More on the Table

Dear Cheryl-Anne:
Unbelievable! I saw the picture in the Review and just had to e-mail you. I have the matching sideboard/buffet! I picked it up at a garage sale a couple of years ago out here in the valley. I am going to sell it soon. It won't be $6.95, but it will be considerably less than in an antique store! -- June Hart
P.S. And this one is already smoke-free.

Answer: Thanks, June. Unfortunately, I've already got a sideboard and no room to store another one. But for $6.99 I'd be willing to think about it...

Dear Cheryl-Anne:
I have a table very similar to the one shown in the paper (handed down from my great aunt). I also have a matching side board. I saw this exact table at Custers Antique Sale a few years back and they were asking $1,500 for the table alone. So $6.95 was a GREAT bargain. Where is the thrift store you visit?

Answer: My table isn't in $1,500 condition, but I felt pretty confident that I was on to a good thing. I'm planning to publish a list of my favorite Treasure Hunting haunts in the column soon, but it's important to remember that a good deal can pop up anywhere.
