Nothing like this over there?? Did they miss the art deco period or something? I see stuff like this all the time around here, but usually in the more common colors like yellow or white or the yucky browns. Not very often to see turquoise blue! I've been told that red was hard to find, and yet I have 2 and my mom has a red one also. Go figure!<BR/>Believe it or not, those kinds of tables don't do very well on ebay. I see them going for cheap! Too cheap!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-81650654876622606562008-05-10T23:54:00.000-04:002008-05-10T23:54:00.000-04:00Coffee-- If money was no object, I would have got...Coffee-- If money was no object, I would have gotten the set, but as it is, we can't be spending our money on stuff we don't need. I was afraid to ask the price, because if it had been low enough, I would have gotten it. I'm still thinking about it and am staying away from the flea market for awhile!! <BR/><BR/>Lantana-- I do love those sets! My mom has a set from her mother that was supposed to come down to me. It was my Grandmother's very first BRAND NEW piece of furniture she ever bought after my Grandfather died. I never imagined that we would have gotten my husband's grandmother's table and then 3 more along the way. I need to part with a couple but sometimes that's hard to do!! Good luck with the kitchen re-do. I'll come and help dust when it's over! :o)jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-19613073243596366872008-05-10T23:50:00.000-04:002008-05-10T23:50:00.000-04:00Lantana-- Aww, you're so sweet to say that!

I know I am marching to the beat of my own drummer, and I am perfectly happy to do so!<BR/><BR/>I do sell lots on ebay, but nothing big like tables or furniture.<BR/><BR/>Verde-- Welcome!! I love seeing new readers! I don't go to auctions much (though there are thousands here in the country) because I cannot hear the auctioneer. No babysitters nearby to leave the kids and take the hearing hubby, so we try our luck mostly at yard sales and thrift shops. Lots of good yard sales up here!!jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772053505930801670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-14491491969129869062008-05-10T11:10:00.000-04:002008-05-10T11:10:00.000-04:00I love the old fifties stuff - used to have some b...I love the old fifties stuff - used to have some back in Canada but you don't get it over here... you are insatiable, I have to say!

I recall that mine was grey Formica on top with pearl grey seats, not SHINEY grey, but a dull grey like cloth and the legs were "Duncan Phyfe" (Spelling?????). Turquoise was and still is one of my favorite decorating colors! I am lucky because I live at the beach and that color fits right in. Our bedroom is turquoise and peach and off white! Mountain Mama, you have the best blog of all for women, we all really enjoy you! Right now we are having our kitchen cupboards "refaced". WHAT A MESS. But it is going to look so much better and alot cheaper than a kitchen full of brand new wooden cabinets!

I actually grew up in the era (well, the 60s) when everyone had one of those sets in their kitchens. They've aged well, haven't they. Can't say the same for myself though.wakeupandsmellthecoffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04602735058278146250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-23382866525710827182008-05-07T10:17:00.000-04:002008-05-07T10:17:00.000-04:00Just stopping by to say Hi.

I agree with lantana in that there could be a profit had in turning some of that stuff around.<BR/><BR/>I've never been to an auction but I know that's how my parent's furnished their house when they were married 56 years ago, and they still have very nice things.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06717388726735528462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6471031006553442541.post-1501043140483008702008-05-07T00:05:00.000-04:002008-05-07T00:05:00.000-04:00You are soooo refreshing in this day and age when ...You are soooo refreshing in this day and age when most want to COMPETE AND BE BETTER THAN THE JONES!<BR/><BR/>I think your merchandise will do well on eBay.
