Born in the USA

I've seen it over and over again....

the Union Jack flag on furniture and pillows,

and it looks wonderful,

however, I go a different direction.

Anyone that knows me realizes how pro America I am....

nothing from China, all local produce, and repurposed

to the point of driving my family crazy sometimes.

I did this particular style of furniture 12 years ago

when I was in an antique mall.

It did quite well, then 911 came along,

and I lost interest in making money on people's emotions,

as everyone was buying anything with a flag.

I had to bring it back, even if just for this one time.

The little antique chest is over 100 years old and

a product of the USA.

After being painted white, it was taped and painted,

then glazed to give it back some age.

I really like how the paint on top took the glaze

differently in places making it more interesting.

It looks good all dressed up in more

Americana and primitives.

Who says I'm all about laces and whites....

it's just not so :)

Thanks for stopping by today,

You know I love it when you come.
