Killer Deals

I went to Oregon to drop off my daughter. She is spending 10 days with her grandparents. I am sure she is having oodles of fun, but I miss her xoxox.

I was only in OR a day but I had to run to Mr. Fosters in Dallas. I always find something amazing and CHEAP !!! Look at these sweet little glass bowls. Only a $1.00 each, the color is just beautiful. Some fun vintage fabric $2.00. But the killer deal, was thanks to my MIL. I was hoping to pick up a comfortable chair for our living room. I saw this strawberry pink velvet chair and they wanted $49.00, but it has a little stain and a tear. My MIL (who loves to barter, I do NOT) got them down to $10.00. Well how could I say no to that. It is very comfy, incredibly soft velvet, swivels and the scale is not too big for the room, I am over the moon. The little pillow is from Paula, thank you sweetie xoxoxo

Bargain hunting is my favorite sport! What a treat to score some pretty treasures that make you smile. Glad you had a safe trip.

That pink chair makes me laugh. I used to own a consignment store and some college boys came in and I only had a pink chair left to sell....They bought it for $19.95 and they lifted the cushion and found the largest bra on the planet...tee hee...I guess the owner left something behind...smiling from Bellingham...fun finds!

Dear Clarice,

I'm so glad you made it home safely~What a fun place to shop!

I know what you mean about missing the children when they're gone!

How will we ever survive when they all grow up and move away?

Love,

Wow, you sure did find some killer deals. I love the blue color in the bowls and that chair is fabulous. Getting the price down to $10 was a brilliant move on your mother-in-law's part.
