There is a coffee shop (Mill Town Java) near me that my family frequents often. The family that owns it has become dear to us. They had an old oak pub table that I just loved. I asked them to let me purchase it many times. They said they would think about it when they had a replacement. I use to call it my table! One summer about 3 years ago, I saw a similar table with a compass rose painted on the table top. If I could have thrown a fit and got that table, it would have been worth it. It was a very expensive table as things can be at the beach. A girl can always wish! One day at the coffee store my friend came up to me and said they had a replacement table and they were gifting the pub table to me. I almost had a good fit right there. I was so excited. I refinished the table and painted my own compass rose with Daler-Rowney FW inks. I love it and that family is going to join us at this table for dinner.
