Be a Habitat Hero

This seems to be the time of year where we are focusing a little more on giving and serving others.  And there are so many who can benefit from our gift of service.
Four awesome bloggers are getting together to host a service drive (and linky party) called Habitat Heros (without the "e") and everyone is invited to be involved. 

Here is Cassie from Primitive and Proper with all the details:

Link Party Name:  Habitat Heros

Dates:  October 20 through November 20

Host Blogs:  Julia from 551 East Furniture Design, Cassie from Primitive and Proper, Jacqueline from Simple Home Life, and Katie from Wildwood Creek.  The link party will connect through all four host blogs.

Many of us purchase furniture from thrift stores and then paint, restore, and sell those pieces for a profit.  

Refinishing furniture is hard work and many of us are trying to make a living off of our work. With that said, I understand that this is asking a sacrifice of people, especially with the economy, but with everyone's help we could bless so many families lives.  Imagine how awesome it would be to walk into a thrift store and see a beautiful piece of furniture that you could afford!  Everyone deserves a beautiful and safe home.

This is a great opportunity to give to those in need and give back to the stores where we purchase our thrifty finds.

I am so excited to join with you and restore a piece of furniture to be donated to one of the stores mentioned above.

Thanks for joining the party!

Thanks, Cassie for all the details!  (And thanks to Julia from 551 East Furniture Design who invited me to participate in this worthwhile project.)  I've donated many things over the years to thrift stores but I have never refinished a piece of furniture and then donated it.  I'm excited to do it!  How about you?
