My Heart Did a Tap Dance

This is the exact chest!
Sarah, Linda and Bob got so much done today!  Bob filled the bed of his truck with thrift store stuff and Sarah and Linda have another huge pile started for the next trip.  The "storage" junk room is 80% empty, and swept up.  Out of the entire large room, Linda has only saved a tiny portion.  Mostly old photos, a few presents Tier and Taylor made her when they were little and some cross stitch pictures she made and had framed. (Those are still a "maybe get rid of" though.) Best of all, they uncovered Linda's Mom's bridal Cedar Lane Hope Chest.  It's in perfect condition, still has the tags and original stickers inside from 1952.  When they opened it,  Linda's tiny baby mittens and fur hand warmers were inside.  Plus, it still smells exactly like fresh cedar!  She is going to research how much they are selling for.  There is still much to be done, but it feels so good to her to have so much finished, her heart did a tap dance!
