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)

Wonderful! ah... i have a new dream now: not only moving back to ottawa but DV next summer going to a garage sale w. u!!! wouldn't that be fun?
so glad for your great finds! cant wait to DV see them!
Looks good! Great finds.
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.
