Pinch me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am picking this up on Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I am in love once again - it's being sold as a vanity - but I think I'll sell it as a desk
What do you think - does anyone else see what I see in this piece?
Really, it makes my heart skip a beat,


ASCP Paris Gray and Old White and..................distressed, distressed, distressed

And I'm feeling a little more positive after speaking to Caroline from Piorra Maison
where I have a few pieces ( really this is one of my favorite stores in Montreal and
she is a stocklister for ASCP,  double dose of goodness ).

On another note, it's extremely humid here this evening and attempted to paint a trunk
What a disaster - live and learn -
The paint was drying too fast so the brush left horrible marks and was "pulling" will have to let it dry
completely and sand it and start over..................
That's the problem with veering away from ASCP - seriously - this would not have happened
with Annie's paint :((((

P.S. - I am not a paid sponsor lol- although I act like I am - I just truly love this lady's paint.

Wiser?

I had wanted an antique secretary for a very long time - so when I came across this one for 250.00 and was able to talk him down to 200.00 ( delivered )  I grabbed it..................feeling so lucky - we had just moved into this place - and it fit with the victorian style of our flat


I think I painted it the next morning


and I was thrilled ( it may have been my most treasured find ) until tonight - when I was browsing
Craigs List and saw this


which is absolutely positively without a doubt an exact replica of mine - and perhaps even in better
shape.
FOR.
50.
DOLLARS.

Never again - I will not be taken advantage of.
Ever.
Again.

A light bulb has gone off - I actually heard it - something clicked in my brain - and at long last it's finally happened - I am wiser.
