From Trash To Treasure

Carol, our daughter-in-law, has always loved the furniture from the 50's. She likes the sleek Danish look which was introduced during that period. It has become popular again and quite pricy.

Since she is the world's best shopper, she kept an eye out at all the discount places hoping that one day she would run across someone's "trash" with the hopes of making it her "treasure".

She recently stopped at Goodwill to check out their latest inventory. Sure enough...there was the dining room suite she had been waiting for. The collection consisted of a buffet, china cabinet, table and six chairs.

When she asked the manager to give her a price, he said it would normally be $40.00 but since it was half-price day, he would let it go for $20.00. Needless to say, Carol was on cloud #9.

The top layer of grim and dirt hide their true beauty. She scrubbed and polished until the wood grain shone through.

I think you will agree that she is the "World's Best Shopper".
