The Missing Piece

I have a beautiful wrought-iron etagere which I had bought in Tunisia. It has made it through so many moves, but this time, I haven’t been able to put it together. It has glass shelves, and two iron pieces that hold the braces together, one at the top and one in the middle.

We had the sides, the top and all the glass shelves. I couldn’t put it together. Well, I could, but without the one wrought-iron piece to keep it from slipping apart, the glass shelves would slip out and crash and break. I’ve gone through all the boxes. I’ve gone to the garage and looked and looked.

AdventureMan had a project this week; he wants our garage to be ORGANIZED. He wants to know where things are. (I fully support him in this and commend his efforts, especially when Pensacola is HOT and HUMID and he is out there in the garage toting boxes here and there, putting up shelving, figuring out what will go and what will stay – it is a BIG job.)

“I have something special for you,” he said, and slipped the wrought iron bar in my hand. He always knows what I like. 🙂

  2. I will have to take a photo of the garage, although AM just finished getting it organized and now has decided to buy two canoes. and we know just where they need to be stored – and everything has to move again. Today we donated seven boxes of books to the Friends of the Library for their next sale . . .:-) Little by little we are eating this elephant, and getting organized! Wooo HOOOO!
