Those half shade table lamps are great for narrow long tables placed behind the couch against the wall. I have that set up in my living room. It provides great reading light sitting on the couch, character, a table top to add interesting pieces too without hogging up a narrower room floorspace.

[@bradpaul8576]

I agree, the half lamp shades are neat and are a space saver. Very European.

[@susansewardfamily]

Actually would be great on a mantel or side shelves

[@Not-thatKaren]

[@debrabullington7805]

You put back the framed cat! Bad idea. People would have ignored the matting colors for the fact that this was done in Counted Cross Stitch. It took many, many hours to complete!

[@brendakarason7680]

I will actually buy the whole thing just to get the cross stitch. I donate the frame back.

[@nicolesteddum3328]

Sell the cat unframed and also those mats can be painted any color with craft paints. I have painted my fair share of mats.

The Rhogam mugs could be old when the drug came out. Rhogam is given to pregnant women who are a negative blood type. If the fetus and mother’s blood would mix it could cause complications in either the mother or fetus I believe. I am B negative blood type so I’ve had rhogam during both my pregnancies.

[@charlottemccaig578]

The half lamp shades are correct. Those lamps usually sell for $50-$80 each. Gives you more table space since lamp can fit closer to the wall. The dog doorstop is a Boston Terrier along with the planter you put back. That had value...I believe that is Betty Boops dog, Pudgy. I'd have taken the needlework cat out of the frame and sold it that way. It would sell, cats are so popular right now. Owls are making another comeback too. Not sure about buying that framed print with the white circular mat...it's pretty common but I'm guessing you checked comps

So happy for you both. Today I especially loved the Indiana mug and the Covered Bridge picture. Not sure if you picked up the mug. I'm from Indiana originally and we had a lot of covered bridges in the area where I lived. You and Roger work so hard. We do not have good thrift stores here in the Kansas City, MO area. Would love to visit PA someday. God bless you both and thank you for sharing your thrifting/selling life with us.
