Next up is letting you know that this week (12/10 through 12/13) our Carol Stream store is having a DOT SALE! Scattered throughout every section of the store - look for the dots on which will be a much reduced price for that item!
Moving on! If you are- or someone you know is - into Hot Wheels - man alive - we received a doozy of a donation of scads of 'em (scads is such a great word but I can't remember the last time I used it!)! All in the original packaging and priced as marked.
And though I'll be off - our very hard working donation pickup team will NOT be so I can guarantee there will be LOTS of inventory for you to peruse for the next two weeks until I'm back!
Finally, let's take a look at some of the pieces that caught my eye this week!
this is a FABULOUS Pier 1 two drawer nightstand/end table that's in excellent condition and priced $135. I found its mate on the other end of the sofa so if you want two of them - I got you!
looks like some kitty cat scratch marks on one edge of this sofa - but
otherwise in great condition and priced $295
Pier 1 silver finish two drawer nightstand/end table number TWO!
Also in excellent condition and also priced $135
yes, there's some fading on this red velvet chair and ottoman - and a spot or two - but overall in great condition and the mere sight of it will make you smile! It's 50% goose down and 50% goose feathers. Priced $165
the label on this incredible chair and ottoman reads: The Shrine of the Home - The Best Made Line in America - Jamestown-Royal Upholstery - Jamestown, NY. In great condition and priced $145
it's probably for the best I'm taking some time off because, honestly, everything is starting to look familiar and I'm not sure what I've shown you before and what I haven't! This is a gorgeous dresser in great condition and priced $175. Fantastic - and very reality looking - fruit basket for
$15 for all the fruit and the basket! Woot!
this is an amazing - Kermit the frog green - sofa! Excellent condition and priced $645

beautiful three drawer dresser - in excellent condition and priced $225
very nice leather chair for $135
H. M. Richards upholstered side chair in great condition (see one red mark on the arm?) - priced $145
two piece, teak, Danish Modern, LIGHTED, bookcase/storage unit - in great condition and priced $1,195. This piece is stunning! Measures: 17" by 71 /2" and stands 71" tall
excellent condition mid-century modern sofa for $225 and matching chair and ottoman

slip covered loveseat in excellent condition and priced $175. I did NOT take the slip covers OFF but underneath - what I can see of the original fabric - looks great too! You're getting
two loveseats for the price of one! Love it!
we'll close with this Better Homes and Gardens excellent condition loveseat that also looks familiar so not sure if I've shown you it before or not (good grief - I'm losing it!). Priced $175
My wish for you this holiday season, dear reader - is that you see, and cherish, the beauty in the simple moments of the every day! I'll meet you back here on December 31st! Take care! 💖💖💖💖
