We bought it at a flea market years ago when our kids were growing up, with the thought of why get something "nice" when the kids, their friends, and the pets would only tear it up, right? Now, our grandchildren are older than our kids were when we purchased it. The thing is, even though the furniture is ugly, it still functions. So I simply cannot justify buying a new set, when there are so many people in the world who don't even have a home to put one in. Yeah, I'm a bit of a bleeding heart. My hubby isn't, but he's content not to have to spend any money on a new set!Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-86941806367316162592012-01-12T23:35:51.596-08:002012-01-12T23:35:51.596-08:00That's the best philosophy, Becca, gratitude f...That's the best philosophy, Becca, gratitude for what one has is the cornerstone to inner peace and happiness.

Many years ago, when my daughter was small, we lived in a one bedroom apartment; when she was about seven I decided I would convert my little kitchen eating area (8 x 6) and make a wee bedroom for myself.<br />Yes, a single bed, small drawers and a little night stand all fit into this space. I made it real pretty and my friends could hardly believe what I did with such a tiny space. <br /><br />Do you know...I miss that little space!Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-38745200749923537612012-01-12T23:22:16.528-08:002012-01-12T23:22:16.528-08:00Can serious Al come out to play too!
