HAPPY OCTOBER FIRST- I am BACK!!!!!

I did not want to come back until

life had leveled out and I knew that

I could be here on a regular basis.

Thought you were rid of me, didn't you?

You were wrong!

BECAUSE-

The old broad is back!

I sure have missed you guys

and have
LOTS TO SHARE

with you.

I will fill you in on more details

of our 

Summer Of Angst

as time goes on.

Let's just say 

I am glad that this 

SEASON IN MY LIFE
is over (for today).

Lest you think I was sitting on my 

big ugly butt all summer doing nothing-

I did several projects.

But, I am going to share just 

ONE PROJECT

with you today.

I have had this old piece for about

100 75 30 years.

It was made by 

WHITE FURNITURE.

They made fine hand-crafted pieces in

 North Carolina for many years.

This has a 

HEAVY SLATE INSET TOP.

The wood was in bad shape and not

worth restoring/refinishing.

Here she is all gussied up with 

White Dove paint.

Yes-yes- now I see it - the black cord hanging down.

AND- in case you are wondering why the picture looks a 

LITTLE SQUIGGLY--

I might have had a BLOND MOMENT 

and had my

camera set on SLO-MO....

yeah...

Surprise!  Surprise!

as Gomer Pyle used to say.

Here's what that ugly puppy looked like before-

And, just for fun,

I painted the inside blue!

Fun is different things for different people, you know.

Well, I won't bore you with more today-

I want to get around to 

VISIT YOU!

And, just so you don't think 

I have lost my sense of humor

I will leave you with this-

Being as this is now

Halloween Month....

(I am the one that is smiling kindly)

    I am sure I can get an 

AMEN from my kids on that one!
