Haywood-Wakefield Model 188 bedside table.
We found this a number of years a go for $9.98 at local Goodwill. Pretty scratched and scuffed and scrawled on. Trapped in a storage trailer for LONG time!
BUT - I am now retired and have some time - taken to my furniture fixit guy - hoping for a turnaround in 30-45 days, and we can use it for its intended purpose.

Don't step on another persons dreams because at that moment they are in use. The only footprints you should leave in their lives are the ones when you stand beside them and help them to weather the storms life throws their way.~Bryant

Table grapes? Not this year, and please don't write in about blister mites. Mites are the least of my worries right now.
This is an old black muscat, and had started Spring with the vigour of a much younger vine.
Have you ever caught the scent of grape leaves? It's the elusive taste in dolmades, something you discover if you make your own: first collect leaves, blanch, stuff, roll and cook. That blanching step has the same scent I'm smelling as I photograph this scene. As an aside, I wouldn't use leaves from this variety for dolmades. They'd be alright to donate their tannins to a batch of dill pickles, but too coarse for eating. The leaves of the purple cornichon vine further up the row; they're the ones for dolmades. Not now I suppose, and I'm not going to look.
Without leaves, I guess those mites are doomed too. Good!
since the last attempt at a table turned into a storage bench, my 'pukis requested another table and there was just enough room in the caravan for a small one.
a little better view of the top.

The frickin' awesome booths & tables at Rice To Riches, the rice pudding joint on Spring Street (btwn. Mulberry & Mott). I'm not a big rice pudding fan, but theirs is pretty tasty -- unfortunately I can't eat more than a few spoonfuls without getting kinda sick of it. Oh well, the decor's fun to look at.
Josef Hoffmann (Austrian, 1870-1956)
Table Lamp, 1904
Manufacturer: Konrad Schindel for the Wiener Werkstätte
Nickel silver (alloy of copper and nickel), glass
Josef Hoffmann designed this lamp when the shift from gas to electricity was challenging designers to effectively utilize the new technology. He chose not to shade the light source. Instead, he drew attention to the naked bulbs by echoing their shape in the suspended glass spheres, which, like the shimmering hammered surfaces, catch and reflect the light.

Our full table setting. I have a story about those centrepiece flowers. I knew very early on that I wanted staghorn sumac in our centrepieces. I love the red and green, and I love how the leaves turn scarlet in the fall. I had originally also wanted asters, daisies, thistle, goldenrod, teasel, and various other wild, native Ontario flowers that can be found at the side of the road. But I was warned that wildflowers don't keep well, so I switched it up to sumac, cattails, and wild carrot because I knew from experience that they do hold up pretty well (keeping in mind that we put together these flower arrangements the night before, so they needed to stay intact for > 24hours. Anyway, I had been picturing these big flowing bushing wild- and "organic"-looking flower arrangements, but when I tried to put them together on Friday, they looked AWFUL. I, of course, started freaking out a little bit. But, huzzah, Kyle to the rescue. He strolls over, calmly snips all the leaves off a sumac bloom, throws a cattail head & two leaves in a wine bottle, and looks at me for approval. And thus our floral arrangements were decided upon. I told this story during my speech, because I think that it demonstrates how I come up with ideas, but Kyle (who had no interest/input/ideas about centrepieces before we started putting them together) refines them and thus we are much greater together than apart.
Also.. thanks to mom, dad, and Shay for picking these flowers. Shay, I'm glad your allergic reaction cleared up overnight!

My neighbour started making this mosaic table top a couple of years and has now finished it. Lovely fishy theme, so appropriate for our waterfront location.
We were assigned a table setting group assignment in one of my classes. This was what one of the groups produced (not mine).
Cape Town is a real beauty. It ranks with Hong Kong, Vancouver, San Francisco and Rio as one of the world's cities with the most spectacular natural settings, and Table Mountain can take much of the credit for that. The city sits in its lap.
- "Table Mountain is in the unique position of being the only terrestrial feature to give its name to a constellation - Mesa, meaning The Table, which is seen in the Southern Hemisphere, below Orion, around midnight in mid-July. It was named by the French astronomer Nicolas de Lacaille during his stay at the Cape in the mid-1700s."
- The '12 Disciples' can be seen stretching away to the left here.
- Again, I was taken to see Cape Point on this visit (the tip of the Cape of Good Hope where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet), past which flies the Flying Dutchman on its own schedule, and where the seabed is covered in wrecks. (I'll upload a photo) We arrived in the afternoon and stayed until just after sunset. The Point is at a height on a plateau or bluff that extends and curves SE, and from above its cliffs great views are had east, south and west out over both oceans.
- There were wild Chacma baboons there right by the road at the Point. capepoint.co.za/cape-of-primates-cape-points-chacma-baboons/
- And we saw a replica of a 'padrão' at the Cape, a limestone pillar surmounted by a cross erected there by the Portuguese on their voyages to signify Portuguese and Christian sovereignty (I'd see something similar at Cape Cross in Namibia a couple of weeks later), to serve as a navigational aid ("when lined up, [this and another padrão commemorating Bartolomeu Dias and his arrival in 1488] point to Whittle Rock, a large, permanently submerged shipping hazard in False Bay" [Wikipedia]), and to commemorate Vasco de Gama, the first European explorer to sail @ the Cape and on to India in 1497. capepoint.co.za/the-cape-of-pioneers/ The replica dates from 1965.
- I spent the better part of a day touring 'the Castle of Good Hope', aka the 'Kasteel de Goede Hoop', "a bastion fort built in the 17th cent. ... considered the best-preserved example of a Dutch East India Co. fort" anywhere. Built by the Co. /b/ 1666 & 1679, it's also the oldest existing bldg. in the country. "It replaced an earlier fort ... built from clay and timber by Jan van Riebeeck upon his arrival at the Cape in 1652." Capetown had been founded at that time as "a replenishment station for ships plying the treacherous coast @ the Cape on long voyages between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). In 1664, tensions between Great Britain and the Netherlands rose amid rumours of war. Commander Zacharias Wagenaer was instructed by Commissioner Isbrand Goske to build a pentagonal fortress out of stone. The first stone was laid on Jan. 2, 1666. ... In 1682, the gated entry replaced the old entrance, which had faced the sea. A bell tower, situated over the main entrance, was built in 1684. The original bell, the oldest in South Africa, was cast in Amsterdam in 1697, weighs just over 300 kg.s. ... [and] could be heard 10 km.s away. The fortress housed a church, bakery, various workshops, living quarters, shops, and cells," etc.
- "During the 2nd Boer War (1899–1902), part of the castle was used as a prison, and the former cells remain to this day. Fritz Joubert Duquesne, later known as the man who killed Kitchener, and the leader of the Duquesne Spy Ring, was one of its better-known inmates. The walls of the castle were very thick, but night after night, Duquesne dug at the cement @ the stones with an iron spoon. He had nearly escaped one night, but a large stone slipped and pinned him in his tunnel. The next morning, a guard found him unconscious but alive." (all Wikipedia) Today the Castle houses 'the Castle Military Museum' and is the scene of ceremonial activities by traditional Cape Regiments.
- I best remember the inside of a wooden door to one of the old, narrow prison cells on which the profile of a sailing ship had been carved by a prisoner. (I'll scan and upload a photo). commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Castle_of_Good_Hope_carve...

