Buffet Bound

Deb and I went on a road trip today. We headed to Huntsville to an auction in search of a particular antique buffet. We detoured our route so that we could eat lunch at Shannon's in Salisbury. You can have your 5 star restaurants~ we'll take Shannon's. It's an old tiny converted gas station with the best diner food you can imagine. Roast beef, real potatoes, green beans, and home made pies and cakes and country food. And it's about the friendliest place on earth. But who wouldn't be happy partaking in such amazing food. All the country folk come to enjoy each others company as well as the food. And they are more than willing to let two silly city gals join in the fun.
We are also big fans of Iman Auction of Salisbury where we spent many a Saturday afternoon with our grandma's. So when Deb saw a lovely buffet to remind her of the one that Granny had in their sale bill we were off. About 150 people had the same idea.

She had me go convertly take a picture of the buffet in question. Just in case that it went home with someone else. Beautiful piece of furnature.


Now we just had to wait for it to come up for bid. It was a beautiful warm spring day. (so warm in fact I'm sunburned on my arms and my neck) Just how much Christmas stuff did this family have anyway? By the way the chair that Deb is sitting in went for just $75.

And she nabbed the buffet for $225. And miracle of all miracles this buffet is just about the exact dimensions of Deb's Saturn View. This is Debbie's happy face.
