I am sure your finds will be a lovely addition to your home. :) Glad you shared them with us. You are right, they are treasures. You showed great restraint only snagging four of them. <br /><br />Had a similar adventure here while rearranging the living room to accommodate a large TV my mother in law bought but decided she didn't want. Yes, we inherited her 55" smart TV, and while I am thankful for the gift (at least that's what I keep telling myself) it did take some mental and physical adjustments around here. These included my husband extending the fireplace mantel, painting the mantel and the firebox, and painting the wall around it. The wall is now a lovely dark accent color which we're thinking downplays the "LOOK! WE HAVE A GIANT TV!" aspect of the whole thing. We're hoping visitors notice our living room furniture and not just the TV. So the large picture that was over the mantel before has now found a home in my office. This also led to hanging a few more pictures in the office as well, ones I'd meant to hang but not gotten around to yet. And this led to me cleaning out some standing files in my office, a project that is not yet entirely complete. So, maybe like you, this will be wrapped up by June or thereabouts...Oh yeah, and then there are the dangling wires and cables my husband needs to reroute through the attic, so they don't permanently dangle from the mantel. The fun just never ends! :) Karen Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404221900813569066.post-15842965158179450672016-04-04T11:46:36.745-07:002016-04-04T11:46:36.745-07:00Oh, you so are, Rhonda!

On planes, on the couch, in the van on long trips...I used to think, "My boys won't get quilts, but they'll have cross-stitched masterpieces." And now they'll have their lives documented in newsprint and ink as well.<br /><br />I think I'm doing my part. :)Rhonda Schrockhttp://www.rhondaschrock.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404221900813569066.post-70947075823153543072016-04-04T11:00:26.311-07:002016-04-04T11:00:26.311-07:00Spring cleaning in Texas happened in January, when...Spring cleaning in Texas happened in January, when the cold weather skipped away, and just before my parents arrived for a visit.
