Farm House Sink

I am SO resisting the urge to upgrade.  I have been showing such self control.  I wanted granite counter-tops, a tiny dishwasher, a new flat-screen TV.......

However, this is not compatible with my goals of simplification.  Money in, money out is not something I want to do.  Saving is a priority, as is working less.  I do not want to work more to have these things.  

That being said, I am ON THE HUNT!  In the last two mega houses that we build and lived in (WHAT was I thinking?)  I was fortunate enough to have found old, vintage, farmhouse sinks, like these:

What is so interesting, is I do not think these were actually 'farmhouse sinks', as we now call them.  In the '40's and '50's these were up-scale, brand new,  sinks for indoor plumbing of the fashionable modern kitchen.

I found the first one for $75.00, the second for $50.00.  The first one was in my brother-in-law's granite shop junk yard, out in the woods, actually.  Full of leaves.  I was salivating, my heart was pumping, palms sweaty, as I pulled her out of the muck.  Sweet little girl, I will rescue you!  SOMEONE (I HOPE I NEVER find out WHO) had exchanged her for new, shiny granite.  I shudder to think.....My dear brother-in-law still valued her, but had no where to put her.  She was mine.

Moving on, she now lives happily with her new owner.  The second girl was found when I answered an ad for two seven foot solid wood french doors.  These were beautiful, the set was mine for just $25.00.  As I was leaving, I noticed this grimy dirty faced little girl out of the corner of my eyes.  Could it be?  Was it?  No WAY!  YES!!!!!! We had found each other!  I picked her up for just $50.00.  Both were disgustingly dirty, but apparently the grime served as a protective coating.  Underneath the porcelain was in almost pristine condition.  There were a few nicks and scratches, but I felt so happy to give these old girls a 

home 

to be loved in.  

So, will I be so blessed as to find another?  Do any of you out there have one of these ladies?  Care to tell the story?
