dropped off a few new (old) things at country roads on tuesday. once again, my camera stayed lodged in my pocket. "memory of a snail" - that's me!! was so involved in getting the goods in and cleaning up, that i forgot.

bryce was a gigantic help - an angel, actually - since i should not be lifting heavy stuff till after i visit the doc july 1st.

new items are:

- - the funkiest, coolest, chippy, peely, red-over-blue-over-a-different-blue, vintage (60's -70's) patio coffee table w/black iron legs and 2 benches to match. wood plank construction. all sold seperately just in case you don't have room for it all. add some pink flamingos, a vintage hibachi (barbecue), a bottle of thunderbird (remember that!) and it's party time!!!!!!!!!!

- - along a more traditional line - a square nail construction, very old cupboard. she boasts original country blue paint aged to perfection. the fact that it has "alligator-ed" adds immensly to her charm. top double doors with original old metal screen, single large middle drawer, and pair of solid bottom doors completes her gasp-for-air quality.

- - an old shop cupboard who wants to move indoors. bluish-grey, hint of black, well-worn paint on this thick board primitive makes it fabulous! 2 large doors and a shelf designed to hold screwdrivers handle up. he'd be happiest hung on a wall. possibly would agree to being table-top. but, if forced, would easily settle for the floor. large enough yet small enough to go almost anywhere.

- - a chair. a bucket-seat style in heavy mesh wire. iron legs, arms, and delicate frame. all done up in old torquoise paint. he'd fit into the industrial look perfectly for a vanity, desk, kitchen, or porch perching. you have got to check him out.

- - crane your neck and look up to find mounted on top my side wall, a wonderful old bannister. chippy marroon paint over a greenish (?) chippy paint - exceptionally aged. thin, turned spindles and large solid post. divide a room, create a dramantic entrance, or just decorate a large white wall with it. simple yet divine.

did sprinkle a few smaller items about. even my cases hold a new treasure or two you may want to rush in to see: vintage carnival knockdowns, vintage french glass bead flowers, and . . . .
