More Browsing With the French Sisters

Hello Again From The French Hen's Nest,

I noticed a new Goodwill on the way home from my son's house the other night, and decided that I would check it out today. It's huge, but not as much in housewares as the other store that I usually feature. However, it did have tons of art, and some good books. Anyway, I took a few photos, and I'm sharing them with you now. Hope you enjoy browsing.

Great for the sun porch

Pretty Fall platter

This bed is so pretty for $60, queen size too

Another pretty bed

These were 18x18 inches, of wood, really like the teal for $2.50

Nice big basket

More baskets

Christmas wreath for $9

I think this carved wooden bowl is from South America. Where it is cracked it has been repaired with metal like staples. Must be very old, really quaint.

These look like ceramic, but are wood for $2.50!

Aren't they beautifully painted?

Love this transfer-ware plate.

My sister would love this milk glass hen.

Cuisinart coffee maker for $8.98!

Great color on this pretty clock

A long wall of art...

...and books

Remember these French portraits?

Original oil painting for $20

So pretty

Very modern

Something for every taste.

Well I hope you enjoyed sharing my latest browsing trip. I am still between homes and living with my daughter so I had to exercise restraint and took nothing home with me. It's not so hard when I think of my overflowing storage unit!

Till nest time,
Jeannie

My Sister's House

Hello Again From The French Hen's Nest,

Have you ever stayed in a place that was so comfortable, calm, and warm that you didn't want to leave? That's how I feel when I stay with my sister. All of my needs are fulfilled without asking, the bedroom envelopes you in warmth and loveliness. The meals are excellent, and the company is loving and caring. I always end up staying an extra day, and when I leave, I feel refreshed, totally calm, not a worry in the world, like I've lost ten pounds of stress.
My (her) bed is so comfortable, and one thing that I love is that my sister always lays out some comfortable lounging clothing for me to wear, I always look forward to this.
We have the best time together, we enjoy the same television movies or series, always go shopping, and go out for lunch. It is a home of peace and love, and you can feel it. I just don't get there often enough.
Here are a few pictures of her lovely home.
