Checkers Table
Y'all, I work for the best people. My job is a small job, and I call it play because I so enjoy doing it. I merchandise/decorate for an antique place (The Antique Barn in Gallatin Gateway, MT) and I only work a few hours a week.

It reminds me of the checkers table that my grandparents had in their upstairs hallway landing in their old farmhouse.
Today, when I went to work and conducted my customary "walkabout", where I walk around the store and see what needs cleaning up, I found a sold, pick-up Monday sign on the table. I was sad until I also saw a card with my name on it taped to the table. My bosses bought the table for me!! I am so touched--it is good to be appreciated, isn't it?
The table is perfect sitting here on my gallery wall.
I know, I need one more row of checkers to play--it is missing two black ones, but I have a couple old ones to replace the missing one with.
I love that it is handmade, the different colors of wood on the top, the checker pieces, and the crackle on the board.
I will probably sand, rough up the legs some--I think the dealer painted/added these. But, I love it--love the memories of my grandparents' home, love the sweet gesture of my great employers!
