patience, skill, industry



Thanks to my husband's patience, skill, and industry!
These qualities are essential to a lifestyle of thrift, I've found.
He's got all three.
I'm still working on a couple of them.

 Much better, too!

  2. Is that bottom drawer cedar lined for storage of woolens? How clever. I've never run across that before ---- surprising with all the auctions that we have gone to. Did it come that way or did your handy husband think that up?

    1. That's how it came! I've never seen it either. The gentleman that sold it to us thinks it is about 40-50 years old (it was his son's when his son still lived at home.

  5. Really nice. The cedar drawer in the chest would make it a winner for me. Also like the way the former telephone seat looks when the two of you finished it.

    1. Thanks, Darla. I usually try to finish things the way I'd like them if I were keeping them - even if we plan to sell them :)
