Earlier this week Cookie and I went to one of our favorite thrifts, VNA Hidden Treasures. It's a VNA Hospice thrift that's probably the nicest in town.
I walked to the back and I saw a pale green ornate French Provincial bedroom set that just screamed "COOKIE". Right after I noticed it, I saw Cookie maneuvering the stroller over to more closely inspect it. As we both got closer we spied the "SOLD" signs all over the set.
Never in the history of furniture building has a bedroom set been more made for one person.
The set arrived the week before and they wanted $1100 for it. It was a 1952 Pennsylvania furniture creation that was still in pretty good shape.
They had sold it a few days before we got there for $800 cash.
The manager of the shop, Theresa, is pretty great and we're going to ask her to pass on our contact info to the lady that bought it in case she ever gets tired of it.
On the winning side, we went to a Goodwill next door and got a great baby's room lamp.
A couple days later we found another lamp by the same company in the local Humane Society thrift.
Cookie would love to have a collection of those lamps in the baby's room.
We won, we lost.
