The One That Got Away

I got to the auction late today 
(thanks to my husband - the dawdler) 
and this is what I missed:  

I'm in mourning because it was love at first sight.


You can't tell in the photo but the paint was the most perfect shade of vintage faded blue you've ever seen.
The color of the sky on a summer day! 

It had 32 drawers!   

(The two missing drawers didn't phase me.   I would have moved two of the top drawers to the empty spaces and replaced them with cool baskets.)

I will never find another one exactly like it!
It was fabulous!


I even tracked down the dealer who bought it thinking I'd buy it from him because I fell for it hard!   
Sadly, he had already sold it to another dealer who had no interest in re-selling it.


All I could do was walk away.
But not without turning around to glimpse it one more time....


Sigh.....
