Bargain Find!

Friday I went down to the Dogwood Festival (local Arts & Crafts).  On the way to town I saw a side-of-the-road sale.  You know those that don't qualify as garage or yard sales...just side-of-the-road sale.  Well being unemployed and all I wasn't pressed for time so I decided to stop.  They had beautiful flowers for sale and lots of odds and ends.  As I was searching for new crafts to do I came across this:

(notice it is already in the back of my car)

A small bench that someone has graciously already taken the bench seat off of.  I carried it around for a few minutes trying to find whoever it was that I was needing to pay. 

$5 dollars later I had a new bench to paint and recover.

I already had the paint and Wal-Mart was having its Fabric Sale that day too.  Could this all be a sign?  Off to Wal-Mart I go...and find this for a $1.50/yd and all I needed was one yard:

So cute fabric to match all the bright colors of the office.

I started the project on Friday night with a little help from my wonderful fiance.  Here he is pulling the billions of tacks someone put in this seat.

Watch for completed $6.50 project post coming soon....
