A SATURDAY MIX

Beautiful Daughter and kids brought me this ADORABLE pink plate and French Chocolate candy bar and I just love, love, LOVE 'em!! The plate and candy bar, too!!! :) lol

"Forget love......I'd rather fall into chocolate !"



Sweet Hubby and I went to a garage sale and found this beautiful, French Blue and cream HUGH area rug. It is a 12 x 14, in EXCELLENT condition and was only $25.00. I was jumping on one foot and then the other because I KNEW how great this would look in my Country French dining room..... Oh, and that blue and white bench is one of two that Sweet Hubby made for either side of our large dining table.


We went to a store here called THE RUG DEPOT and found the exact rug. In that large size, it was $600.00. I nearly passed out, right there in the store.

With all the blue I already had in my dining room, this baby fit right in.
The lady that sold it to us was redecorating and didn't want to use blues any longer. How lucky for ME !!

Hope your Saturday is fabulous ~

I love the plate and the chocolate! But I REALLY love the bargain you got on that rug. It's perfect for your room. I hope I find something similar during garage sale season here this year. I really do need to add a couple of area rugs and would love to have that kind of bargain. Can we see the rest of your dining room? Inquisite (snoopy) eyes want to see! ~Adrienne~

What a great plate...that says it all don't it?

Awesome deal on the rug!!!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Betty said...

OMG, BJ, you are the luckiest person at finding such nice things for a whole lot less money. That is a really nice rug. I can tell how excited you are, and I don't blame you.

I keep thinking I'm going to find some good things at thrift stores like you do, but so far it hasn't happened. Maybe I don't visit often enough.

Amelia said...

Now, aren't you the lucky ones to find such a buy as that carpet. You two were at the right place at the right time. Congratulations!

Unknown said...

BJ, that carpet is absolutely perfect for your decor. What a great deal you got. A person has to scoop up a deal like that, they do not come very often.

Tammy said...

What great finds! Love that area rug...beautiful! :)

Hope said...
