Restoring is hard work

Not everything I found and collected was in pristine condition during the time of
discovery. Many a time, due to age and wear or just poor storage and care, the items had
their varnishes gone, were dirt-encrusted and rust had settled in. I’ve lost track of the
number of hours that I’ve spent polishing, re-varnishing and restoring. But it’s all worth it
when I look at the finished piece restored to its former glory.

I guess you could say that hard work pays off.

Happy Shopping
