OK, so I bought this from these pics. I didn't go and look first, just bought.   To be fair, JWS encouraged me. The man who can see no potential in houses or junk furniture, was excited. I tried to harness his enthusiasm, and for awhile I did, but it waned as soon as I got in it to drive it home. What was I thinking? I mean, the back of my shop t-shirts say For the Love of Junk. Reuse - Repurpose - Reimagine I was not feeling the love here.     I like all the retro look. I like the low mileage, I even like the old shape of it. But this?  I did not like.     So I ripped and tore and scraped and sweated and hurt my knees and choked from the cleaner and scraped some more. Then I scrubbed and together we patched and painted.

Now really, it has not been bad other than I have not finished what I wanted to this weekend, but I had fun. Two sleepovers with grandchildren and time with JWS and a few projects completed and rest. All in all a good weekend.   I got up, I made a list and I was going to salvage the weekend and be productive.       I have my coffee and I mix up some antiquing and start.   It is 6:45.   Now at some point during the day we are to go and empty one of my antique booths and JWS has agreed to help. (I really think he did so that I would not take his truck alone)   7:00AM Hands stained, unshowered, I hear, "I am ready, let's go!"   7:30 ...
