On a whim regular, I popped in my favorite antique shop to visit my girls. They all know me as (the give me an extra off, lady) My motto is “a closed mouth doesn’t get fed!” This shop is two stories filled with yum! I have to make two trips through the entire shop just to make sure I don’t miss a bargain. Today was my day when the stars and moon were in sync.

This convertible English serving cart was singing from the corner “come closer and check me out, I’m your next score.”

I couldn’t believe my luck. I spotted a similar table while I was at the Round Top Antique’s Fair back in the spring. I was smitten with the craftsmanship of it’s ability to convert from a serving cart to a table with just the pull of a knob but when I eyed the price tag I knew smitten was the only emotion this table would get from me at $400 bucks. This was waayy out of my frugal budget…and then here I am standing in front of a replica smitten cart for $125.

For just a split second, I thought about removing the objects off the shelves with a clean swipe of my hand, grabbing the table and proceeding to the cashier and then I some how got control of myself and my bargain brain kicked in. I asked the dealer if she would take $100 for the table and Drumroll, She said YES!

I knew I would place the table in my entry. Isn’t she a doll? I’ve been playing dress up with her every day with thrift finds from my in home shop. Smile.
