It Has Arrived!!

In January, I purchased this beautiful buffet/sideboard via my Aunt Susie's cell phone. She had mentioned to me that she had been to an antique show in her home town, and that they had some pretty pieces.

So, I guess I should take you back a year or so when I first purchased my house. I knew from the very beginning that I wanted an antique buffet for this particular wall in the dining room. Until January I never found anything that I liked, much less loved.

OK, so lets move forward or should I say back to January. During my conversation with my aunt I said, I wish that I could have gone to the antique show with her. She said that she would be happy to go back the next day, and that she would just e-mail me pictures for me to choose from. Isn't she such a nice aunt??? From the several pieces, which were all very pretty, I decided on this one:










My aunt & uncle live a couple of hundred miles away, and today was the day they came to deliver me the buffet. I was so excited, and the anticipation of its arrival was driving me crazy!! Boy, was it worth it, it is so, so pretty. And, it matches my table perfectly!!

Thank you sooooo much Susie & David for all of the efforts you put into getting me this buffet, I love it !!!!

What do you all think about it???

PS...Let me see a picture if you put the rooster lamp on your fridge. I love having one on top of ours. It's on 24/7 with an energy bulb in it.
