Here's how I did it.......As usual, I prayed to find an affordable dining set like the one I saw...

I know that it is not luck that has led me to so many great deals this year, but it's God supplying our needs and wants for our home for a fraction of the retail...

Have a nice night everyone, and maybe Blogger will be kinder to us tomorr...
