Short person collection and visitor...

Other people collect things like aprons, antiques, and cookie jars.  I collect foot stools.  Mainly because I am short.  Not only am I short in stature, I am short armed and short legged as well.  On most chairs my feet do not rest on the floor and my legs become numb so I have foot stools everywhere.

The littlest footstool on the right enables me to climb onto my very high bed.

I am always on the lookout for needlepoint pieces at thrift stores because some of my footstools are reminders of Morris's puppyhood.

Not only do I collect footstools I have a good many step ladders...(short person syndrome)  I especially like little vintage wooden ones.  But my favorite functional stool is this one from Harbor Freight. for less than $20.. It rolls about like a dream and is great for doing things on a low level without getting down on my knees.  If you have a bad back or bad knees you REALLY need one of these!!!!!

Susie Wolfe is here visiting and we've  been so busy stitching... I should have some pictures up tomorrow... It has been bitterly cold and we have been staying close to the fire..  Molly is keeping Susie's bed warm.
