Vintage Finds
The kids and I hit up an antique store looking for a couple of items that can double as furniture for their rooms and photo props when I need one. The first find was this darling little table and chair set that I have put in my son's room:
I have ideas on how I can use this for our Christmas pictures. And my guess is it's from like the 40's maybe.
Then in the same booth (it was an Antique Mall) I happened upon this 2-drawer coffee table:
Honestly...it seems too tall for a coffee table, but at the same time too short to be something else. I was originally wanting a trunk or some sort of sweater chest for the foot of her bed, but when I saw this I was hooked. I had planned on using the chest for storage for her dolls. She has a TON! But, when I saw this I knew I wanted it for her little doll house. She's having a blast setting everything up.
Both were VERY reasonable priced and were marked as the final price. But, I asked if they would call the vendor and see if they would reduce it because I was purchasing two large items. They called, and while they said it sounded like it pained the dealer...she gave me 10% off of everything!!! I was so pleased, and I didn't have to be pushy. See! It never hurts to ask. And that lady made a loyal customer today. I'll be sure to check out her booth again and again.
