A Lucky Find

I went to a thrift sale this morning at a church nearby. Today is unusual because there are two big church rummage events happening at the same time- up here in our neck of the woods and in Irvington. So, I chose to stay local, had a little bit of cash and went at the beginning of the sale. Towards the end of my hunt, I ran in to a friend in the furniture tent. Looking down, I saw this interesting umbrella stand- beat up but stately. Affordably priced, I picked it up. My heart did a leap when I saw the faded Fornasetti mark on the bottom. What an incredible designer he was. What a lucky find!
