It's Beginning to Come Together

Please ignore the ugly A/C unit and the gnarly wires

I love thrifting and I love Craigslist! And yesterday it paid off in full! We had spied this table and chair set months ago, but couldn't justify the price. To be honest, they were asking a very fair price from the beginning, yet we just didn't have it in the budget.

I couldn't let it go. I constantly checked to see if it had sold, and after a couple of weeks they had lowered the price.....but not enough. *whimper* We tried to justify it. We couldn't. I had to accept that it wouldn't be ours.

Yet, persistence paid off. Yesterday, I noticed that the price had been reduced yet again....and within our budget!! I begged the Man to get on the phone, as I have a phobia of talking on the phone. In a half an hour we were there packing it up into Goldie (the loving name giving to his gold convertible). The old Italian (?) man got a kick out of that, and waved us off with a cigarette in hand.

There are no marks or tags, and I am hesitant to say exactly what era it's from. It works for us, though. We are so happy that it's black and white, which means it can go with any color that we paint the kitchen. All we need now is a chrome napkin dispenser, or a table top jukebox!
