SO.
Today it’s damp + cold, our furnace is roaring + I’m sportin’ a cardigan.
I am not amused, but let’s think summer anyway, shall we?
First up:
for alfresco dining at the Dutch colonial,
I want this from World Market:
It’s a replica of an old German beer garden/hall table.
Red = perfect!
It’s collapsible, too,
which means easy winter storage!
The table is $229.99, + each bench costs $139.95.
Keep those prices in mind.

First, let’s take a look-see at couple of vintage beer garden/hall tables:

Don’t you love the way it’s so slim?
One could put this in one’s small space — no problem!

Meanwhile, here’s another:
Three Potato Four
$425 No longer available
Um. Check out the price of the old versus the new knock-off.
$425 for the vintage set
Approximately $510 (before shipping!) for the knock-off!
I could write an entire post about buying vintage instead of reproductions.
Stay tuned for that.
