Crying Doesn't Help

Went to Goodwill to look for some furniture to paint for the shop. Found the most beautiful French Provincial coffee table with a marble center. I was estatic. Finished my shopping and moved my car to load the piece. Couldn't believe the helpers were loading it on its side. Watched the marble slip out and go crashing to the cement. It was an accident but oh how I wanted to paint that beautiful table........

Expanding the business

Today I stopped at Traditions Antique Mall to pick up the contract and to measure my new space. My new space will feature more shabby pieces with an emphasis on painted furniture. This past weekend we went to the Lakewood 400 in Cumming, Georgia. I made several great contacts with fellow shabby friends. I purchased some unique items to put in the new space on September 1. I also met the new owner of High Faluting Junk. She is having fun being a Annie Sloan mini stockist and experimenting with the great Annie Sloan paint. Who would know I would be so busy in retirement and be having so much fun exploring the antique and vintage world.  More later.
