Musical Chairs

Last week I had the chance to go junking with a

good friend of mine.  We found the best stuff and

had such a wonderful day!  At one of our favorite

antique malls, we came across an amazing pink

needlepoint chair!  It was everything I adore in a 

chair and it was like it was made for my front room!

Alas, the price was just abit too high for me and

I walked away without it.

On our very last stop at one of the thrift stores

that we frequent (and with only 20 minutes to

go until closing), I came across this adorable little

French Provincial chair.  It was only $8.00.  Yes,

you read that right!  It jumped into my cart

pretty quickly when I saw the price.  I got a cute

little chair after all!

Well this story takes another little twist and turn...

I was speaking to my Mom on the phone that night

and described my thrift shop find with her and I

also described that glorious needlepoint chair that

was in the antique mall.  She thought that it 

sounded really pretty...we talked about it for

some time.  We get off on these tangents you see...

The next morning the phone rang quite early and

the caller id announced that it was my Mom.  I

thought that it was kind of strange (she lives in

Canada) seeing as how we had talked for some

time the night before.  Right away I could tell by

the sound of her voice that something was up!

She said...I want you to go on a caper for me!

Mom and I are always going on capers when we

are together!  (*_*)  She told me that she wanted

me to go down to the antique mall and pick up

that beautiful pink french chair!  Of course I told

her that I couldn't and that it just wasn't in the

cards for me at that particular time.

She told me that I most certainly could go and get

it because she had called down to the antique mall

and had purchased it for me as a present!  What???

My Mom is always up to something!  She had an old

flyer of all of the antique stores and sales that she

had brought home with her, looked up the number

to the antique mall and phoned them first thing in

the morning and purchased the chair for me!

That is just the kind of person my Mom is.  She is

always trying to do things for me and buy things

for me and I'm always saying NO!  I guess she

decided to totally bypass me this time and leave

out the middle man...that would be me!

Little does she know that I had already purchased

some gorgeous china for her from an Etsy shop in

Canada (Jennelise Rose) and it is on the way to

her.  She should be receiving it today and I did

that before I even told her about the chair.

That will serve her right!  (*_*)

Oh, and the $8.00 chair?  It is already downstairs

in the guest bedroom that is decorated with

French Provincial furniture!
