How is this for some newspaper art, compliments of the sunlight and shadows at my front door one morning.
I went on a nice walk with a good friend Saturday morning. The weather was sunny and bright for the most part. We stopped off at an estate sale down the road. It made me sad to see someone's treasured possessions being sold off. Some of the items were so nice. It is time to declutter as the saleslady said, it will make it easier when the time comes. My girlfriend did buy a couple of good knives for a dollar. After dropping the knives back to her car, we went for a nice cup of coffee and a chat.
After our walk, we went to a restaurant for a lovely Japanese bento box lunch. My friend paid the bill when I went to the washroom, so I didn't have much choice but to thank her for her kindness!

Lovely photo! Glad you had a fun day out. Hugs, Valerei
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have such a lovely, generous friend. I used to love Estate Sales, but you're right... it's sad to think why things have to be sold. Every so often my mom tries to declutter, but I've told her not to give away things she still loves. She should just enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Kay in making use of the things you love - I'm using more and more of our special crockery even if it is only now and again.
ReplyDeleteGood friends are hard to come by so be nice to your walking companion lol
I've never had a bento box but I do know of them
ReplyDeleteEstate sales are quite sad. I feel this way more and more as my mom gets older. One day my brother and I will have to sort through her things; a lifetime of moments. I hope it won't be for many more years.
ReplyDeleteMy heirs will have to get rid of all my artworks after I die. Wonder what will happen.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photograph! The lights and shadows are so beautiful, you captured a wonderful moment. It sounds like a really nice time you had with your friend!
ReplyDeletePeople keep the darnedest stuff and think someone will want it after they die. Hah. More likely they will pay an estate sales person to get rid of it. I have two friends who keep saying their out of state children will come to take care of their belongings when they are gone. I don't believe it for a minute. Those children will hire someone to get rid of all of their stuff.
ReplyDeleteI love bento boxes. We loved going to the Japanese restaurant in Bracebridge!
ReplyDeleteThat was sneaky (and kind), or your friend.
