Copper~n~Things: August 2011

Welcome

Welcome to our old farmhouse. Over the past year I have learned so much history of this house and the people who lived here. Ninety six years of love, loss, hopes and dreams. Preservation continues and there is always a repair to be done. We are trying to be purest in our preservation as much as we possibly can. I hope you follow along and each week I will try to give you a little history of the house as well as the first owners of the house. I've been lucky enough to find a journal from a Granddaughter who talks about the house as well as her Grandparents. So come follow along and learn about this old house as well as the occupants, old and new.

Pending Contract

Yippee, we are finally under contract! Signed last night!

It has been a very long eight months, but I guess I should feel very

blessed, since it is taking some people years to sell!

I guess it helps that there are only four houses in town for sell.

So now will come the fun (not so fun) part, packing, tossing more

and finding another place. At least DH and I will wake up in the

same state! So maybe if all goes well I can meet some of the creative

and talented SC bloggers I ~~stalk~~ mean follow!

See you soon,

Sandy

Working With What You Have!

Not allot has changed in the dining room.
If you read my last post, you saw that the house has
been on the market for the last eight months and
anyone who has sold a home knows what the most
dreaded word is...declutter and maybe there is one
more depersonalize!!!!!
OK so now we are "For Sale By Owner"
one possible contract this week! If not the house will
come off the market until spring! The winters are just to
bad here to try to move! Our plans are to downsize, since
we are now empty nester's!
A little pretty from a garage sale last summer with
clearance candles from TJ Maxx. Adds a little fall
touch with the hydrangeas.
