My husband and I went out to dinner for our 22nd wedding anniversary. We left our two college age children at home to fend for dinner on their own. We returned around 9:00 and was greeted by my youngest, Maddie, with instructions to stay right where we were....the middle of the kitchen. You could see the excitement on her face about the sheer fact she was giving us a surprise!
She goes around the corner and returns with a T-shirt for her dad that the two had bought at Belks. Tells me that that was just for him but mine was next.
"Now Mom, yours needs a little TLC. We went to GoodWill. I was feeling lucky! It was the first thing I saw. And it was just $3 bucks! You can look now, but remember it needs some TLC!"
Does it even matter what it was after that introduction!!!!!!!
I thought my heart would explode with pride!
She gifted me with a new thrifty project to work on...... my all time favorite thing to do!
Here it is... the anniversary chair.

What a sweet story! It's always cute when our children know what we like... my daughter brought home a bird's nest that had fallen out of a tree at her work once and I just thought it was the sweetest thing! I love the chair too, only $3?? Amazing!

I love that story. Reminds me of my kids when they were younger and the excitement of their gift giving. That chair looks so familiar. Trying to think who had those chairs that I knew. It's going to haunt me, but in a good way. Love what you did with it. That is really so cool! Hope you'll stop by for a visit at Quirky Vistas.
