Yes we all spend so many hours sharing - posting and working on our blogs that we all need to earn something for all our time.<br />I hope each time I visit - I click so you can pay for more finds to inspire many to return for the love of your blog and your home.<br />pvepve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-24626846054625449032012-02-05T22:45:08.805-05:002012-02-05T22:45:08.805-05:00WOW - that is an incredible coffee table!WOW - that is an incredible coffee table!Just Spiff Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17907245389820793988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-69626902607416049972012-02-04T15:36:41.309-05:002012-02-04T15:36:41.309-05:00Congratulations on finding the most fabulous table...Congratulations on finding the most fabulous table. It is exciting to find "The One." I can hardly drive past an antique shop without just popping in, in the off chance that the perfect piece might be sitting right there just WAITING for me. I agree with your concern about advertising, but I think blogs have become so good they aren't just yammering journals, they are like mini-magazines. They eat so many hours of time, unless we are independently wealthy, at some point there has to be some compensation. We don't get offended that House Beautiful accepts advertising AND our subscription fee. It is hard though. I choose sponsors very carefully and always hope people will click through, so they know it is worth while to keep sponsoring bloggers.

I think it's our American version of a low-slung coffee/cocktail table that is the "new" concept. I probably should have said that " antique tables to be used as coffee tables are difficult to find"; sorry for the confusion. The table stands 20".for the love of a househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151787635612708698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6005324767450032096.post-88425803341652703202012-02-03T09:07:46.560-05:002012-02-03T09:07:46.560-05:00Hi Joan, Love your home and your blog.

Old "coffee tables" are so hard to find because they are a relatively new concept. You really hit the jackpot with this one. Thanks for sharing.

Boy, do I know what you mean by it being "next to impossible" finding an antique coffee table! I've been searching for months and have not found one yet that has the right scale and look. This weekend I'm going antiquing and flea-marketing with a friend and I have HIGH HOPES of finding one.
