ABOUT US

My photo
NEBRASKA, United States
I have learned and developed many tips, shortcuts and secrets over 37 years while running an antique refurbishing business. I love auctions and repurposing the things no one seems to want. It's my desire to stimulate or encourage your interest in refurbishing wood furniture,rescuing,repurposing and creating useful items for your home. Every piece of wood has a distinct and unique characteristic that must be recognized. Nothing can be manufactured with the beauty of natural grain and patina of wood.

WINTER SUNSET IN NEBRASKA

                                                   Looking out my kitchen window!

Dual Purpose!

Today I went out for a break with a friend.
When I got in her car ,she gave me this sweet
china coffee cup she got at Goodwill. 
 As I began to thank her she said 
 "Oh that's not all, here's something
to put in the cup. to my surprise it was a
round red pin cushion.
 She plopped it in the cup and said 
" there now you have no excuse
 for not knowing where your pins and needles are!
This is for people who need everything
to have a dual purpose." Oops! I guess that's me.
 We had a good laugh.
Anyway, isn't it a clever idea ?
What  a great anytime, spur of the moment gift.
I LOVE IT. Thanks Jean.
