Going...Going...Gone!

When we got married, Derick's aunt and uncle gave us these 2 basket chairs. They were used, but still in perfect condition. We called them basket chairs, but I think their official name is a papasan chair. Anyway, they were our furniture for the past 6 years! We finally got new couches and got rid of the chairs. We gave one away and listed the other on KSL. Most of these chairs out there are the single ones, but we had a double one. These things brand new online were up to $600!! So we list it on KSL for $100 and within two days got TONS of calls on it. I guess that is a steal! The poor kid who we ended up selling it to had a Camry that he was trying to fit it into. I guess it was hanging halfway out his trunk when he left and he had a half hour drive on the freeway to get home! Oh well, it was gone, we had a lot more room in our family room and we also had $100 (a $50 bill, a BUNCH of ones and a TON of quarters). We took some pictures enjoying the chair one last time before it was gone!

PS I didn't realize it was so big until I looked at the full-length picture with Derick and Ashley.
