Dwell by Cheryl: "Deal Seeking"

Sorry about the radio silence last week. I'm not sure where the weeks go. They just seem to fly by. I've been doing quite a bit of deal seeking lately and have scored some pretty awesome finds. Last week, I extended my Labor Day weekend and took a little trip to Asheboro, NC. I heard they had some great antique malls, so I decided to check it out for myself.

I walk in the front door of the first stop and "BAM!" I'm hit by this set of brass nesting tables for $35. Wow! A little Instagram poll confirmed that this deal was too good to pass on.

Needless to say, they made their way back to my house and I LOVE them! Not sure if this is where they'll stay, but you can't beat a good set of nesting tables.

They're so very versatile and I can see me using them for years to come.

Prior to the Asheboro excursion, a quick stop in one of my favorite Goodwill locations yielded these vintage lovelies.

I have a thing for lamps and really didn't need these, but for $6.99 each I couldn't leave them behind.

A little switcheroo and I found the perfect spot for them in my home office.

Loving how this space is coming together. I need a shorter harp on the lamp on the right and I've ordered vintage finials as well. I'll give you a little update on the office project soon.

Apparently, my name is Cheryl and I'm addicted to brass animals. I ran into this brass horse this weekend at the Metrolina Expo Antiques and Collectibles Show and it just jumped in my tote bag (after I gave the vendor $6 of course). This is the last one, I promise. Any more brass animals and it's going to look like a zoo in here.

Hands down, the best deal I've scored lately was this bolt of 14 yards of Schumacher's iconic Chintz, Pyne Hollyhock fabric. I paid just $49! That's $3.50/yard! Just so you know what a big deal that is, here's a site selling drapery panels for $1000/pair.
