A Roadside Rescue

Thought I'd share with you what was rescued from the roadside.

This was sitting all forlorn.


Not for long.

It only needed a scrub down with hot soapy water,a little glass cleaner and

SHAZAM!!!


A gorgeous Queen Anne dressing table.

A few accessories and I'm a HAPPY girl..



Another successful rescue mission..

  1. Wow Tara! I can almost picture the car coming to a screeching halt once you'd spied this lovely on the kerb, you jumping out & the dressing table being bundled into the car at top speed. Sort of like a scene from a Leonardo diC. espionage movie! Mission accomplished.

  17. Oh my good goodness you found this beauty by the roadside? What was the person that threw it out thinking????

    It's amazing(ly good), living in a city, how many people throw things out on the curbside and just leave it - either moving house or moving overseas. Great for people like us though! Great find :-)
