Thank You, Fresh Vintage

Last September Michele and I visited a great booth at Renningers called Fresh Vintage. We picked up enough stuff to fill my van and her pick-up. A lovely, shabby pink cabinet for Perch home (Michele's store) and a large dresser with creamy, glossy paint for my bedroom. In addition I bought the cutest little pink stool with a vinyl seat, an old pink and blue lunch box, a pretty blue tackle box, some clear glass flower frogs and soemthing I've never heard of - sour cream glasses (like painted jelly jars except for sour cream - they really knew how to do things back in the day).

In my excitement I forgot to get everything but the large items. It wasn't until I got home that I realized I didn't have my pink stool. So sad!

So I emailed Colleen and over the course of the next 7 months we tried to meet up. I was going to be near Paoli in October for my sisters wedding but it was just too hectic for a side trip. And then we moved in November, the holidays were a blur, and here we were in April already.

I was hoping that Colleen and her sisters would be at Renningers again this Spring but they had too much going on with the annex and something like 12 kids under 6 between them.

So, after our Find & Go Seek research mission to Adamstown we made the detour through Gilbertsville where Colleen's sister lives. The GPS had some issues but we finally found it. As promised everything was there on the porch.

What a pain it must have been to hold onto my pile of stuff for so long. Many would have sold it, mailed a check and been done with it. We just had a garage sale last weekend - is there anything worse than stuff you don't want in your basement or garage? Not to mention the fact that this weekend they were celebrating at least two family birthdays. I really appreciate all of their effort and thoughtfulness! And the stool looks great in my entryway. My girls love to sit on it!

So, know I need to think of a way to thank Colleen. Any suggestions?
