Yard sales of course bring a few new 'boring' clothes and books into the house, but on rare occasions, they offer some real treasures for your home. This weekend was a treasure weekend. This was my favorite item...a deacons bench for the front door-so that people can sit to take off their shoes. It fits snugly between the wall and stairs and was less than $10.00!
Of course, after ALL the treasures I got in one trip-I was happy I have only been yard saling a few times this season! Imagine all the money I might have spent on treasures we really didn't need!
I love that bench! I have a little one by my front door - it was a gift to me when I was pregnant with my first. It is child-sized, but the kids still use it. We call it the "bus stop". I'm not sure why, maybe one of the little ones used it to pretend one day?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find.
I absolutely LOVE it and am jealous of YOUR FINDS this time! You can never say that I find the good deals anymore, because in my opinion- YOU HIT THE JACKPOT :)
ReplyDeleteI have that exact same bench that I found at a thift store several years ago. Currently it's being stored in the shed as I can't find a home for it at our new home. :(
ReplyDeleteLove your bench.
