BLUE MONDAY is here and I'm ready to play !!
SMILING SALLY, I don't have MUCH blue in this post,
but I made sure I had a little bit so I could play with all the rest.

Thanks to RHODA for hosting this fun Monday event...***
Be sure to visit both sites and all the participants ...
and THANK YOU for coming by to see me today...

My thrifted item this week is my
ENGLISH chest of drawers.....
I have blogged about this in the past, so if you've seen it all
before, just bear with me...
*
*
I dearly love the old wood... I love the color and I wish I knew what kind of wood it is becauseit is one of the few woods that I like UNpainted....
*
The key holes on each and every drawer just make my heart sing....
The brass pulls are new...from Reproduction Hardware...
*
I bought this piece at one of the BEST garage sales I've ever been to in myentire loooong life.
I spent $200.00 at the sale and had to come home and get Mr. Sweets pickup truck..... I dearly LOVE hauling home treasures by the truck load !!!!
*
I gave the nice lady $40.00 for this beautiful chest and went home
smiling, singing, dancing and thanking my lucky stars (which we ALL know is named GOD).....
HAPPINESS.... !!!*****
it's the little things.......

Hi BJ, I have a BIG grin on my face, YOU'RE PLAYING MY SONG!!!! There's nothing better on a Saturday morning than a good garage sale. The unadvertised ones are fun because they aren't so crowded. Of course we sometimes get there an hour before they begin, so I have to say we don't get stuck in too many crowds, HA. Have a great week!
Hi BJ,
Thanks for the sweet words on my blog earlier. I really appreciate them.
Love your blog. It's really cute. Looks like you got some great treasures. Don't cha just love that??
Hi BJ, what a beautiful piece of furniture. You're right! This chest looks beautiful just as it is. No paint required. :)
Blessings,
Sandra
Hi BJ. You are right about that chest. The wood is warm and is the most perfect color. Even though I adore painted furniture I think wood tones adds a warmth to a home that cannot be matched. What a find and oh my, my what a price! You go girl!
Hugs and blessings, Susan

Love to you and a Happy Blue Monday...

Dear BJ, Your dresser and plates are beautiful. I love all of your treasures. I hope you have a wonderful blue monday :>)
Love the chest and the beauties on top of it. Everything is just gorgeous. I have to turn the volumne down when I read your blog:) It isn't that I don't like the music.. it is because I sing it ALL the live long day:) Love to all and have a blessed day!
BJ. your chest is beautiful. I would be singing about this bargain, too. And, you have it so attractively displayed.
I see you blue. I believe Sally will definitely be smiling.
Those kind of sales are few and far between! This chest of drawers is just beautiful and I would never paint it either. It adds real warmth to the room with it's beautiful color.
I hear on the happy smile a truck load, at a great price, of found treasures can bring. It is a nice wood, soft glow, on that piece.
Happy BLUE Monday to you, Candy
