Yes, there is a new girl in town.......or should I say at my house ;) I'm a single mom, living with sons, all of them 300% boy!! It gets a little much with all the testosterone running rampant at my house! Even the cat is a male! I have, however, managed to carve out some "girly" space in my house that is just for me! So....you can imagine how happy I was to find this sweet gal......who was willing to brave the male.ness at my house and come home with me.
I didn't even have to pay her that much to agree to come home with me, considering her previous home was at a warehouse. She's not a young gal, she's been around for a little while. I wouldn't call her antique....she's like me....vintage.
The best part..... she loves all the things I love.....She was already looking through my stash of lace, old linens, vintage aprons.....She didn't have much when I met her....you could say she was in her birthday suit!
Here she is....my new roomie.......
I haven't decided which room will be her's, but I'll be sure to share when she has settled in ;)Until later,
Toni ♥
Great find!
ReplyDeleteWell, how cool is that? She looks like she's in great shape, too.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted one of these forever.
She looks like a perfect roomie for you. Can't wait to see how she dresses herself up.

ReplyDeleteHi Toni,
ReplyDeleteLove the new find....I seriously thought it was going to be a cat also.
Yes that is a covered bridge. I apologize for the silly picture and no story with it. I was uploading pictures for my next post and somehow I published only one of them. I have the full story up now and more pics.
Thanks for stopping by,

Hi Toni-
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I have one similiar that is just the body portion and not on a stand. As a jewlery designer I had planned to use her to display jewelry, which didn't work as the jewelry would get stuck between the wire holes. Thus, last week I wove ripped material through her holes and now she's perfect for my business use. :) I plan to do a tutorial on my site in the future about her, so check back and see it when I get it up.
Enjoy your new girlie roommate. ;)

P.S. Since you're the only lady of the house, you still are the queen. So fitting that you won the give away I donated to Junk Bonanza Blog.
She is quite a beauty! Looks like she doesn't eat much either! Toni, you are going to have fun having her around the house! What is her name?
