Love It! But at what cost?

I love Viva Terra. It's a great catalog with all kinds of stuff that just calls my name. I have the perfect place for this vintage real slate chalkboard. After using a chalkboard for years to keep my kids organized, I now need it to keep my menopausal-self organized. It's great to write the days of the week and then put down what ever I have going on each day.

But at what cost? At $175 plus shipping and tax I am looking at $209. I think with some help from my step-dad I will try to tackle this myself. He can use a saw and I love chalkboard paint.

So.... I will update you on my new chalkboard!
