When I was a little girl, I would pick weeds, (I thought they were flowers), all clinched in my fist, I would give them to my mother, in a vase the little weeds would live, until.. It made me feel good inside. As an adult, I still pick weeds, by picking ugly or castoff item's and creating something nice and useful. It still makes me feel good inside.

GOT THIS FOR 1/2 OFF!!
While killing time before picking up wildman from school, I stopped by a local furniture store to ask about some china cabinet glass. They did not have the glass, but I did find out what I needed to ask for when I did find it. Anyhow, I was on my way out, and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw this awesome wood carved chair!! And it was half price for $69.00!! I could not leave without it!! it now resides (for now) beside my fireplace. Ignore the stuff behind it, as they are waiting for a permanent spot. I will most likely cover the seat, and it is already a great distressed shade of off white!! It is part of my birthday money I was given by the hubs. Still got some left to spend!! Show you that stuff later!! Rhonda
