This French antique armoire has a story.
It stood for many lonely months in a corner of the antique mall I featured in my last blog post.
It first caught my eye during one of my many shopping trips, but I knew I couldn't afford to purchase it. Each time I paid a visit I imagined it in my living room.
The price was reduced the third time I visited, so I had high hopes. The night before my birthday I prayed that the price would be reduced again (I know, quite the selfish prayer!)
WELL, the next day (my birthday) I visited my favorite armoire with my husband (I lovingly call him The Bank.)
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price had been REDUCED AGAIN!
Well, I knew my prayer was answered, the timing was right, it was meant to be. . . . . all the things I tell myself when I want something VERY BADLY!
The armoire now stores my Rachel Ashwell linen "collection," shabby fabrics, cushions, and some
cutepinkstuff inventory.
I'm so grateful to have a piece of furniture I truly LOVE!
Be sure to visit the antique mall previously posted if you are in the Agoura Hills, CA area.
Who knows, you may also find that one treasure you absolutely adore!

That is just WONDERFUL! Happy Birthday..I think you got a VERY nice gift. One day I will go there. Having a big family sometimes trips like that for me need to be planned. Wendy
I'm not quite sure there is a word spectacular enough to describe your armoire. I need a bib, I'm drooling soooo much. It is Beautiful. What a wonderful birthday present and such a wonderful husband, too. Happy Birthday!
