Kitchen

My iron kitchen set has been so good to me. Its heavier than hell, but was FREE on the side of the road. Mel and I picked it up one Saturday afternoon coming home from junking - her minvian was FULL FULL, but we had to grab this. We fit in what we could and ended up walking one of the chairs home (luckily found this around the corner from the house). I have recovered it once for my shabby chic condo and now did a fun bright print ...

I also love my "The Jeweler" sign that my hubby and I spotted in an antique mall in Garden City, MO where our farm is. I said "I have to have that" just as a huge thunderstorm was hitting. Our windows were down in our car, as was our dog, so we left. I went back the next week and bought it, the same night Brad came home and was so sad, telling me he went back to buy me that sign but it was gone. Yeah, because I bought it !

the green bench was another old memory. it is from roundhill, our community "barn" tennis and swim club where i grew up and lifeguarded. these were the benches on the tennis courts built by a late friend of the family so they hold special meaning to me. many a tennis match i won and lost while taking a break on this bench. it was a "wedding present" courtesy of the roundhill board after our reception there. was sitting in a store room long forgotten and i wanted it ! mack loves to climb on it and it fits perfectly below my windows in my kitchen. funny how new houses we move to have a way of fitting my things in a new way.
