Life is just weird. I've come to be a true believer in the idea that if you put something out to the universe, the universe will answer. Hopefully it is the answer you are looking for. Yesterday morning I did a post on Chinoiserie garden stools and how I was specifically obsessing over the elephant version. Shortly after, I receive an email from a neighbor asking me if I had been to the estate sale in our neighborhood because it was full of items from the 60s/70s that I might be interested in. She forewarned me that "digging" would be involved. Since I had no knowledge of said estate sale (I'm off my game), I hopped in the car to check it out. She was right. Let's just say this person had a collecting problem and not the good kind. After doing an initial once over and seeing nothing of interest, I decided to do a more thorough inspection of the back room that was piled high. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a trunk sticking up out of the pile. I hurried over and pulled back the boxes to unearth a very cool vintage elephant garden stool. THANK YOU UNIVERSE!
Here's a quick look at my current selection. Don't you need one of these under your tree? Have a great weekend everyone!
Not fair!!! :) The right one looks like the mom version of my bookends.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great story. I really need to hit up an estate sale.
ReplyDeleteI like the one on the left. (Heard an elephant's trunk should be raised for good luck?)

So true! In my area Estate Sale means rip-off! Great score.
ReplyDeleteAsk and you shall receive. I got a white one off of CL a few months ago and I have spied one in the yard of what looks like a vacant house. I want it but not sure how to proceed. What would you do?
