I am always looking for the big bargain.
<Maybe I am cheap.>
Chucks says I am a miser.
But when I caught a glimpse of this real beauty, I was ready to put down real money.
A tray table.
Well, maybe more than distressed since I have to seal the top to preserve the painted finish.
She has been exposed to high humidity.
She has crackled all by herself.
I have named her Amelia Rose.
Once I name a piece it is hard to sell her off to some stranger.
(Dear customers, I do not mean you!)
Do you think she will be comfortable with my primitives?
Store the bottom in the attic.
Maybe place her on the living room mantel.
Amelia Rose may be staying for a little while.
Real beauty and I paid real money.
See y'all!

Sweet!!! Amelia Rose. How on earth could you part with her now? Like giving away your dog. (well, not exactly). :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by! You are an excellent writer -- very entertaining to read. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful name for a real beauty! You scored with this one Donna! Thanks for sharing this and Ed's Editions at History & Home!
ReplyDeleteAmelia Rose is just gorgeous! Great find! You know...I don't think it's that we are cheap...just that once you become a thrifter, you know what great deals you can get and it's hard to pay real money for stuff. It is for me anyway! Hope your Tuesday was great!

Great piece Donna and so versatile in that you can use it as just a tray; a wall hanging if you wish and a table. It is beautiful and you did not have to work your magic on it.
