So we went to an estate sale run by Plum Estate Sales on Saturday. I do not enjoy being in the crowd waiting to get in...I've done that a few times and it's just not worth it to me. So I try to wait at least an hour after opening to let some of the hardcores get on out of there.
I entered the house and walked through the dining and living rooms and didn't see anything that caught my eye. Then I went to the family room...and there it was. An 8 X 11 Jacobean wool rug...straight from Target..just like my runner I have in my entry hall. They want $100 for it. I quickly look it up on my phone and find that it sells for a mere $379 online...I knew there was some reason I only bought the runner.
I grab the ticket and pay for it. I ask the woman running the sale to assist me in getting it. She moves the corner of the couch and it is then we discover...

Dang! I should've known it was too good to be true. I told her I no longer wanted the rug. She offered it to me for $80 and I still couldn't chance it at that price...I declined. She stood there for a second and said how about $20? Heck yeah! I'll figure something out for $20. So we rolled it up and hauled it out of there.
When we got home, we rolled it out and I knew I had made the right decision! The chewed corner was only 4 1/4" into the rug so we decided to cut it.

I knew my trusty Cutco scissors would be able to gut through all of it Ron set up the laser level so I could get a straight cut. |

| And I commenced to cutting that rug! |

| Look at that $20 rug!!!!! I LOVE ESTATE SALES!! |
