[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 35615, member: 106"]With the holiday hub-bub, only a few "finds" were found here at our house ... but first, some catching up on other's finds. evelyb - gorgeous jacket ... I would [U]soooo[/U] have worn that 25 pounds ago. s-o-s - wishing you an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. cxgirl - CUTE furniture! verybrad - nice book rack (my husband would want to melt it though) Here was a pre-Christmas find at the TS. A six board blanket chest (looks like maple to us, but we're not sure) ... learned about snipe-hinges from this piece - never saw them before and didn't know what they were at the time (sure do now) I had to convince my husband that there would be room in the house for it ... and that $65.00 was a decent price.
