Today, Liz and I met some really cool people/neighbors, Stephen and Amanda Jerkins. She's a wedding stylist/flora designer and he's a photographer. I love to meet young creatives.

On our way home from some errands, we passed a small cardboard sign that advertised a garage sale just off our route home. Im not sure what got into me, or how I even noticed it, but I was in the mood to mill around someone else's leftovers.

You might say we hit it off. And if our professions didn't lay the foundation, the sign that read "Free Scrap Wood" at the top of their yard certainly wooed me.

And while I want you to know about these two people and their work, I also want you to know that with their scrap wood, I've made two new pieces of furniture.


Endtables! They both look like this... I just need to get some white porcelain hardware for it and it will be complete.

I think I'm addicted to creating in this medium. I keep trying to figure out how I can start building furniture for other people and make a business out of it. I mean... how awesome would that be!
