I tweeted about it and no one believed me until I also showed a picture of the receipt. Shucks, I couldn't believe it myself. I got outta there so fast because it was just a great deal I felt like I stole something...It's still sitting in my family room in its original condition. Looking forward to you post.

Look for that one soon!<br /><br />Naomi- I should clarify that the chairs are not completely uncomfortable. They are nice chairs and totally fine for sitting in for shorter periods of time. They are most definitely not for lounging though, especially for a bigger person (like a tall man for example is usually super uncomfortable looking in the chairs). No good for a tv room, but perfect for a front room/conversation room situation. I'm sure your client's chairs will be lovely!!<br /><br />xxJenny at LGNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425576060240501896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-29713259413801429872011-06-20T14:01:39.854-04:002011-06-20T14:01:39.854-04:00Oh no!

I am sure a lot has to do with my area but do you search for specific items (by name, brand, etc) or do you just search general and go through every post? I am sure the latter would probably yield more results but I am sure it probably takes a good amount of time to go through.
