About Angelina's Legs

Angelina Jolie's legs don't have anything over on this little lady.

Actually, this Little Angelina's got 4 great legs.

I found her at a garage sale.  As I mentioned before, 

I frequently under estimate how long

 projects will take me to finish.  

Well, there's also the raccoon effect. 

That's when the next shiny object (interesting project) 

totally distracts me from what I've already started

Hence, there are a several UFO's at my house.

These flaws in my focus resulted in Little Angelina

spending several months in my driveway.  

Sometimes covered, at others let's just say, 

she was working on her patina!  

Having endured most of the summer & fall outside,

she came in this winter and received a thorough 'massage'.  

She was cleaned & hinges oiled.  I didn't repaint her.  

Her bluey-green chips revealed a previous brick red coating 

 I liked the combo 

so I stopped sanding once the loose bits were lifted 

 and she was pretty smooth. 

 Then I finished her up with a hand rubbed wax finish 

to maintain her well deserved patina.

All her little parts fold and lock nicely and

 her lovely long legs are still straight and firmly in place.  

 She's a lovely little drop leaf table. 

Vintage or Shabby, whatever you wish to call it, she's chippy. 

And now she's gone to the shop.  

I told you I would explain a little more about Angelina's legs!

Hmmm, who shall we talk about next?
