This week I visited friends, several thrift stores and consignment shops. Ooooh, what fun! I have missed "shopping" with friends. My creativity was stretched putting together a futon (in pieces, without a manual) with my friends. We found it at a local thrift store; I swear it was brand new! Real wood, with drawers, a lovely thick futon mattress and a washable cover. The price was AMAZING and to top it off, it was also ON SALE!!! Yep, 25% off the sales price. The futon is a comfy addition to my friend Nancy’s “she shed”. Needless to say, it was a great day!
