Thrift store stand-out

This 100 year old beauty is currently docked at the Habitat Re-Store in Athens. Quite a surprise to come across -- she hails from the south Georgia coast, and has a killer aqua patina that the photos don't do justice. Maybe not so seaworthy anymore, but deserving of a place in someone's mansion, store, or restaurant -- she's much larger than it looks here. (with glass across the top, this would make a fabulous dining room table base....or hang with large ropes from overhead beams for an amazingly cool bed -- perfect for floating away into dreamland)

Wow! I had no idea there would be something like this at the Restore.

I need to learn more about this store and where the nearest one is to me.
