Remember me telling you I had to go to the store and get the stuff to make a Carrot cake for Len's Birthday ??? Well we have a consignment shop in town and I go there all the time...BIG Mistake !!!! I had No intentions of stopping by on my mission to get my cake....Oh but girls this was in the window and my car "BRAKES" for antiques..... I stopped and then I heard it SCREAM my name...so what's a girl to do but just check it out...Now all I was going to do was look Right!!! but this sofa knew me on a first name BASICs...just look at this does it not say Gloria??
Any way I am fast thinking...being the first of the month and all do I need this? where will I put it etc...The price was so right...OK I got leftover candles from Christmas...Takes care of our lights...plenty left in the freezer....takes care of our food...Does Len really need that cable TV? I mean come on he did just find with rabbit ears before and we have plenty of tin foil to bring in enough channels with....And does Len really need a Birthday cake at his age ???? and besides I didn't want to waste those candles on a cake....
Now is this not just the prettiest sofa?? Yes it came home with me... This is the back Oh I am loving all this wood craving on it...
Oh and look at the legs !!! this is so me...this sofa is ca. 1900 and its in great shape...of course I had to redo my Bedroom to get it in there...and then had to tell Len "Happy Birthday" just look what I got you !!! Hey that's fair he bought me tires and wheels for his 1940 Ford he restoring for my Birthday... Oh and I bought an Ice cream cake for him I didn't have time to bake a carrot cake I had to make room for his birthday present ha ha!!
Hope all of you have a safe and blessed day....as for me I have to finish decorating around Len's Birthday present...Oh the things I do for that man !!! Thanks for coming by and seeing my silly blog once again...Until next time from my mountain to yours,
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

I remember this post too! That sofa is so stunning!
Love the ice cream cake instead of carrot, lol!
What a gorgeous gorgeous sofa it is. I wish it would have called my name though! LOL. To funny about buying it for your husband's birthday. It does only seem far though.
Oh, I just adore Len's Birthday Present! ha Sounds just like something I would too with my husband's gift. I always find him something that I'd enjoy too.
This is stunning!

Hi Gloria,
I remember this fun post too.
I adore your sofa and so glad that you got it.
A carrot cake can be baked anytime but I imagine you would not see a sofa so beautiful as this very often.
Hugs
Carolyn
OH LORD, that is just beautiful, I know Len must be so proud of that.
Love Ya,
Chris
Beautiful sofa. Thanks for your visit and heads up on the falling hearts on my blog. I have not had any trouble so far. Have a blessed day. Madeline
OH YOU ARE FUNNY, GLORIA! I loved this post and girl, that couch just screamed your name!!! Gorgeous!! Cindy
Holy cow, what a find!!!!!!!! Gloria, that sofa is stunning and SO perfect for you! The workmanship on the wood is just incredible. Enjoy it!
Justine :o )
Hi Gloria, you always manage to bring a smile for sure. I missed this post the first time around. I do hope Len has enjoyed this MOST beautiful antique sofa! Wow, is it pretty. Love the engraving on the wood!
Oh, I'm glad to read I'm not the only Mama who cried when her daughter tried on wedding gowns! Yes, it was very emotional for me. We had a GREAT day together and she found a couple of gorgeous gowns that really have the WOW factor going on. It was a very good start. Thanks for your visit.
Oh, Gloria. You're so funny. I love visiting your blog. That is the most gorgeous couch I've ever seen. Are you sure its not calling my name? I think I hear it. I saw one recently in an antique mall. It was all battered and beaten up. Otherwise I think it would have called my name. Len was so lucky to get such a beauty for his birthday. Rosie
Well did hubby like his birthday present? I know I sure do. Great find!!!
I've been very fortunate not to get 'man things' for any of my birthdays - I know my Mother use to from my Dad. LOL
I did get a rotiller once but asked for that. hehehe
Hi Gloria! lol lol Yes, I remember this story! What a lucky man to get such a beautiful birthday present! I hope you are feeling better, dear friend! We are still waiting here. The dr seems to be hemming and hawing about inducing Page, so we aren't sure when Austin will arrive. But it has to be soooooon!! Happy Sunday!...hugs...Debbie
I too remember this one. My question is did you get the tires for your birthday or is he restoring the Ford for your birthday?
Gloria have a blessed Sunday!...
Once more your treasures have amazed us :)
I really don't see how you had any other choice. When a sofa jumps out of the window screaming your name and chases you down, you either have to take it home with you or else try to explain to everyone why you have a sofa following you around crying and begging.
I think you made the right choice.
Great post.
Thanks for visiting my blog.

Hi Gloria, I remember this post, ...because of that gorgeous sofa!!! :)
Loved your "chippendale" post below! I laughed out loud at the last picture...30 years later! ...and hey, I believe they were on tour at our Walmart, too! LOL!
Hope you are feeling MUCH better! Thoughts and prayers are with you! ~hugs, Rhonda :)
Gloria, you are so funny! Anyway, the sofa is beautiful, love the wood and the fabric. But please, make the man a carrot cake! : ) Linda
I loved this the first time...hope you are feeling better today!
Sue
What a funny story and it ended happily ever after. I bet that Len is afraid to sit on it.
It is very lovely. I would have made the same decision.
Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a nice comment. Now, I know about you and I'm becoming a follower. I'll be back often.
Sissie
