some things in your possession which have been hidden away for years turn out to be the things that the 30-40 somethings are thrifting (shopping at flea markets and antique stores) for!! Geez, that hurts. I will admit though that the milk bottle was already an antique when I bought it at an antique store years ago. I have been checking out some design blogs and remembered that I owned some of these things and went on my own hunt around here. I used to do the country style ruffly, but rustic with lots of golden oak. Now I like clean and mostly white furniture with a little shabby chic, very practical for little boys and their grandfathers not to mention dogs! I even painted the golden oak roll top desk white last year and love it. I'm going to order a new sofa tomorrow, it will be leather that is distressed too in a light sand color to go with the beachy coastal feel I have done us up in for the summer! I realized that I had these teal fish bottles stashed away that I used to have olive oil in and a quick buzz in the dishwasher made them good as new and they fit with the beach colors and fish! Perfect and fun and no $$$$ ! Thanks for looking.
