      My grandmother had a stepstool/chair combo just like in your guide! It brings back such happy memories =) Great find! It was a pleasure working with you on the Complete Shopping Guide!

      This list should be my wish list. Unfortunately, I am the only one in my circle who loves vintage. No one understands me.

      I can't wait to start clicking through the gift guides to get inspiration for my family, friends, and coworkers' gifts. However, your gift guide will be inspiration for stuff that I want! 😉

        Yeah, I basically went shopping for myself and disguised it as a guide for other people on my list 🙂

        I have an original one that I found at a barn sale, but if I didn't have that one I'd grab up the new shiny one in a heartbeat! I use it more for displaying things than actually sitting on it 🙂

      These gift guides are a wonderful idea. I an't wait to check out all of them. I know there will be so many gift ideas that I'd never find myself. And such an easy way to shop. Thanks so much.

        Thanks Karen! I've made it through about 20 of them so far this morning and have gotten quite a few ideas I never would have thought of myself!
