Yes, the laws of attraction work!!

I've been a big fan of  missmustardseed.blogspot.com for months.  Yes, join the crowd, I know.  She's such a  talented woman with loads of energy.  I read her blog and think, "I need to take a nap!!"

I saw her dining room set on her blog and fell in love with it instantly.  It became part of my screensaver, I read her blog about it, and dreamed about it as an inspiration for me to become brave enough to redo a set when I found a bargain.  I hemmed and hawed about picking up a dining room set (with two broken chairs), my husband supported me, but I held back and told the shop owner I would let her know the next day.  It didn't feel right and was an enormous project.

Three hours later, I was home, checked Miss Mustard Seed's blog and she had just announced she decided to sell her beautiful table and chairs!!!  Oh, the joy, the excitement!!  After emailing her AND being the first to contact her, they were mine!!  Sometimes, things were meant to be!!!!

We picked them up at the Luckett's Fair.  What an event!!  Make plans to go next year and visit her booth.  Beautiful stuff!!  





The furniture is now tucked away until our house is finished.  I keep peeking under the blankets to make sure they're still there.  I still can't believe THAT dining room set is mine!!  What a rush!!!  It was on the cover of a magazine.  Look at these great photos!!!
