A Vintage Treasure
Ted and I had
looked all over New England for an old cash register one year about 25 years
ago when I first opened my shop. When we came home we were having
dinner in a local restaurant that was also owned by an antique dealer.
I mentioned not being able to find an old five & dime cash register.
She said she had one at her shop in Auburn for $15.00. I bought
it sight unseen that night! The cash register weighed a ton and
was ugly, but Ted took it all apart, sandblasted the old paint off and then
put it back together.
My best friend Linda Milliman
came along, saw it and asked if she could paint it. Ted took it
to her house and she painted the flowers on it. On my birthday that
year Linda invited me over for cake and ice cream. I walked into her
kitchen and she had it sitting on her kitchen counter. I couldn't
believe how beautiful it was. It was my birthday present and I'll
treasure it for ever! |
