VINTAGE SOFA AND CHRISTMAS TREE....
All in one weekend!
Patti and Mark arrived yesterday afternoon!!! There is my "baby".....the Henredon sofa from 1968!!!
The upholsterer came with her truck a few hours later and whisked it away to her workshop. The next time we see it it will be absolutely drop dead,.....GORGEOUS!!!!
This morning, Patti and I headed out for, Yes....... you guessed it Senoia and Peachtree City!! Patti did a lot of Christmas shopping in Senoia......that should keep a few of my readers interested and excited!
It was early, no reason to head home, so off to Peachtree City! I wanted to check the large nursery, Pikes, to see when they were opening their Christmas shop and when they would have the flocked trees ready for sale................
SURPRISE......................they started selling flocked trees last week!!!! Apparently once the tree has been "flocked" it is preserved for at least one year..... or longer. They have customers who use them for two or three seasons!!! A much improved process from the 60's! So, not to let the perfect tree slip me buy......I bought one!!! They are holding it until we can get it home.....I am one happy camper.
Of course the "bringing home THE tree" will be a great photo opportunity and hopefully I can show it. I can't believe I bought a Live Christmas Tree on Nov. 20th!!!
"Stay Tuned" ..... a LOT is going on.....
Can't wait to see the couch and the tree... and you on Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know a flocked tree could last so long. Very interesting. Looking forward to seeing the tree and the sofa. I'm already in holiday decorating mode and can't wait to start working on my house!
