Ready for a BBQ

Remember my garage sale patio chairs? {see here} Well I finished them! and just in time for a family BBQ tomorrow afternoon! I love them! $10 well spent! Plus some spray paint.
                                               Before:

First I spray painted the arms and legs white, then I saran wrapped them.

Then I spay painted the body Apple Green.

Ta-da! So cute!

When I spotted these at a garage sale and was so excited about them, Adam was not, at all. I think he said something like, "Are you kidding me? You're serious? You want those?.." Then grumbled the whole time while loading them in the car. I think he likes them now :0)

Our lush green grass that you see is hardly that. What it is, is a complete swamp! Today Adam weed whacked it because it was about knee high, not kidding.

I already had this Apple Green and White patio set. My mom got it for us as a wedding gift. Now our new chairs match perfectly!

I went to Fuchsia Days at Fred Meyer and got some flowers. Ranunculus, my favorite!

What's a party without flamingos!?

My new wind chime that the Easter bunny got me.

 

Happy Spring
We're now set for a party!

Recent Yard Sale Finds

I think I've found some treasures lately. This past weekend it wasn't raining so Adam and I ventured out to some sales. I found these fabulous metal patio chairs, only $5 each {wait till you see them made-over, coming soon!} This cute little dresser for only $7 {again, make-over coming soon!} These cute white vases, only $0.25 each! Last, but not least, this super fun metal tray that the vases are sitting on for only $1! I am most excited about my new patio chairs though. I have been admiring these, and even found some similar that were at a boutique in downtown Bend last summer. They were awesome, but over $100, each! I can't wait to share how fabulous they are looking now!
1 more find to share: My new, old, kitchen scale! I've been wanting to get a kitchen scale, but wanted an antique/vintage scale that was cute enough to leave out. Of course I wanted a pink one, but my only luck of finding a vintage pink scale was a baby one. I had been searching eBay for one and found this one. Perfect! Except I didn't order this from eBay, I found it at a local antique store for only $15! {The cheapest on eBay was about $18 + $13 shipping} Deal for me!
