Mama said there’d be days like this - GIVEAWAY

Interestingly enough, my day started out pretty good. I was up by 5:30am, dressed and ready to head out the door for a little shopping at the flea market with my friend Laurie. The two of us, fumbling around in the dark without a flashlight, dressed like two little Eskimo's must have been quite a site.

 

I was thrilled to find my friend Cheryl there, selling a set of 6 dining chairs that had my name written all over them like nobody’s business. I measured them and called Adam at home. He measured our chairs at home and called me back. It was all good. We loaded all 6 chairs in the back of my pick-up and  headed on our way home.

 

I brought the new chairs into our dining room, swapped them out with the old ones, started preparing to photograph what I’ve been working on in our living room, along with the new dining room chairs I just scored…and then it happened…

 

My camera froze up on me.

 

My beloved Canon Rebel XT decided to fold up its arms, look at me square in the face and say “nah, I don’t feel much like having my buttons pressed today” and it even gave me the finger. Okay, maybe not.

 

So my camera is now at the camera medic (a.k.a. local camera shop) not to be ready until tomorrow, which means I’m going to have to ask you to wait, just a bit longer. Is it just me, or is this sounding a little familiar, minus all the anxiety.

 

Since I couldn’t bear to let you down, especially if you’ve read down this far, I came up with a super lovely consolation prize, with a little help from my friend Laurie at Bella Inspirations. She was kind enough to give us one of her ruffled burlap table runners to give away to one of you lucky readers, here on my Blog!
