NOT EMBROIDERY RELATED
I just want to share something amazing with you
we have freecycle over here in the uk thats a bit like craigs list.
my daughter needed a wardrobe haveing had to sell her Victorian one to get money to pay a big urgent bill.
So, when i spotted a wardrobe on freecycle i decided to ask for it . collection by sunday or it goes to the tip.
Fine, i went to collect it on saturday and got it loaded into the back of our old nissen. i told the man that my daughter loved old furniture and he asked if she would be interested in a table and chairs
yep she would be so a table and four chairs were added to the back of the car.
In the same room were two more pieces of matching furniture, a side board and drinks cabinet. Do you think she would like those too. I told him i would ask her,
It was not till we took them out the car at daughters that i noticed a small oval ivory coloured losenge under the immaculate table that i realised what i had.
Wardobe is a vintage Stag, the tabble and chairs are vintage Robin Day.
I have just rung the man to ask when i can pick up the other two bits of furniture and will get them tomorrow evening.
he told me they were going to go to the tip today but he will hold them for me to collect
I know he has his own firm and drives a big car so perhaps he just isn't interested in these.
why am i telling you this?
I am a big believer that if you help others that in your time of need it will come back to you
i have just seen a Robin day side board the same that i am to collect up for sale in a designer shop for
£850.00 that will be a lead as to the cost of the other items and there is a set of the table and chairs in the V&A museum in LOndon. my skin is still tingling. the Gods are good. annie
on a major score.
Sarah.
I expect the man is absolutely thrilled to have given them to you. It is special to know that your old treasures are being enjoyed by someone who appreciates it.
this set is worth more than that
