Treasure Hunting

There were only 4 garage sales in town today, none had anything I was interested in.  But - my friend knew a second hand place.  I found my first piece to refinish.  It's a big secretary type cabinet thing.  It is currently painted green - not a pretty shade of green.  I plan to  remove the paint/finish from the top and stain the wood.  Then paint the rest a creamy white (the color of the trim in my house).  Next, I will replace the knobs and pulls.  Also give it a drestressted look.  I think that I may take the side door off the top half and leave the shelves open.  We will see.  The whole thing may end up off white.  Dale will need to fix a couple of broken wood pieces.  I think one broke on the ride home on the trailer.  I'm excited.  I'll gather up everything to start removing the paint from the top.  Maybe I can start next week after work.  It's sitting in my garage now, that should be a good place to work.  I also found some scrap book paper for Mollie's coat rack project.  I'm waiting for the Fleu de lis to come in.  I ordered them from Etsy on Thursday. 

We had to feed the cows and put out hay today.  Got to the farm and had a flat on the front tractor tire.  Went to the house and the power was out.  We removed the tire, put the hay bale pickup thing on another tractor, and called to have the power back on.  Dale was able to put the hay out.  It is suppose to start raining tomorrow.  I'm glad we were able to make another tractor work until the tire can be repaired on Monday.
