Trash to Treasure?

April 1, 2006
We have decided to start planning for a garage sale this summer as a way to help raise money for the adoption. So, this weekend, some friends brought over loads of stuff! We've crammed it all into our house in various nooks & crannies while we wait for summer to arrive.

Our dining room is now "accessorized" with desks, bags of clothes/other items, and an egg-crate mattress! We were able to fit a dresser, table, and TV in the outside shed, along with other bags & boxes of things. In the nursery, a computer is pushed in a corner under the baby swing, next to the crib. (It looks like we're expecting some techno baby!)

They also gave us their wooden rocking chair (over 20 years-old) for us to use with the baby, if we want. We'll need to see if we can re-attach the arms to make it more sturdy, but it was so sweet of them to bless us with this family treasure!
