'Criteria'... when it comes to Old... Old, Soulful Cupboards.

Oh my... Still Stuck in The Gazebo.

; )

It was Full of Leaves, and much, much... more.

oh my.

; )

The Old... Cupboard, above... has lived here, for decades.

: )

He's a Work Horse.

<3

He was pretty forlorn back then... when I dragged him Home.

 {to most}

: )

He was Loaded Full... last week.... took everything out, washed it all... and, The Work Horse.

: )

Started re-setting him... today.

Not my usual re-set. 

No time.

: (

As I swept, 'raked'.... The Gazebo, 

{been closed for far too long.}

had to smile.

: )

I thought of a Girl... who called me long, long... ago, wanting to sell an Old Cupboard.

She told me, she'd visited with a Friend, from Southern Iowa... who buys old cupboard's, and restores them...

{He was an Amazing... Antique Restoration Expert. 'Artist'. ; ) }

He, referred the Girl... to me, concerning her cupboard.

: )

She told me... he said, "Call Barb Conner... her only criteria concerning 'Old Cupboard's'...

is, 

"Do They Stand?"

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!

<3

I thought about it for a minute... when she shared that 'comment', with me.

"Hey!!!!! ????"

I...was kinda, a little... insulted.

then...

 thought... another minute.

: )

My Friend... was wrong.

 Way...

Wrong!!!

; )

Told the Girl...

"If It's The 'Right' Cupboard, 'Soulful'... 'As Found'... 'Farm Fresh'...

 : ) 

Who gives a shit if it 'Stands'??

: ) : ) : ) 

That's what Shims, and Block's of Wood are For. : ) "

<3

{This post will make sense, a little later. : ) 

'The 'Key' Cupboard'...

; )

Me.... and Janice.... 

understand.

 oh my.

<3

You'll see. : ) }

I So Miss Peg, for so many reasons... but, she always carried a 'Cattle Prod'... 

in Peg's Way....

at 'Sale Time'.

<3

: )

I... tend to get lost... in the 'Soulfulness'.

<3

I.. kinda 'melt' into it.

<3

I could sit... and go through this Old Soulfulness... forever.

Peg, on the other hand... : )

She Cracked The Whip.

<3 <3 <3 

Git'er Done!!! 

; )

<3

Peg...

She Whipped through The Gazebo, in No Time. 

<3 <3 <3 

: )

<3

<3

<3

Ran across this old wrench, today...in The Gazebo.

: )

It was buried.

I knew if it was inside The Gazebo... there must be something 'Important' about it.

Gave it a bath... too.

; )

Thought of Farmer Friends, Lynn...and Lea.

; )

then, thought...

They probably have a Bunch of These... Vintage... 'Deere' Tools.

May... have shown it to them.. before.

but...

have to run it past them... before it goes on The Memorial Day Weekend Sale.

<3

'Family'.

; )

What a Slow Go.

: )

Love... this Old 'Sh!t'.

; )

<3

'Soulfulness'

; )

Love to Ya...

Prayers, for All.
