Thanks, Charlee --- I have never been one to alter the appearance of any antique - preferring to leave things alone except for cleaning, thus preserving the memories that are stored therein (waxing euphoric here ................ ;o). BUT - I think this old girl might be delighted with a new dress and as you said - it's not that she's a rare, pristine piece to begin with. I will have my daughter retain her Wheeler/Wilson decal look but gussy her up a bit (thinking green vines with touches of gold). When this is accomplished I'll post pics and you can let me know what you think. It probably won't be until Winter but I can be patient ...................
@Latrinka ----- yes, she's OLD (I think that's why I like these ancient ones so much - they mirror me). LOL
