This is the third time I have tried to write this post.

I had been up since 5:30, reading and drinking coffee, when I decided to log on here and ask a question about antiquing kits.

Well, you know I can never just ask a simple question. I had told all of you why I wanted to know. I had talked about my loyalty to US-made furniture. I had shamelessly confessed about the wood chairs I just bought that were from nowhere near the US. I had linked you to a picture of them. I had explained that "Antique White" must have lost something in the translation because these chairs have arrived and they are beige or yellow or something like that. Therefore, I am thinking maybe they can be saved by an antiquing kit. But do such things still exist?

Then I told you about all the stuff I used an antiquing kit on in my first apartment -- long ago.

Then I waxed philosophic about the American-made Nichols and Stone kitchen chairs that I bought 5 years ago and how I love them so.

On and on I was going.

But, alas, it is big, ugly, wonderful, fluffy robe season here in Cincinnati. And the big, ugly, wonderful, fluffy sleeve of my robe caught something on the keyboard and wiped out my whole post.

So I regrouped and started over. And then the power did one of those flash on and off things. I lost it all again.

Is the universe trying to tell me something????

So anyway, does anybody know if there is still such a thing as an antiquing kit?
