover but forgot, how funny they put it in the rummage sale!!
OK sorry, going comment crazy here.. you’re in Portland?! We just moved here. We’re up on Mt. Scott. I am jealous of your garden. It’s still too cold up on the mountain to start ours yet
Nicole – we’re in Parkrose – just off of NE 105th, north of Fremont. My tomatoes are taking a royal beating with this chilly weather – I am worried that a few of them aren’t going to make it. I always put my tomatoes out in mid-May, but the unseasonably cold weather is not making them happy at ALL.
It’s never too early for lettuce and chard and kale!!
Whoa, Nicole, what a coincidence! They were asking $15 at the rummage sale (ouch!), but since we came right at the end, and it was going to go to Goodwill if I didn’t buy it, they offered $3 – it’s in good shape – I was thinking of hanging it on a wall upstairs or something…
Cara – we haven’t been to the 7th Day Adventist store in a while – it’s on NE 111th and NE Halsey – my favorite store – next time I go, I’ll facebook you first and see if you’re free, okay? (I have room in my minivan for you and Mae, btw, if you need me to pick you up.)
That is sooo funny, seriously!!
We are LOVING portland..ok minus the cost of living killing us but oh my what a beautiful, beautiful place! I feel so fortunate to live here.
Do you know of any good thrift stores? We have one down the street but it is so overpriced I can’t justify shopping there, kwim?
i love old lady/grandma style. i think that’s my style too!
also, new friend, i LOVE thriftstore scoring. i’m up for a trip any time!

Anyways, enough rambling
So nice to see you.
I love the chair and sofa as it is! However reupholstered would be lovely too!
Great bargain shopping!
How perfect! And don’t worry…reupholstering furniture is not nearly as frightening as it sounds. I’ve done it, and if I can do it than anyone can!
