Money Does Not Grow on Trees
(money is not easily obtained)
I can't wait to show you the fabric I found for the drapes in the living room and dining room. I saw the perfect carpeting for the family room, too. Now we just need to pick out some furniture.
Hold it! We just paid a hefty sum of money for the down payment on the house. The landscaping also cost a bundle. We'll have to take it easy for a while. After all, money does not grow on trees.
I know that money is not easy to come by, but where will we sit if we have no furniture?
What's wrong with our old furniture?
It won't match the new carpeting and drapes!
Then we'll just have to sit on the floor.
