I couldn't help myself. I checked out the linen rack at Goodwill.
After my non-vintage bedspread bust, perhaps a normal person
would know not to even look for another and just give it a rest.
Ha. Like I'm normal. I looked anyway.
What were the odds of there being a cool vintage bedspread sitting on the rack?
Pretty good actually.
She's Pretty. She's soft. She's a Queen.
I think it will be fun to cozy up and read a book on this soft spread.
The reason I'd gone to Goodwill in the first place is that my mom came to visit.
I wanted something vintage-y and homey for her room.
I'd bribed my son to give up his room for the week.
I wanted to transform Boy Sports Room into Homey Mom's Room.
Here's the reality:
Yes, I bribed my 15 year old to sleep on the couch. I paid him $20.
I realize it's pathetic to pay your child to give up his room to his visiting grandmother. But, you have to understand that twenty bucks is a small price to pay to totally avoid any and all complaining that a teenager can do. Worth every penny. AND it got him to clean his room top to bottom including drawers and closets. This is big.
He found an amazing thing- the floor.
I ended up throwing some vintage table cloths over a desk and nightstand to feminine up the room. I had about 4 hours notice to get her room ready. It was a surprise visit!!
On Saturday, mom returned home and my son returned to a Clean Room.
This all has nothing whatsoever to do with finding a chenille bedspread.
The End.
Hug your mom!
xo jeanne.
Even though I no longer hsve my shop, I still look through those Goodwill linen racks. And I would get a buzz from finding real deal chenille.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the bribe. And glad that you still want to hug and spend time with your Mother even after she surprise visits you.
Love,

Great chenille blanket, and glad to see I am not the only one who "bribes" her teenager!
