A hidden treasure…….

 

I picked this little bench up when we were in Round top Texas a few weeks ago. I paid $40 for it which is a real deal compared to what they sell for at a lot of places!

 I picked the books up at various antique shops……only paying $2 or $3 for each of them. I then removed the covers and bound them with jute and string.

                                                                        The handwriting on the front is beautiful……….

 

As you can see the little bench is completely hidden behind the sofa and can only be seen when you first walk in the front door. One of the quirks of living in an old house is the limitations of furniture placement in rooms that were originally intended for much smaller scaled furniture and entirely different purposes! 

My poor camera is on it’s last leg so I am looking for a new one. I would love the hear what all of you use. I need something that is user friendly and that won’t break the bank. Hopefully the one I have now will hang on just  a bit longer?!?!?!?
