"If we would have just gotten here 10 minutes earlier, we could have gotten that chair!" This was the phrase of the day today for Mr. MTM and me. It seemed that every sale we pulled up to, someone was walking out with a great, cozy, reading nook ready chair.
C'est la vie, we took defeat gracefully and persevered.
I hit up a few sales on Saturday, nothing too extraordinary, like a delightful reading chair. But I did snag this lovely scarf. I was drawn to the M's all over it, again...all about my monogram. Upon further inspection it is made by Mikimoto (yes the designer of fabulous pearls), thought that was very interesting.
I can see this tied around a white purse for a bit of added flair, it also fits in well with the nautical theme for Spring/Summer 2010.
I also picked up some nice glazed pots for my attempt at gardening. Let's just say, I don't have the greenest of thumbs...but I have officially kept a poinsettia alive since Christmas. Miracles can happen.
One purchase I did make yesterday was quite random, and I'm not exactly sure what I will use them for. But the guy made me a good deal...and I just couldn't pass them by...
5 Tartan Worsted Wool Swatch Books...alphabetically ordered by clan!!! I was really excited about this one!
Back to the adventures of today. One of the sales we went to had an "art studio" in the back, as we were walking up we came across these old work boots just hanging out...
I just thought it was a sweet reminder of the man who used to walk this path everyday to get to his art studio.
So the studio was something amazing. Piles upon piles of music posters, lots of foam core boards, spray paints, styrofoam. Just a load of random artsy supplies. I was not all about digging through the random posters that ranged from Tony Bennett to Billie Holiday to Sade. But Mr. MTM just dug in.
And boy, am I glad he did. He found 2 of these lovely gems, the lady next to us squealed with excitement when Scott gave her the second copy. I just heart GWTW.
Turns out the man who used to inhabit this art studio worked for Sony Records for decades. He would put together their promotional materials for new releases. What an awesome job!
We picked up a lot of other items, but I'm happy to announce we have worked all afternoon on installing the reading nook shelves. Oh joy! I plan on posting the remainder of items purchased along with pictures of the shelves tomorrow. To quote Willy Wonka, "The suspense is terrible... I hope it'll last."
Total Spent by Madge (Thus far): $7.50
