The Find That Made Me Giddy


The garage sale had been open for nearly 2 hours.




As I pulled up, my heart started to pound.  Someone MUST have scooped this up.  There HAD to be a "SOLD" tag on it.




Nope.  No sold tag, and the price was sooooooooo reasonable.

I couldn't pay for it fast enough.  NOW IT'S MINE.




It has all of it's 60 drawers.  It's over 4 feet tall, nearly 2-1/2 feet wide, and a foot deep.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I'm not the giddy sort, but, I found myself giggling while the nice gentleman helped me load it.  I found myself giggling all the way home.  I'm giggling while I'm writing this.  I'm having a GIDDY attack.

Would this find make you giddy?

  21. Holy cow, Rosemary, I'm swooning just looking at your amazing find! I would've jumped out of the car so fast and just thrown my money at the guy - that's a fabulous find. No wonder you're a giggling giddy girl! I'm giddy FOR you!

    So ... whatcha gonna do with it? I foresee a whole lotta sanding in your future! 60 whole drawers worth, but it will be worth every second of your time. Aside from the writing, this piece appears to be in great condition. If it were mine, I'd refinish it completely. Sand the whole piece, including all the writing off the drawer fronts, fix any cracks or splits in the wood, and the refinish it with a nice wood stain and leave her be in all her glory. That's coming from a girl that paints almost everything.

    Can't wait to hear your plans!

    Best,

    Kimberly

  24. Hi Rosemary!!!

    What a great find!!!

    I was getting giddy just looking at it and what I would use it for. I did exactly what you did once and a lady came up from behind who had been at the garage sale earlier and decided to come back and buy the item. Well, I had just paid for it, so, it was mine. She was not a happy camper about it.

    I'm glad that you have your new item and I know it's going to be so useful for you!!

    Have a great weekend!!
