Shopping

we went on a shopping trip for the shop. We went to a house by the river, a beautiful spot, the house was an old log house. Very quaint and historical looking, made with all logs, there were even a few cracks in the chink where you could see outside. Reminds me of the house I was born in on our homestead, you could put your hand through to the outside.

The lady that lived there is 100 years old and had to go to a nursing home so the family was clearing out the house. When you walk in the front door there was a big room with a huge wood stove in the corner a stairway in another corner, the kitchen was in another. Then if you look up there was the bedroom, a loft. The stairs were almost straight up and hard for me to navigate because of my vision. I wonder how this little old lady ever did this? Anyway there were some real antiques here and I wasted time looking through the glass stuff until they told me it was not for sale.

We went up stairs and there was an old but quality bedroom set and a trunk. The trunk said $50.00 so I said I want this, ( would have sold for $300.00) Bruce left to haggle with the lady and I guess he talked to the wrong lady. Another woman came looked at the trunk and I was just sitting on it to preserve it for me. This woman left and bought it out from under me from the real person to talk to. I lost the trunk but we did get the bedroom set for $500.00.

I have pictures of some of the things not the bed yet. The hat, I just wanted to hang it in the shop.

The house was so nostalgic, I could just picture what it would look like in the winter snow,hummmm.
