The Flower Girl

Let me start off by saying that it is a BEAUTY-FULL fall day! I love it when the sun shines!
Today we get to celebrate a bunch of birthdays on Jeff's side. Food, family, and fun.

Today's post is about a new chair named 'The Flower Girl.' She started as a $3.99 Goodwill chair which happened to be the color of the week, so I snagged her and her brother (no flower) up at about $2 each. What a deal! I payed $10 at Walmart for a canvas drop cloth which is 6'x9' so I'll have a lot of material left over. So by the time I finish the matching chair I'll have spent $7 a chair with a bunch of material to do other projects, I think that's a deal!

Here's how she looks now:

A much needed improvement on a wonderful little chair.
