Cast-Offs and Freebies

I couldn't help posting these inferior photos!  Saturday, as part of our celebration of  the 40th anniversary of our engagement, we went to my favorite thrift store.  One thing I've been looking for is fabric to cover the seats of these chairs--and I found it!  For $1!  These were definitely not the colors I was looking for, but the pattern and colors have "grown" on me.

After a lovely meal (I had Mallory's Salmon Salad which featured artichoke, asparagus, walnuts, bleu cheese and black currant dressing), we came home.  I CUT; my husband STAPLED.  Then together we carried in the table and chairs (and carried out the old ones).  He's been wanting to refinish the top of our old table for a long time.

THIS table and four chairs were gifts from Lynn and Donna.  Gary repaired and refinished them, and I am enjoying the look of the dark wood in our kitchen/dining area.  The "captain's" chair was a stray that matches quite enough for me.  We're on the lookout for another to complete the "set".

I never tire of changing and rearranging furniture.  Happily, I'm also quite content with
cast-offs and freebies!

I myself was a cast-off once--before Jesus changed and rearranged me!

And He's STILL at it!
