$15.00 FIND!

When I went on my early morning walk yesterday---a house a couple blocks down from me were having a garage sale--and look what I picked up for only $15.00. Can you believe it?


I had to wait for Kevin to come home, to get it home in his truck though. Isn't it beautiful. I am going to use it in my dining room as a mini-hutch or *Pie Safe* I am thinking of adding a shelf or two in the inside--I am just so thrilled with this. When I was looking at a little shop here in Town, they had one similar for 250.00--which was way over my budget.

I think you may find lots of ways to use it, for dishes, for a tv, for quilt storage, just for decorations....
you got a great deal too!

Deezie, I don't know--I keep going back and forth with that--I really like the way it looks now--with all the nicks and scuffs--makes me put a story to it, to how it got that way--kind of gives it character, kwim?
