<i>We had this waterfall closet in another shop and, again, nobody seemed to take interest.

Well, since nobody was touching this one, we moved it to the Bristol shop (today's pictures are all from there). If it doesn't sell (priced at only $95 and it's in good shape), it will end up painted and returned to one of the shops. </i></div>

<i>If the wood is good on a piece, painting is a last resort for us. We hate to lose the original look on a good piece. There is a great product for wood furniture that Howard's puts out - great for putting moisture back into a neglected old piece and they have various colors of stains that will hide old scratches, etc. and make the wood look fabulous again.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> I've been down with double pneumonia and pleurisy, which hurts like heck. Thankfully, I'm back on the mend and today Hubby and I went to both shops in Johnson City, Tennessee where we have booths (Village West Antiques on West Market and Village Antiques on Sunset).</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> Our booths in the larger store (Sunset) were looking really sparse. If you have booths you know how important it is to work them regularly. It's necessary to add items, "fluff" the look, rearrange items, etc. In fact, it's essential to your survival in the business. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> During my "down time", I've been cleaning and pricing (while keeping as quiet as possible) and it was time to get that merchandise into those booths!</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> I also took time to work on some items that needed face lifts. It was nice to get them turned around and out the door. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> For example, I've had this wooden jewelry box in my pile of "face lifts to do" for well over a year. Okay, closer to three years. Hubby brought it home (he probably found it curbside) and it was dirty, white-ish and missing knobs.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i> I cleaned it, found the knobs I needed (minus two) and gave it a distressed paint job. Since I was still in need of two tiny knobs, I somehow found these two tiny porcelain roses and thought they made cute substitutes.</i></span><br />
