Check out my Frog Tape Giveaway! It’s going on through November 30, so make sure you leave a comment.
I LOVE free stuff and have received some great things lately. Before you call PETA, I did not knock some baby birds out of their home to steal this nest. The woman who owns my shop had it for sale in a basket. I loved it so much, I decided to buy it and she just gave it to me. I had some blown out eggs on hand (that I use for Ukrainian egg dying), so I placed them in the nest and I put it in a balance I got at a yard sale for $20.00. Now, I need to find a safe place for it where curious cats and kids will leave it alone…hmmm. That’s always the dilemma.
Lastly, my husband is not known as a dumpster diver, thrifter, or junker. He just tolerates my rubber-necking at yard sales and picking furniture up off the side of the road. But, last week he shocked me. He came home from work and said, “Some body was getting rid of something and I knew you would like it.” He carried this in from his truck.
It is such a cool desk chair and it looks so good in my office. Before I had one chair to roll between my desk and my work surface, now I have two. Great job, honey!

OMG! What a score ~ he did so good! The back is so unusual; usually you see a straight back with the slats. Love it! Keep him!
Love the tray, too. The scrolly handles are great.
You lucky gal you! Love it all! Yes indeed, that footed tray is decadent. I love how you staged it.

Everything is just lovely. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Nice chair, but… why am I thinking to myself that there is no way that chair is going to stay looking like that?

That chair was an awesome find! I saw a cool mirror on the side of the road yesterday and was *this* close to picking it up…however, we are moving in a few weeks and my husband has already been teasing me that I'm gonna have to get rid of some stuff…so I passed 🙂
Warmly,

Love that white tray. I picked one up similar to yours at Scotts in Atlanta earlier this year for about $12! It's huge….I'll send you a picture sometime.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Good job, Mr. Mustard Seed. That chair is beautiful! Mr. Lizard King brought home a little tyke bike the other day that was labeled "free" on the side of the road. Our baby girl will soon be riding a red bike with flames down the side! Happy Thanksgiving.
Who would throw that chair away! Soooo nice.
O, I love the nest and the tray but, O HONEY, that chair is AWESOME..Mr. Mustard Seed did GOOD!!

O, and just how do you blow out the egg yolk, which is fairly large thru a tiny hole? I never have figured that one out….??
I love that chair! Thanks so much for stopping by!
what a lovely post! I love the footed tray your friend sent you! and the nest, how pretty!
Isn't it nice to have a hubby that truly gets you! I love it when my husband brings something home for me – it can be the littlest thing but it lets you know he's thinking about you during his day.
Nice post – Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey Marian! Thanks for the shout-out! I'm glad you like your tray. Love what you did with it!
