Resting my feet

The weather here is still hot...and I do mean hot. At 8 PM last evening it was still 105 and the overnight was 90. Today may be around 109. Just too hot to trot my friends. But--- yesterday Glenda and I decided while having our morning coffee that we would go foot stool shopping.
 I knew that I did not want to try to find a new style and so off to antique shopping. Glenda spotted this gently used footstool and it is perfect!
Just the right height and size for my stitching chair and look.....
it opens with a storage area. It is in great condition and only needs some bees wax to clean it up and at this point I do not plan to recover the gently used padding. A good friend a good shopping time and a good find. What more can a gal ask for.
I have several Denny's Angels waiting for their halos then a starching so that is my goal this day and I really must make some Pizzelles...got to have my Pizzelles for the week. I have the air conditioning people coming at 7 AM to replace the circuit board in the unit and here it is 6 and greeting Brent in my pjs is not a pretty sight. So, as much as I would love to sit and chat I need to get dressed and ready for my visitor.  Thank you for the kind words that you send and for your wonderful friendship.
Tomorrow is September 1st...and that means only 18 more days to The Brother Alan arrival!

That's definitely a good ind. And that little storage place underneath the lid isn't bad either. Your shopping time was wisely spent.

Love the tiny footstool. Just the perfect size and it's so pretty. Neat that it has a little storage area as well. I do hope the heat will let up for you. We had a very hot and humid summer here, and it's good to be seeing September here. You take care.

Gracie: Beautiful foot stool, I think the older furniture is better made nowadays so many things do not last, you have a wonderful find.
I hope your air conditioning does get fixed fast.
I bet you look cute in your jammies.
