I LOVE FREE!!!


Look what I found! FOR FREE!!! I scored! I haven't found a place for them yet so they are just hanging out in my office and entryway so that I can admire them and show them off to any who might drop by! So there is kinda a funny story with how I found them...wanna hear?
I had to come home during church because I realized I had left all my stuff on the desk (had the bag just no stuff...that's what happens when you are a super efficient Primary Secretary who is always on top of updating lists and things {{wink, wink}}...not really) Anyway...I ran home to get my stuff and on the way back to church I drove by a house in our neighborhood and these things were on the sidewalk with a sign that read "FREE, please take both". Well I had to obey the sign...couldn't just take one! (the green table is what caught my eye) So I quickly got the table in my car and then looked at the big star cupboard. {running through my head while looking at it was this...Shawn is going to die, he is going to think I am crazy, where might it look best?, oh I know I can use it for stamp storage, my dad will say "Big surprise you have another something with stars on it", how to I get this in the car by myself and I have to get back to church!} So I took a deep breath and heaved that thing into the back of the 'burb, broke a nail in the process and drove off with a huge smile on my face, breathing heavily the whole way back to church!!
I love free stuff!! :)

This must be what happens for all that clean living you are doing! What great luck! I think both pieces are beautiful and eclectic and rustic and will fit right in with all of your fabulous decorating!!
PS I am getting so excited to be there! 2 and a little days and counting.
