My New Island


This is one of the latest pictures of my Duchess.  I can not believe how time is flying.  Not much sewing getting done here.  I went to an estate sale last Friday with Carla and Sharon.  The prices were really high and we did not find much.  On Saturday I went antiquing with my sister and my niece.  It was a great day.  My niece is in the Army and she is getting ready to go to over seas.  I am so proud of her but of course I HATE to see her go there.   My sister lives only about an hour away and we do not get to see each other very much and we had a blast.


When we went to Warrenton in the spring we found this enamel top table.  I thought this would make the perfect island for our kitchen.  My sweet David is finally getting time to add longer legs and a shelf on the bottom of it.  I wanted to keep it as original as possible and finding super cute legs has been a chore.  


This is the end result.  Now all I have to do is paint it and clean it up.  I will show you more when I am finished.
It is time for bubbles and bed.  Hope y'all are having a great evening.

Hugs
