I'm back ~

After a whirlwind week in Michigan, I am back at home and swamped with unpacking and organizing my loot.  It took me and my Mom about 16 hours to get home.  At 1:30 am we fell into bed at my house, and then I had to take her home to Augusta, GA.  My Dad had my dog (and spoiled her rotten with new dog food, a new bed for his truck and lots of treats!) so I had to pick her up anyway, and my office is there so we could get caught up with work.

Very tired Finn!

I have another secret (not really) stash of furniture, at our warehouse, and I finally got a look at the $15 dollar buffet they bought me on the GA 90 mile yard sale. It's PERFECT and will be great painted.  Here is the gross part:  It was infested with bugs and roaches.  My Dad had to hose it down several times and clean out the drawers just to be able to bring it into the warehouse. YUCK!


Can't you just see the potential?





See? Not bad at all. It is missing one of the bell handles, but I have some extra at home so no big deal.   I Love it. It's old, real wood and can be used as a dresser or buffet. 
I just need to get it home and start working on it, right after I do 1000 other pieces. Hopefully not!

My parents have turned into pickers!  Last year, they came home from Michigan with 2 benches, a small table and a weathervane and it all has sold, after being painted up cute like, by moi! 

I didn't know what to expect for $15, but they did great.  I have more pics of Lake Michigan that I will make you suffer through tomorrow, and you will LOVE it!

Glad to be home. Wish I was still in MI.
