One FaB Find... One Regret...

YESTERDAY MoRning...  I hit the Road at 5:30 a.m. to do some ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ShoPPing in Illinois...

 Here's My - Just FaB F*I*N*D...

 This PeRfeCtLy Crusty... Rusty... 

 ViNtaGe Garden Table is a keeper FOR NOW!*!*!

I'm soooo glad Terry LoVes ViNtaGe ShoPPing

 as much as I do!!!

 Here's my ONE ReGret!*!*!

1. The price was most certainly right!!!

2. Over-The-Top FaB Form!!! Hard to see in the pics - but even the top front edge had a scalloped apron jutting out..

3. Condition issues - the right door didn't open and there was no easy way make it open  due to a secure wood divider... 

4. Top had some wood loss... Could have been filled in - but I'd never match that RED...

4. Legs after scrubbing would almost be bare especially in the rear...

5. Although the RED TOP was attractive - would I dare paint it white???

 Then I Saw it IN-FRONT Of Someone Else's Truck!!!

I wanted it - EVEN MORE!*!*!

You know how that goes...

By days end, Terry and I were "toast"...

I'll be heading out "before the birds - tomorrow" 
to SELL My ViNTaGe F*I*N*D*S!*!*!
