Turns out I kinda miss blogging...who knew?
Anyhoodle, I believe I mentioned my glee at finding a china cabinet at the antique store near the folks' cottage. I have finally taken a minute to print a picture of it. I haven't quite figured out the correct correlation between pic on camera and pic in printer, because the cabinet also has a large piece at the top you can't see here, and a long drawer all across the bottom. I also apologize for the quality. A photographer I ain't. But you can get the general gist. The long glass door is bowed, as is the drawer on the right. The cupboard below has leaded glass. It's made of tiger oak. And I lurve it!
Next up, I'll show you the mahogany veneer buffet we also got for a bargoon because the guy had it in his truck and offered it to us rather than having to wait to unload it later. I see a new bathroom vanity in its future...
But back to work. Fourth draft and I've cut about 26 pages. Ay yi yi. But that's the way it goes with me, so I'm not panicking.
Yet.

It's gorgeous! And the things you find when you aren't really looking for them are the best. I have this cool sideboard kind of piece that I found at a flea market. LOVE it.
Welcome back to blogland.
It's like finding buried treasure, isn't it? :-)
I'll be driving down to Boston next month, and I'm hoping to find some out-of-the-way antique or craft shops, or flea markets on the way.
I love old furniture and this looks like a beautiful piece. They don't make furniture like that anymore.
