I looked around to see if anyone was around ( I am not a big fan of people seeing me root through trash ;) and then I whipped it in my car and drove off.
I realized when I got it out of the car that is was broken and missing the rocking part on the other side. I was a bit disappointed but I knew I could still make use of it. It was too dang cute. Plus, Miss Annabelle had already fallen in love with it.
I will find her sitting in it reading one of her books or hugging a doll. She just LOVES it too.
I would say it's safe to say that we both now treasure it.

You are amazing! What a great chair!
I don't know about amazing but I'll agree the chair is great :)Thanks!!
Seriously you are amazing... I only WISH I had a shred of your talent...that chair is stinkin cute...I would be the person in this scenario throwing the chair away because it was broke! :)
LOL Shelle. Well I sure appreciate your enthusiasm for my talents. I seriously love the kindness of everyone on here too. It makes me feel so much great!
Clever girl, you! I love it. I'm like Shelle, I would be the one who would throw away the chair because it's broken..LOL. And yes, I love your trash turned into treasure story.
Thanks for sharing Emily...you're inspiring me everyday to be a little more creative when I look at things I thought might be a lost cost.
Oh know - I had no idea I was making friends with someone creative. I just don't know if this will work Emily;o) I don't have a creative bone in my body!! I love what you have done with the chair though!! Perhaps your creativity will rub off on me!!
That is so cute! I need to go visit a thrift store...and make some fun things for my fam - way to go :)
Anjeny- I love that I am inspiring you. That is fabulous!! I am really trying to look at things differently now too. I used to waste a lot and now I am really trying to be better.
Jo- hahaha..you don't have to be creative to be my friend :) although I think you are. I saw that cute chalk board in your kitchen :)
Brit- thanks girl, !!!YES!!! Go check out some stores or dumpsters and see what you can find...hehe.
Wow! The chair is adorable. I completely lack vision for stuff like that. I'm quite jealous right now.
Destiny- thank you and seriously, it was sooo easy to do. Go to Goodwill or some garage sales, I'll bet you would find something awesome to redo ;)
Emily! I've been a fan of your artsy blog from day one. :) I even told Ben how impressed I was with how much you've accomplished in such a short amount of time. Nicely done!
There is something to be said about the sense of accomplishment that somes from a project such as your chair.
You can't buy that in a furniture store! Plus, it's over the moon charming and your daughter loves it!

Kim- thanks so much! And I am so glad you found me ;)
awwwww, that turned out so cute! you're so handy!~
All I can say is WOW! We are cousins AND share the same birthday, now why can't I get a tiny bit of your creativity?! You are an amazing woman.
OMGOSH! That is so darn cute I can't stand it. You are just like my sister Melanie. Exactly.
I am in Awe!
I loved the chair...The huge screen tv in the middle of a beautiful room was not pleasing....
I wish they would make them look better....
So, apparently the anonymous person thinks they are a decorator! The chair looks nice would have been enough of a comment, no need for the rest. Emily, I LOVE the chair, your "big" TV, and your gorgeous room!!!!!
Thanks T- I knew you'd have my back :) And yeah- whoever Anonymous is...get a life!!! Like your mother probably told you a million times... "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all!"
Oh and don't be a coward...tell us who you really are.
Great idea! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog- and I love yours!
:) Michelle
