Barb H., from Sisters' Garden, is such an amazing soul... So giving... So sweet.... We
arrived later than we had hoped, on Friday, and Barb had to leave... but, made sure Deb, gave this book to me... What a Sweet Heart... I love it...
I have known Barb, for years....I was telling Allyson, about the first time I had met Barb H.... My dear friend Geri, and I were headed to
Wellman, Iowa, for an Estate Sale... We were
flyin'... I was driving an old, 79 Ford Bronco....
Wellman is about 60 miles from my door, we were running late, so the hammer was down... We were on
Hiway 1, and as we were passing the farm houses, like pickets on a fence, I spied an old wardrobe, sitting
outside an old farm house.... I slammed on the brakes... then, put the gas petal to the floor... no time to stop! Geri thought I had lost my mind... I
explained to her,what I had just seen, and we Had to stop, on the way home! The Estate Sale was uneventful... The Farm House, on H
iway 1, well... that was priceless... It turned out to be Sisters' Garden...The rest is history... I bought the massive Amish Wardrobe, but, no way would it fit in the Bronco... So, when I came back to get it, Barb H. and I had a long chat... I had just opened my Store, she said, she would have to come see it... She, and her sweet husband, Brent, did.... We talked and talked... She asked, if I had any Harvest tables.... Sadly, I had just sold my favorite one, ever... I was going to keep it... but... alas... bills...bills...
She said, she had wished we would have met sooner... She had just bought a wonderful one, in Marion, that she loved... but... it was pricey... she said, it sounds like, she would have loved mine, as much.... I stood there, for a moment.... And then asked..."where in Marion, did you buy the table?..." She said, "Country, Country...."..... I said, "Country Corner?"..... "Yeah, that's it..."... I stood there, another moment.... " Ah.... That was my table..." I had sold it to my friend Gary, who consigned it, at Country Corner.... We were both shocked.... I have since visited it, at Barb's home... It's incredibly Happy there...along with the most KILLER PIE SAFE,
STEPBACK CUPBOARD!!!! She had better will that back to me....
She is an amazing Girl... I Love Her So....
The
resemblance... is uncanny... Oh my....

Tell John Happy Birthday!
That is remarkable-the tale of two tables which were actually one and the same. Talk about coming full circle when you two became friends. I love how our paths can cross-divine intervention. Everything has its season-a purpose under heaven. Love your stories. Please keep 'em coming! Luv~Betty
