saving amazing chairs..

So at the end of the summer I bought three metal chairs
for our backyard. they weren't the best colors but
they are just my style.
for all three chairs i paid $25 then found out for the price
of one new one at lowes it was $25.
being crafty sure does cut down on costs.:)

this picture is of all three chairs.
the non matching chair had the most rust and i am still working on
getting into better looking condition.
however the other two got a wipe down some sanding and
a new vibrant coat of spray paint.
i love mixing crazy colors for backyard decor so that is what is happening.

this is chair number one which is a bright teal!:)
this color makes our whole backyard a brighter spot to hang.
this color covered the hunter green really easily and with paint left over.
[please forgive the ugly yellow paper in the teal chair picture]

i really wanted a yellow chair so i bit the bullet of many coats with this chair.
it was worth it. i love these colors together.
the third chair will be a bright green and creme color.

i hope this post encourages you to try and find something old
and reuse it rather than just going out and buying something new bc its easy.

worlds largest??

well at the end of september my momma came to visit.
i flew home for one day then the next morning drove with my
mom back to pittsburgh. we did this to clean out some stuff from
her house and turn it into $$$. which means watch
out there is a huge yard sale on its way to the burgh!:)

so on our way to pittsburgh we stopped at maybe 4 or 5 places.
the above picture was one of them.
see what the sign says..i hate to say this but for this gal that sign is a lie.
flea market means old old stuff..well not at this place located in ky.
it was full of fake gucchi purses and puppy mill puppies
and just super redneck new yucky things. i was grossed out.
i did buy two pins one for shea it is a banjo the other is the
state of alabama and it's GREEN. anyways don't go to the
"the most awesome flea market in the world" if you are looking for vintage
or antique bc you will not find much of it there.

this is a pic of baby a and i at reuse pittsburgh.
it is probably one of my top favorite places in the burgh.
i love crafts and i love deals and this place has both.
i have been inspired and surprised everytime i stop by there.

so now that you have some info on two new places.
one of which you can find yucky junk
the second you can find amazing creative junk..my favorite!:)
