After reading the wordy description, which I of course liked, as I have, ahem, been known to be a bit wordy myself, I decided to click through to the pictures to see if it would better jog my memory as to which house this actually was. And what did I find? Well gosh darn it if I didn't find a piece of original "artwork" designed by Winnipeg Girl herself! Seriously. What are the odds of that? Now, of course you're all wondering if I'm actually some sort of high profile artist that you've seen in a gallery (okay, maybe one of you is wondering) and that of course then it wouldn't be odd to come across my works occasionally in Winnipeg homes.
The MLS link will go dead after the house sells so here it is. |
So, I called (okay, texted) the friend who had bought the chair from me at my yard sale only to find out that she had in turn sold it in a yard sale a few years later. So my admittedly primitive piece of "art" went from a yard sale in the North End to a yard sale in St. James and ended up back in the North end on Selkirk Ave. And then I saw a picture of it on the internet. To think that people actually wonder how it is that everybody knows everybody by three degrees of separation or less.
It also makes me happy that it is nicely displayed and not shoved in a corner :)
Now that is cool!
ReplyDeleteA couple of years ago, while perusing a Value Village, I came across an old monochrome IBM monitor I'd "decorated" with felt pen in the late 80s. I'd gotten rid of the monitor in the early 90s and was (pleasantly) surprised to find it was still kicking about.
Small world, eh?
They don't build things like they used to.
