Spring has Sprung
This chair was rescued recently from a back room of the local St. Vincent de Paul thrift store.  It was being used by folks trying on used shoes and was in pretty rough condition although it was still sturdy.  I brought it home, cleaned it up and went to work giving it a major face lift.

I was inspired by the beautiful spring weather we have been having recently which brought to mind a cute little poem I learned as a child.

"Spring has sprung,
The grass is riz,
I wonder where the birdie is,
The birdie's place is on the wing,
Now isn't that a funny thing,
I always thought the wing was
On the birdie."

The poem was thought to be written by Ogden Nash, but now they think the author is unknown.  Anonymous.




The chair in it's original condition.

I donated the chair to the Safety Harbor Library Chairity event to help them raise money for the library. I am pleased and honored to be included in this opportunity to serve my community in this small way.
