Vintage Thingie Thursday--Antique Dressing Table

• Who can find a virtuous woman? her price is far above rubies
• She looketh well to the ways of her household

It's been a really long time since I've linked anything to Vintage Thingie Thursday at Coloradolady! I've had this dresser for a long time, almost sixteen years, but because it's still in daily use, it tends to be just a bit--"lived with" looking. (A nice way of putting it!)

Before it passed to me, it was my grandmother's who had it as long as I can remember.... 

...and as long as my mother can remember.  

I think it's from the twenties.  Everything on is original, including the hardware and mirror. 

It's definitely seen it's fair share of wear and tear.  I use Old English scratch cover on it periodically, as you can see, I need to work it over again.

Back in the fifties, it was in a house of my grandparents that was moved from one location to another. In those days, they used to keep a glass with water in it on the dresser, to dip their comb in to comb down their little frizzies.  The house made the move, with the dresser in it, and was set up at the new location, and went they went inside, they realized the glass of water had made the move, too, and without spilling a drop!

Until next time...
