Greetings from Bobs Furniture!

After a week off – I returned to work on Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. and left at 7:30 p.m.  I don’t put in 12 hour days every day – but it’s not unusual either.

Before you think I’m complaining – I’m not.  I’m grateful to 1.) have a job and 2.) work for an organization who is truly making a difference in the lives of area children and families (like Megan – click here to read her story).

Additionally, my position allows me to connect with amazing donors (have some quality used furniture you no longer need and live in, or near, DuPage County, IL?  Click here), fabulous volunteers (thinking you’d like to give back to the community by volunteering a few hours each week?  Click here), and very special customers (want to read what customers are saying about Bobs Furniture?  Click here).

The store is chock-full of fantastic furniture – again!  We’re open today (Friday) from 1 to 8 and tomorrow (Saturday) from 9 to 4 and what follows are just a FEW of the new-to-us items which were donated this week:

this is a lovely set by Kincaid – there’s a full or queen size head board, foot board and side rails priced $75; one night stand for $35; large dresser with mirror that goes on top of narrow three drawer piece (it’s sitting in front of it in the photo – the mirror was too heavy for me to lift onto the base by myself) priced $125; tall chest of drawers is $85 – fun “crystals” in hardware adds a touch of shine and makes the pieces less masculine

Though I hit the ground running on my first day back after vacation – I was still tired when I got home.  You see I not only worked 12 hours but I also aged a year!
