From a VERY generous neighbour


I am already day dreaming about where I can locate some front facing book shelves! 


...and does anyone know how to repair a butcher block bistro table?  I think it involves glue and probably a vice of some sort

    That's cool. I've just been compiling a bunch of old children's books to give to a friend who is expecting a baby. Not that many though!

    You're so lucky!! My kid loves books also. Some days I think she doesn't need any other toys. Maybe I should make friends with my neighbours :)

    hey emma! the chairs were from my neighbor too! I don't have a place for them - yet...but I am picturing a super long outdoor table on large flagstone patio outside...we don't have any landscaping yet...so these babies will have to wait (I have 7 very old bistro chairs now)!
