The two-year drama of searching for Shermag chairs has finally ended, as of fifteen minutes ago! After buying the wrong type of chairs to complete our dining set last year, I halfheartedly kept an eye on Craigslist while I was pregnant. After Lucy was born, since I had more free time to surf the internet while nursing her, I renewed my search full force. By sheer luck, in July I found a lady on Craigslist in Stowe, Vermont (the place where the Von Trapps came to America!) who was willing to sell her chairs to me. I had to agree to buy all six of her chairs, though, which was fine. I'm actually excited to have all of these chairs, because we now have four side chairs (and we have only been able to find arm chairs ("captain's chairs") before this point).
Although there was a slight bit of drama in getting the PayPal payment to go through to this woman (which involved me getting on the phone with PayPal and the shipper while at the Hi-Mountain diner in Kamas while vacationing), everything worked out. And now, unbelievably, we have an overabundance of these discontinued Shermag chairs.
Come over to eat with us sometime! We can seat ten people at our house now, and you don't even have to be a midget so as to wedge your legs between counter-height chairs and the standard-height table top like before!

Hooray! I love that you were negotiating the deal from Kamas. Persistence pays off :)
Hurrah!! I'm very glad for you. Maybe one day we'll get to make and eat a feast together at your house.
Buddy, you crazy! But I am super excited that you conquered! Well done, well done indeed.
