Today was the first antique fair of the season in my town and I made there a good deal.

I found there an old wooden worktable i got for 40 euros. and it was not empty. Inside there were vintage threads etc.
Just look at the pictures!

The worktable will need some cleaning and new layer of stain, and i am sure it will just look beautiful once it is done.
It is from the fifties according to the man to whom i bought it.

Oh, by the way, is there someone whose initials are E and G? i have some marking ribbon with beautiful letters E and G for marking clothes.
If you are interested, let me know. First arrived, first served.

Beary hugs,
Sophie.

Sophie, that looks just great. What a terrific find! Like you say, a bit of cleaning and some new stain and it will look really beautiful again.

I will definately show you pictures after I have cleaned ans re-stained it.
I may wait to do it after my show though (so it will be after Easter).

Beary hugs,
