some grow, some don't

another picture of another batch of celery and romaine ends- trying to be regrown in saucers of water

there were all started within a few days of each other.  

One Romaine took off growing and looks great,  it has been planted outdoors and continues to grow. 

But the other 4 didn't grow a bit

the celery is trying to grow in the center- but I have no guess on whether or not it will

in the background,  I was making  a big salad for Saturday supper.   

Yes, I saved those romaine ends too

Thrift store dining room table found ........

Our dining room has the strangest shape but it still needs to seat a big group.

See how the window wall is on an angle and the back wall closes off the space with a curve, I would change both of those if I could. 

I got this old heavy handmade trestle table at my favorite thrift store this morning.

Before I found this one, i thought I wanted a longer table than this 6 footer. 

But once I got it home and set up, I could see our 9 dining chairs fit around it just right. A longer table would just take up more room than we really have to spare anyway. 

The price of this one was really good too - $70

I would prefer a different table cloth but none of mine were long enough so I will be on the lookout for a pretty floral length of fabric to sew one up. 

I am really thankful for good thrift stores!
