I did a lot of just wandering around late this afternoon. Bought yarn. Bought various other little things. I got some place mats for the table, since I couldn't quite bring myself to spring for the cost of a new tablecloth and they didn't have any nice ones at Goodwill. I also got a vase and some fake flowers. It's not fancy, but I think it's cheerful, at least. Ignore the blurriness and the mess behind.

Halvah - being Halvah - is most interested in the paper the vase was wrapped in. She likes to sit on bags or paper. It's her thing. Go figger. She's still sitting just like that, five minutes later.

I like it! It is cheerful :~) It’s a good table. Maybe if you’re lucky you can eat at it... we can never eat at ours. It always has frap on it. :~)

Pippin likes to lay in all the plastic bags when we get back from grocery shopping. I always tell ecurbh that *good* parents don’t let their kids play with plastic bags.

Gosh, Rosie!! Your table and chairs look just like the set we have in our kitchen! We have two leaves to make it longer, though we only have one in it right now. We’ve had it over 20 years, and it’s still going strong; a little beat up maybe, but not too bad. I like your blue flowers. Do you use your afghan when sitting on your couch? It looks really warm!

Rosie, I love the table!!

I wish I had a nice table. Mine is warped and none of the leaves match up. And the chairs don’t have any finish on them. But it was free. Someone didn’t want to keep it when it didn’t sell at their garage sale.
