I love to go to yard sales. This past Saturday I felt like I got a find. Before heading out on the town we decided to go across the street and see what they had to offer. To those of you who do not venture out early on Saturday mornings to get a "Deal", let me just tell you, "You never know what you might find."
Usually, I am only looking for specific items but lately it has been yard stuff. You know...flower pots and tools. I really do not need anything else. I try not to buy anything I do not need. I will admit I sometimes walk away with things that I don't need but those items are usually free.
Back to my deal. None of the items were priced and there was a strong stench of cat pee in the air. Needless to say I tried not to touch anything because I was not sure where the smell was coming from. Well, I spotted a glider rocker with a questionable cover on it. I felt for sure that it was more than I wanted to spend, but I just had to ask. Honestly, I got really excited about this chair when she said $5. Oh Yeah!!! I was not sure where I was going to put it, but I have always wanted one. Good thing the sale was across the street from our house because it probably would not have fit in the car. Here is a picture of the item we walked away with.
After getting it home, I washed the cushions. I then set out the make some new covers. I remembered I had some remnants of blue upholstery fabric. It did not take long. In about 45 minutes I had transformed the ugly faded denim covers into something a little more attractive, and spending no more money. Yeah!!
