We made an exception to that with an old mirror found in a trash heap that we painted white to hang over the fireplace mantel (also had been trashed and WASN'T solid wood). Once again, an informative tour and a pleasure to benefit from your opinions and observations :)Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525384231822327550.post-76876101425133246202011-01-03T11:39:33.881-05:002011-01-03T11:39:33.881-05:00You have been very busy tweaking and adding to you...You have been very busy tweaking and adding to your blog, Gina.<br /><br />The Ron Tranmer poem is heart-rendingly beautiful. My own heart goes out to you all.<br /><br />Your four "love-bugs" looked so happy together on the day you'd snapped their picture. What a priceless memory. Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />The latest installment of your recent trip to the Sleepy Poets Antique Mall, has been as much fun as the first and I'm almost starting to anticipate what's going to trigger your "rants!" Let's see what happens with the final installment ;)<br /><br />You bring so much of yourself to each post, Gina!

Very interesting to learn about the way to discover if something is machine printed by the clarity of the edge, wouldn't have thought about that! Do you ever come across any old paste jewellery?<br />Hope your Christmas went ok, thought of you and your family a lot.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255717931620460104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2525384231822327550.post-45798790715653304702011-01-03T10:26:28.436-05:002011-01-03T10:26:28.436-05:00I so agree with you about painted furniture.

It had been left in a damp basement and looked terrible. I know my daughter-in-law would have painted it. But I splurged and had it refinished and it is GORGEOUS. Such beautiful wood. Same with an old upright piano I bought for $100 - beautiful wood under all that black varnish. Thanks for sharing all of your great professional tips!Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949235207762990894noreply@blogger.com
