The Great Glebe Garage Sale

I found:
  • 1 carved wooden lampstand, maple finish
  • 1 soddered iron lampstand (evokes art deco, '80's junk art, and african native art)
  • 1 small round stuffed rattan footstool (perfect perch for a little person)
  • 1 very large carved wooden frame painted a very pre-raphaelite green (perfect for my battered map of Narnia!)
  • 1 hard cover Reader's Digest "Complete Do-It-Yourself Manual" (It's so DIY!)
  • 1 solid (hard) wood fruit bowl (dark as chocolate. beautiful.)
  • 1 vintage eaton's cardboard box full of embroidery thread and a small carved bone tool for who knows what!
  • 6 panels of coarse weave brown curtains for our living room!
  • 8 prints of "The Vanishing Buildings of Rural Canada" (including a beautiful one of some grain elevators in a very prairie landscape which was a special surpise for Matthew)
I am quite pleased.

Thanks! That's what happens when a whole neighbourhood turns out their garages all on the same day.

It was sheer heaven. And a lot like Koninginnedag in Amsterdam.
