Auction Part II, and Wives Tales


We went to another auction last weekend. And we scored this kitchen/dining room table and the cabinet/desk thing in the background. I'm pretty excited about it and think they really make much better use of our small space. It is such a relief to have a shelf for a book!

The cabinet got some scratches in the moving process (though Larry and Ann surprised us by bringing us our furniture yesterday in a U-Haul! Wasn't that nice!) Ann mentioned that she heard you could rub a walnut on scratches and the oils would fill them in. Old wive's tale? Maybe, but I'll tell you, it works! I recommend it!

Yeah. I know how it feels to get all excited about furnishing your new home. I just recently moved into a furnished apartment so it's a little different but Pascal and I did bring some of our own things into the mix. The apartment is furnished with pieces from a chateau belonging to the owner of the house, so it's pretty nice. Now we have to maintain these priceless antiques and I think I may get a few chances to try out that walnut trick. It's a great spot and I wish I could have all my faraway friends over for brunch. Maybe someday...
