Every New Years Eve I wonder
about the people who stand freezing in Times Square to watch the ball
drop. This is something I don’t
understand.
Similarly, I don’t
understand why people would cut short their Thanksgiving day to rush into
stores to go shopping. I watch the
brawls on TV, and question the sanity of people.
I am on a shopping
moratorium. While I would love to re-do
my entire apartment (well, actually I would love to move to a new, bigger
apartment and then decorate it from scratch), that is not about to happen.
So today, I shop in
someone’s apartment. They are re-doing their
entire, already-gorgeous apartment and have asked me if there is anything I might want. There
is.
For years, I have envied their beautiful coffee table. I have
one I like just fine —
but theirs is more
interesting, and bigger (54 by 36 versus my 48 by 30, and two inches
taller). It is in pristine condition,
with a planked top that has a beautiful sheen.
The table is more country than modern, but I think it will blend well in my living room. I am going to take it.
It’s a stunning piece; I need a change; and the price is right. Besides, it's the biggest shopping day of the year; I need to do something!
I am enjoying your posts!
