Yesterday, I was working at the shop when the phone rang. It was an elderly lady (84). She told me she had an old sofa, possibly Victorian, that needed upholstered and was looking for someone to take it. Well, sheesh, my mind didn't wrap around the 'looking for someone to take it' part. So I handed the phone to hubs. As he was talking to her, I got to thinking. Just as he was about to say no, I interrupted and said if she's giving it away, I want it.
He tells her the 'boss' said yes. Then he gets off the phone and asks me why I want a piece of junk. Uh, duh! If it's junk we'll deal with it, if it isn't, then well, Duh!
I know, nobody gives furniture away. Yeah, yeah, yeah, especially if it is in mint condition.
Ever since I was little I wanted antique furniture. Look what the Lord provided. :)

Very inspirational. I've been looking at fabric every since I got it because it does need reupholstered.
It's gorgeous! Wow....how lucky to get hold of something so inspiring. Many a love scene can be staged on that couch.
Ooooh, it's wonderful! I don't blame you at all. I'd "squeee" too!
A definite SQUEE! It's beautiful!!! Now get back to editing!
Sasha, the girls and I browsed the books but nothing felt right. You know what I mean?
Erika! What have you been up too? Haven't seen you around for a while, probably because I've been lost in my own world for a long while.
What is funny is that as soon as hubs and Princess sat it down, I couldn't help but let my mind wander a bit. ;)
Laurie, it is beautiful, isn't it?
Christine, of course you'd be haunting me. I won't tell you how many pages I got done. (Okay, I read 211 pages, but it wasn't my book.) Bad I know.
Fantastic! Great "find".

About
- Renee
- is a college student, homeschooling mom, dog lover, and a professed lilapsophobiac. She has always fantasized about grand adventures and exotic places. Even as a child, she hoarded maps and pictures of foreign lands. Not quite an only child, yet not a sibling either it's no wonder she never found her niche in the world outside of pen and paper. When she's not chasing kids or helping her husband you can often find her unlocking history through romance at her laptop.
