From Trash to Treasure


Look what I found at a yard sale for only $22! It caught my eye first thing and I knew I had to have it for the library, more seating you know. It needs tightening up, but the colors match perfectly and I'll make some big comfy pillows for it, I love it! It's amazing how all my treasures have just come my way for this house, it's almost like they were meant to be here. Yard sale season is still pretty good around here, but in just a few short weeks that season too will come to a end, always sad to say goodbye to all the hunts! But, thankfully, we have thrift stores, junk shops and flea markets that are open year round! One woman's trash is anothers treasure, and my new house is full of new treasures!

  2. Wow Sue; I love your bench, and what a great price. You need to show us when you get all settled in and with its new pillows.

  3. What a great find, Sue! And it came in the perfect color. I don't get to go to yard sales very often, but I love the Goodwill and thrift stores!

  8. What a great find. Are those your cushions? Or did it come with it. Wish I was there to hunt around with you.

  9. To answer a couple of questions real fast, it came just as it appears here, cushions and all. And yes, I'll take a photo after I add some pillows. Thanks to all!
