Hi Everyone, I hope you had a nice long weekend celebrating whatever it is you celebrate. I am happy to announce that I was able to finish receipt hunting, and my taxes are in the mail.
Last week I headed over the Tappan Zee Bridge to Connecticut. I was on a Craigslist mission that had great promise. You know I'm a CL addict, and I like to think that I prequalify potential purchases long before I set out on an hour drive. Well, I was lied to.....many of you may be thinking "that's exactly why I don't do Craigslist". If my average wasn't so good, I might be inclined to quit hunting.
I wanted a 38" round table, and the one listed did not have measurements. I called the owner and he said it was 36"....at $60, it was close enough. When I arrived and measured the table it was 32"....so I walked.
Luckily, Sandy was familiar with Connecticut and pointed me in the direction of some fun shopping. I ended up at Hidden Galleries in Stamford, Ct. I spent over an hour walking around and looking at all of the beautiful vignettes. The prices were not as outrageous as you might expect. In fact, some of it was reasonably priced.
And this is when it is time to go home...
I'm actually happy that the CL table didn't work out. I had a great time exploring a new place. I didn't purchase any of these items, but I did buy another rug from the Turkish Rug Seller I told you about.
Have you stumbled upon any hidden treasures lately?
