Hope Chest

When I was younger my Grandma Pat gave me a few items for my hope chest.
A crystal candy dish was among them.
Years later my aunt gave me cool wall hangy things, into the "hope chest" they went.
My hope chest keeps growing and growing, and within the last few day's at quite a rapid pace.
I can't help but be excited as I can tell that these items are going to be put to use very soon.

A few weeks ago while discovering my home decor style is "vintage eclectic" whilst looking through a magazine with a friend. I spotted a couch that I thought was incredible. Not so incredible when I saw the $900 price tag. BUT while out on a walk on my BIRTHDAY nonetheless I came upon this vintage couch almost identical to what I had seen only weeks before... Happy Birthday to me!

I praise God for this and for friends who helped me load it into the van.

(Random side story.... We don't have a shop-vac anymore so I took my van to a little car care place, paid 75 cents, and vacuumed the dog hair off the couch from the previous owner :)

While out celebrating with a couple of friends we discovered yet another little take home treasure. A round kitchen table and 2 chairs! Win!

God's providing for my needs before they are even needs, it's so great, He's moving so powerfully so quickly. I'm loving sitting back and resting in Him as we coast forward together :)
