Table & Chair - The Gossipy Kind

"Now, we're not ones to go 'round spreadin' rumors,

Why, really we're just not the gossipy kind,

No, you'll never hear one of us repeating gossip,

So you'd better be sure and listen close the first time!"

Watching Hee Haw on a Saturday night

was as much a childhood ritual for me,

 as going to church on Sunday morning,

or school the five days following!

Perched in front of the TV in our living room,

{the only one in the house},

I grew up singing the lyrics above,

right along with Misty Rowe, and the other Gossip Girls.

When I found the little gossip table at the auction last weekend

{more politely called a telephone table},

those lyrics came to mind, and I've been singing them ever since!

If that little table could talk,

can you just imagine the tales {gossip & rumors}, it could tell?!?

Especially if it was privy to a party line..

oh my...

Many previous generations would probably be blushing!

The chair was a Habitat for Humanity Restore purchase,

brought home in really rough shape!

{Didn't get a "before" shot}

With many rickety limbs,

it spent a day in traction while wood glue dried, 

before being painted AS Old White, and distressed.

New fabric upholstery and a matching pillow

were made from a pale green botanical printed linen.

The chair and table make a pretty good pair, don't they?

Maybe they knew each other in a previous decade! ;)

These two pieces went to my booth at Lou's,

where we will be having an Open House

celebrating the upcoming Christmas Season

on Thursday evening, November 15th ~ 5-8 p.m.

If you live in the Wilmington area,

Join us for Food, Drinks, and Prizes! 

...and lots of shopping!
