The New Couch was Okay....
I bought a new couch and could not wait until it was delivered. I sold my old couch to a friend and patiently waited. I waited for 2 weeks and it was finally delivery day! They brought the couch in, set it in place and waited for my reaction. It was okay, it was just not what I expected. The couch was brown and the wall behind it was brown. It just did not have the impact I wanted. Don't get me wrong, it did what I wanted in the room which was to give me more, comfortable seating....It just was not as breathtaking as I had imagined. After a few weeks of fluffing and new pillow buying, the couch started to grow on me. Then it hit me, I needed to have some kind of dish or platters about the couch along the windows! I have a few that I was planning on selling and I knew exactly where to get more. The next morning I went to my friend Amy at the Funky Monkey and she of course had just what I was looking for. Mom had the plate holders and now I was in business. I am much, much happier with the couch and the room now. This was just the touch I needed to get the effect I had hoped for.

Denis, I know exactly how you are feeling. The same happened to me this weekend. I just left it until I could spend more time on it. I guess Hico is coming up real soon. There is a new vendor going that I wanted to stop and see her things, Nancy @ http://housewrenaustin.blogspot.com/, but I'll be working on my surprise that I've been aluding to so I won't make it. Hope you have a sell out day, T