- There are museums in the former city hall and some old colonial houses (from 1701, 1755 & 1839) that I would've toured if I'd had more time (and if I'd done my homework), and the old 'South African museum', with its stuffed animals, etc. I didn't take a wine tour day-trip to Stellenbosch, Paarl (home to the largest wine co-op anywhere), or Franschhoek (centre of a wine region founded by Huguenots who arrived in the 1690s, and home to a Huguenot memorial museum), with their Cape dutch houses on wine estates. (I'm not big on wine tours.) But I would've liked to have seen the huge, brutalist and photogenic 'Afrikaanse Taal monument' to the Afrikaans language above Paarl (1975, but straight out of Star Trek: www.sa-venues.com/attractionswc/afrikaanse-taal-monument.htm www.reddit.com/r/brutalism/comments/6a0q4y/afrikaans_lang... ) if I'd known about it. The BIG miss wasn't a thing yet, or not for tourists, a 'Great White Shark cage dive'. !! I earned my scuba license only the summer before at Sharm-el-Sheikh, so I would've been game. "South Africa [had] passed national legislation in '91 [only 1 year earlier,] protecting the white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) from all fishing exploitation." www.oceans-research.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/johnso... The cape has the highest concentration of Great whites anywhere, in particular at 'shark alley' near Dyer Island, home to @ 60,000 cape fur seals. (There are only @ 3,500 Great whites world-wide). This was filmed there.: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzxy3GtSzt0
- I did a fair bit of walking @ Capetown. I recall the harbours, incl. the 'Victoria and Albert waterfront' (where I took the next photo of a Cape fur seal on a platform by the pier).
- I had a discussion with a local who ran a sushi restaurant in town or had some connection to it, just as I was about to head out to hitch north up the N7. I expressed interest (I love sushi, who doesn't?) but was mindful of my budget. He said "You'll never find better sushi for the price anywhere else" (i.e. in the world) and he seemed sincere. A miss.

I completely dismantled 2 pallets to get the size I wanted. Then I planed and sanded them and, I applied a white cottage cheese-based paint with natural pigments and then a layer of the same paint but with blue. Casters under the table, 2 drawers still with wooden pallet wood and voila.
J'ai désossé complètement 2 palettes pour en obtenir une aux dimensions que je voulais. J'ai ensuite tout raboté et poncé puis, j'ai appliqué une peinture blanche à base de fromage blanc et de pigments naturels et ensuite une couche de la même peinture mais avec du bleu. Des roulettes sous la table, 2 tiroirs toujours en bois de palette et le tour est joué.
Demolition of the Majestic Theatre has started. On my walk around the city to see what is happening, May 16, 2014 Christchurch New Zealand.
Opened on 1st March 1930 The Majestic Theatre was built for John Fuller & Sons and was leased to Christchurch Cinemas Ltd. Billed as ‘The Showplace of Christchurch’, the exterior was an Art Deco style containing three floors of offices, known as Majestic House.
In 1946, it was sold to the Kerridge-Odeon chain, and later that year, it was badly damage by a fire. It was renovated to the designs of architect Harry Francis Willis. In the 1960’s, live stage shows became popular at the Majestic Theatre, with ‘Startime Spectacular’ running for quite some time, and also appearances by pop groups from Great Britain, including The Kinks, The Dave Clark Five and Manfred Mann. In 1964 The Beatles played their only concert in Christchurch at the Majestic – this was their final New Zealand concert.
The Majestic Theatre closed on 28th August 1970, and was converted into a nightclub, named Moby Dick’s Nite Spot. Six years later it was again badly damaged by fire and the night club closed. It was later owned by the Christchurch Revival Fellowship Church. For More Info: www.highstreetstories.co.nz/stories/93-the-majestic-theatre
