Chippy, Crazing and Roses

On Tuesday, I helped my friend, Kim, of Sweet Sage Vintage

get some shelves from her storage and into Merchant Square,

where she is a dealer. It was fun playing around in the mall again.

I miss having a booth but I will live through her while I am in AZ!

Anyway, of course it cost me a few pennies. I found a couple of 

treasures I could not leave at the mall. This sweet, chippy, child's desk

is one of them. 

Just look at the chippiness.

 You can't really and

truly fake this. Kim and I are wondering

what caused the stripes. Kim's idea was maybe

the desk top had been closed shut with tape.

Sweet decals on the edging of the back.

A view of the inside, with the lid lifted.

As you can see, I haven't even taken off

the ribbon which held the tag.

One last look at this sweet, sweet piece.

 This is the second treasure I found...

Something with decals is just speaking to me lately.

I see another ribbon not removed!

 A close up of the decal...

It is on both sides of the magazine rack.

This beauty was found at a Flea Market type event

that Kim wanted to check out.

I have never heard of this company...

Just look at all the glorious crazing..

Love it!

It is all over the piece.

I see another theme in what is speaking to me lately...
