I'm going to a small workshop myself in a few weeks and maybe she will have some of the gilding wax to show us.

A privately owned one and all the furniture in there should have been thrown away. Everything was filthy and most of it broken and so worn...it was disgusting. <br /><br />I have yet to find a good thrift store here. I used to go to one in Georgia that I always found good things at. But thrift stores really are not very good around here.Nita Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833196166679983378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-24654550440215428382012-07-28T21:48:04.989-04:002012-07-28T21:48:04.989-04:00Kingsley is too cute!
