Naturally Frugal

When we first bought our house I was at church telling some people what our plans were. You know, what colors we were going to paint and what we were going to use the other 3 bedrooms for. I was explaining that the large room over the garage was going to be an office/craft room. The only problem is that I didn’t have any tables or shelving units or anything. I had been pricing out fold up tables that I could get, they were all at least $45.00. We didn’t have the extra money to spend on those right now, so I would have to make do with what I had. There are 2 closets in the room and I was planning on using one of them to store my craft items. A lady named Barbara was near and could hear part of our conversation. That night she contacted me and asked if I would be able to use some craft tables? She had two. One was a sewing table that holds a sewing machine and a serger. The other is a long fold out table. She had one listed on Craigslist and the other she was going to put in their community garage sale the following weekend. She said if I could use them, she would rather just GIVE them to me, than sell them to someone else. Praise God! For those of you who do any sorta of crafting, you know how how nice it is to have a good work space. I couldn’t believe it. Of course I told her that I would be happy to take them off her hands. What a huge blessing. When she brought the tables over last night you could tell how excited she was to have found a young person who loves crafts. She got these tables when she was around my age (22) so there are alot of memories that came with these tables. I am so thankful to have received these from Barbara. I better get crafting now!
