"Princess Peach"

I'm always thrilled when one of my good friends, let alone family members calls to tell me about an awesome piece of furniture that they've found.  Sometimes these beauties are found at Goodwill.  Other times, they can be found at an auction or yard sale, or occassionally, by the side of the road.  It is said that "Another man's trash is another man's treasure," and in that spirit, I give you my latest find...."Princess Peach." 
My wonderful sister called me the other day after spotting this jewel by the side of the road.  In my mind, I couldn't possibly bring home another "stray" without my sweet, giving, kind, fabulous, etc., etc. husband killing me!  I had every intention of driving right past the piece when I went out that evening.  However, like a scene out of a Super Mario Brothers game, "Princess Peach" called out for me to rescue her.  I instantly pulled in the driveway next to the road and began quickly dragging the piece back to my car....in my tube-top dress, nonetheless.  (Hey, remember, I had no intention of even looking twice at the piece, especially getting out of the car).  Luckily for me, a kind man from the home saw me struggling with Peach and came out just in time to help me load her in the car.  Now, I'm the happy owner of this beauty....
"Princess Peach" is going to be beyond beautiful and I can't wait to start on her!   :)
