Ok I too am a bargain shopper and love to shop the sale racks. This past week however I scored on a table at an Estate sale. It was dirty and covered with books down stairs in a covered porch area. Others just passed it by. My Hubby has a good eye and liked the shape of it, called me over for opinion I too liked the shape. Well he turned it over to look on the bottom and yeeha an original tag from the manufacturer. Haywood Wakefield…made sometime before 1939 and in fabulous condition. We are still researching this piece but I can tell you it is way more than the $5.00 we paid for it. I am guessing with the experience I do have it will be somewhere in the $500.00 range, possibly more because in all the books and on line I cannot find one with the same legs, a friend who sold this style furniture years ago in California tells me he has never seen one like this. I need the roadshow to be in my area again. Any Haywood Wakefield experts out there that can help me???

My mind is so blown by seeing your 6% sales tax that I can’t even think of anything else. Ours is 9.25%. And we also don’t have Belk. Don’t you love it when they pay you to shop?

Best bargain ever was a Jones NY dress that was original priced at $89 and I got it for $7.98. It was so cute my mother got it too although I made her promise to NEVER EVER wear it at the same function I did. It’s still one of my “go to” spring/summer dresses.
