i wonder what my aunt did with the patonish table from the cottage. next time they wanna sell something, think craig's list.

I need another side table about as much as I need another chair. Which is to say, not at all! ;0

But man, if I were living in LA, I don't know that I could resist the charms of that first table or the happy little yellow cutie! I've said it before, Susie, you are the craigslist queen!
