When I closed my Colorado shop
back in 2015 I had some designer
Costume jewelry left and I have been
looking for something I could put it in
that could have a lock on to sell it
at my Midway Antique Mall booth.

Recently at an auction I saw this old
1950's style china - ugly and weird but
with promise! (it was $ cheap) Sorry
I didn't get an earlier photo
before Keith removed the legs
I didn't get an earlier photo
before Keith removed the legs
and started painting it shabby chic.
The legs were very short so it wasn't
very tall.

very tall.
As you can see, he sat it on top
and secured it to a little table with
sturdy legs. It was very low to the
floor before. The actual case is
narrow with 2 glass sliding doors
on the front and 5 glass shelves.

Do you have time to read my funny story?
My story goes like this: while we were at this auction my husband got called into his part time "work" (he drives and picks up cars for a dealership and is one of those courtesy drivers like you've seen retirees do) I really wanted this piece so I took him to work and went back just in time to get it. But how was I going to load it all by myself with a bad knee? I just had to do it that's how! I got a dolly and loaded it as it was not heavy. Right as I was figuring out how to get it in my car along came this "cowboy rough type" who is loud and aggressive. He demanded that he help me and jumped up in our Honda to pull it in. Of course the 2 glass front doors fell all the way into the case - of course they did! Oh brother! But the miracle was that they did not break - can you imagine? An experience I shall never forget!
A few more photos:
So if you are traveling between St. Louis
and Kansas City on I-70 - stop at
Midway and check out my booth
which has Sweet Romance, Kenny Ma
and
and
Michal Negrin costume jewelry.
Too funny! I'd like to have seen his face when the doors fell in! Bet he was relieved they didn't break.
