Sometimes I Shouldn't Listen To Myself

I have often passed by a little Thrift Shop just up the road.  I'll think to myself,
"I should check it out"....but for some reason I tell myself, "na.....there's probably nothing good, just baby stuff".
I noticed a 50% sale as I passed by this weekend, but myself said...."don't even waste your time."
This morning I was passing by and saw an old table sitting outside.  Well this time I didn't listen to myself and stopped.  Oh my.....it's an old farm table (heart is going pitter patter).
Door is locked....nobody's there....PANIC!
Walked around to flower shop on other side....she gave me a number to call, which I immediately did and left a message.
I reluctantly drove home, leaving 'my table' behind.
When I get home, my phone rang....
"Yes" the table is for sale, it's $25....you can pick it up and leave cash with flower lady".
I couldn't move fast enough (well, actually, I sent my son).
"Thank You Lord"....I'm a happy gal!
Now to learn when to listen to myself.....
 Old white paint.....pegged legs!
 2 Board Top!
It was also a good weekend...here's a few of my 'finds'.
Old concrete sink with stand....I'm pretty sure Michael's face turned blue when he picked this one up!

Old wire newstand rack (needs a little cleanin' up)
 Wouldn't this look great with a concrete top?
So that's my 'Show and Tell' for today.....I just need to get busy!
Blessings,
Susie

    My goodness! How is that I don't ever wonder upon those kinds of finds... I know, I listen to myself. Na, they probably don't have anything... I guess I have to stop to actually find the finds! :) great stuff!!!

    Susie- What great finds. Are you sure that is a concrete sink? We had one like that in the basement of one of our houses and it was soapstone! You did good, girl! xo Diana
