WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS. . .


Refinish! That's what Amber did when she realized that her kitchen table was too small to accommodate her dinner guests. . .this belongs under the "Household Hints," category, but anyway here goes -- my niece got a call that old friends were coming to town. . .not just coming to town, but coming to check out her culinary skills which she had bragged about for years. . .just one small problem. . .her "dining" table only had enough room for two chairs - so maybe it was more like a "couples' table."

Anyway, after scouring the furniture stores and realizing that a new dinette set didn't quite fit into her grad student budget. . .she struck out this bright sunny Saturday morning in search of the perfect table. . .and guess what? She found it in her neighbor's driveway. . .at a garage sale!

She quickly went into "Martha Stewart" mode and refinished the entire set in one day!! And she topped it off with a jar full of what else- lemons! Because she learned when she was a little girl that "When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade."

Can't wait to see what she serves for dinner!
