An Early Christmas Present

Hi everyone! Remember this piece from Goodwill?


Well we were in Goodwill  last weekend and it was still there! I had told my husband about it but I was sure it would be gone. Not only was it there but that day all blue ticket items were 50% off so I got it for just over $30 dollars! When we went to check out the guy in front of me said that he'd been looking at it for weeks but that he already had two at home and couldn't figure out where to put another. Some things are just meant to be!

I told my husband that he should consider it a Christmas present from him to me. Like alot of families we're cutting back on the gift giving this year and we had agreed on one present each. Although, I'm sure he's going to ignore my suggestion~smile. I'm very very happy with my present!

I plan on painting it in the spring when I can do it outside or at least keep the door open.  I can just imagine all sorts of fun things to do with it for each season!

I had to take down all my black mirrors - so all those need to be re-hung. But I'll wait until after New Year's to do that.
Remember when I found this chandelier in a neighbors garbage? 

Well, the same neighbor threw this away! A perfectly good rattan loveseat!  Absolutely nothing wrong with it - nothing's loose, just needs some cushions.

I have a little protected area on my concrete patio which is a cantelivered portion of the kitchen that I'm going to put that under. It should stay dry there. She has a matching chair still sitting on her front porch (painted lime green btw). I slow down whenever I drive past her house! LOL


I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! It's raining here (again) so we've been inside crafting and baking. I hope to be able to show you next week what I've been up to. I'm waiting for a sunny day to take photos of my Christmas decoration in my living room and looks like that won't happen until the middle of next week!

Thanks for stopping by!
