Half a Table


I don't remember when I found this three-legged table but it was not so long after I moved the chest of drawers from my hallway to my kitchen to support my electric oven and cooking device. And it stayed there until I sold it this morning. Most likely designed as a hallway table anyway. It was waiting for me across the street and it served me well as a place to keep mail to be looked at later or to use as a counter for sold books or other smaller items for pick-up. I would have liked to keep it. Don't you love those turning drawers? But downsizing is a bigger priority now and I have another chest of drawers to put there that will serve the same function. On top that holds my shipping materials for books. Will show later when it's in place and out of my living room. For now a huge box is there waiting for trash night. Would love to bring it to paper collection but it's too much. Sorry Nature...

The customer also wanted this basket. Dragged home years ago as well, on the back of my bike. I wanted to use it at the thrift shop as a display for my unsold leftover handmade earwarmers that I donated. But bringing it home was so clumsy that I decided to not want the same hassle to get it to the shop. Sat in my storage for years until listed early this year.

It was a bit difficult to set a pick-up date with the bidder and it took two weeks but the wait was worth it. The friendliest happy young couple showed up, apologized more than once for the delay and left with a big smile.
