Mr. T and I FINALLY made it to this little place that we found last fall to do some shopping this weekend. When we stumbled up it last fall we had our little one with us and it just wasn’t condusive for true treasure hunting. We have been talking about getting back to this place, but hadn’t until this weekend. It’s one of those places that you have to climb over things to get to the next. It’s dusty, dirty, but full of treasures. You know the kind you walk in and you’re glad you have closed toed shoes on, but wish you would have brought your gloves too. We were hoping to have a sitter the next time we went back since it’s not the most ideal place for a 3 year old. However, lining up a sitter sounds easier than it is sometimes. These days teenagers are so busy playing sports and working you have to book them weeks in advance. And since you have to call ahead to make sure the place is even open…planning weeks in advance just doesn’t work in this case. So our family of 3 went to do a little hunting and before we got there we practiced “keeping our hands in our pockets”. Those of you with little ones know EXACTLY what I am talking about. This place makes my heart flutter. So many treasures and you can only take a few…mostly because I don’t have a vehicle large enough to fit them all in!
I thought I would start by sharing the little night stands we picked up. It is solid rock maple (Condider H. Willett Furniture Company out of Louisville, KY) and must weigh 25-30 pounds. The finish was in rough condition, but the piece was a solid as the day it was built. So we snagged it! I couldn’t wait to get started painting it. It’s been several weeks since I have made it to the garage and I was missing it.
This picture should speak a THOUSAND words!!
