I was so delighted
Several years ago my stepmother was moving to a smaller house, and she asked me if there was anything in her “old” house that I would like to have. She had a couple of butcherblock tables and wicker chairs in her sunroom that I have always admired. I told her that I would absolutely LOVE to have that set! Well, she actually let me have the set – the two tables and all of the chairs – but she only had seven chairs! She said that they had all been falling apart and so they cannibalized one chair to fix the other seven. So for several years I’ve only had the seven chairs. Odd, but better than no chairs!
Yesterday I went to a local thrift store and found a matching chair to that set for only $3.00! I was thrilled! It was only a matter of seconds before that chair was paid for and in my car, heading for home. Now I have the complete set and I am as happy as a pig in mud!
