LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT MY OWN YARD SALE european finished desk

She creeped into my dreams last night so first thing this morning I checked my work schedule

finding it was going to be light so away I went to rescue her from the left overs in the yard sale tent.

Some of you know we hosted a fairly good and definetly fun yard sale this past weekend,

in the RAIN!

We met lots of great ppl and some of my followers.

Leigh and George got to chat extensively about both their european trip tours.

Leigh is such a nice lady and is looking for antique wood corbels.

Does anyone local have suggestions?

Victoria and Pursie stopped in with family. I got to have a great chat and share some other

projects going on inside.

Sis and KC were a big help especially after we all attended a spa party Friday night

that ran quite late for our early Saturday morning start.

Now to the project at hand.

She was already painted white but tired and chipping exposing the cream color

painted underneath.

I spent the beautiful sunny day hand sanding all the details and belt sanding the top

down to bare wood to take the walnut stain.

New perfect hardware, and a walnut stain wash all over the body really finish this piece off.

BUT WAIT!

its not really finished till it gets a beautiful sprayed clear coat tomorrow.

UPDATE:

the finished piece with kewl drawer liners can be seen here

Digging through crates of junk covered in filth a couple of weeks ago acquired by hubby, 

this is what I found lurking in the bottom.

8 gorgeous very old ironstone platters and a lovely little bowl.  Can you believe the luck??  

I certainly couldnt.  In fact, I almost overlooked them because they were covered in so much dirt, they werent recognizable.  Its amazing what Mr. Clean Erasers can do.

I was so excited to add these to my tiny collection of ironstone.

Any of you collect ironstone?  What are your favorite pieces?
