Salutations!

I found this tiny table at a local architectural salvage place I love.

It sat in the corner of the third floor landing, pitiful and all alone.

Le Grand Hotel No-Tell

for 

Miss Charlotte and all her baby spiders.

After a quick clean up and all that Charlotte business had been taken care of,
she got a new home here with Sophie.

A couple of quick coats of Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan and she's feelin' fine now.
I used Duck Egg Blue and Old White, then gave it a coat of clear wax.
I added the dark wax in for some depth in the carvings.
She's pretty now.

  No Charlotte, no spider babies.

Her new job requires that she stand tall and afford a little lift to certain keeps around the house.

She's a plant stand, she's a pedestal, she's a lady.

(Whoa, whoa, whoa, she's a lady.)

Why is that hip shakin' Tom Jones stuck in my head?

I must need food.

I always get disturbing thoughts when I'm hungry.

Charlotte: I'm versatile.

Wilbur: Does that mean full of eggs?

Charlotte: Certainly not.
Versatile means I can change with ease from one thing to another.

She will receive her new guests soon.

Maybe a sweet little pig?

Thanks for having me, Karen.
It's been a pleasure.
Safe travels!
