15 cent school chair

I went on a little thrifting trip with my friend, Jessie, yesterday. We stopped at a different Goodwill than I usually shop at. This little school chair was originally marked $7.99, but it never got sold, so therefore became 15 cents. Okay-I'll take it.

At first I was going to paint it, but then I thought the pencil and paint marks tell a story, so I decided to let it go natural-at least for now.

I scooched over my little book shelf and made room for it in my bedroom. I'll sit pretties and books on it.

Speaking of pretties-see the baby afghan on the bottom. My paternal grandmother made and gave that to me well before I was a mother. But why, why, why didn't I get a photo of my baby with it? I guess I was too busy to worry about such things then. Oh well-at least I have it and can enjoy looking at the beauty of it now.

I think I appreciate things like this much more now, than I used to.

Jessie and I also went to Walmart and she bought some towels and I'm making her a towel rug. Stayed tuned! Don't go anywhere, I'll be right back.☺

Very sweet chair, Holly. I don't think you took a picture with your baby in it for the same reason I didn't. Our brains were fried at that point as was our bodies AND we lacked the much needed sleep to even realize this..HA.
