Yard Sale Find
This passed weekend as I drove back and forth from Chris’s parent’s house and our new place, I noticed a yard sale. What drew me to it were two Japanese Shoji Screens. We didn’t have time to stop at the moment, but I went back later and asked the woman to hold one of them for me for $30 (!). She had originally bought them for $160, and they were still brand new as she never used them. Anyway, I didn’t have cash at the time so I told her I would come back for them later in the day.
Around 3:00 that afternoon I sent Chris over with the money to pick them up, but the yard sale was gone. I figured if I went over there I would be able to figure out which house the lady lived in (because they had taken the screen inside to save it for me). Luckily, I returned, money in hand, and my screen was safely inside their house!
It looks great in our bedroom, what a great find. I’ll post a picture asap.
