4th trade: leather sofa and glass coffee table - ????


 My momma always said, "Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." ~ Forrest Gump
One exciting aspect of our project has been that don't know what we will end up with next. We traded seven nails for two awesome strollers and we thought surely these would be snapped up. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

 We adjusted our plan and donated the strollers to Sarah's House (a mother-child residential parenting Program) through Florence Crittenton Services of North Carolina. This organization offers one of the largest comprehensive residential pregnancy programs in the US. To learn more about Sarah's house and how you can help this great organization please visit www.fcsnc.org or give them a call at 704-372-4663.
For the fourth trade, Jenna MacFarlane is offering her coffee table and leather sofa.

This coffee table has and will fit anywhere. It has been the center of my gallery when I showed paintings in NoDa and held my students' work for the years since I've been teaching graphic design at CPCC. Stories, grades, critiques, laughter and tears have been shared over it's reflective glass surface. Being swapped up to a rooftop is its next big adventure. 

To imagine a coffee table one day becoming a house for a family and to donate the strollers to an agency that helps families has been a rich and satisfying step in my life. Will you be the next person to make a trade that will eventually make a family home?
