THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME


After not visiting my local podunk resale shop in several weeks, I just happened in yesterday and discovered this...



It's a side table made with a drawer! Isn't it too cute?

And lookie, here's another one just like it, only smaller...






They were being used to hold puzzles in one room and small stuffed toys in another. They didn't even have prices on them, but that never deters a true junker, right? You don't get if ya don't ask, that's Picker 101.

I never divulge what I've paid anymore, but they were cheaper than dirt.
Can't wait to take them to the booth next week!

I'm off now to a doctor's appointment in San Antonio, wish me luck!

  40. Love, love, love them! What a fantastic idea. From what I've been told, I slept in a drawer at my Mammaw's when I was a baby so maybe that is why I have an attraction to these lovelies! :) Good luck at the doctor's. I took care of all my appointments over the Spring Break. Have a great weekend. Tammy
