FREE by the roadside

Driving home one day, I spotted a garage sale in progress about 1 mile from our house. Note to self: "While daddy's putting the boys down for a nap, I'll ride my bike over and check it out". Self forgot the note. Later that night we are driving home when in the darkness I think I see the silhouette of furniture. I tell Tim to "STOP" and I hit the dashboard. Tim thinks we're about to crash some unsuspecting deer. However, I also spotted what looked like could be a FREE sign. With lots of black spray paint and some new fabric to cover the cushions.... here's my dining room table set!

Sitting in my dining room all finished!

  1. I got your card today when I bought some headbands from you at the WHS Craft Show, so when I was checking out all your crafty things in your blog I come across this one...That was our garage sale :) Looks great! The set was free to us 7 yrs ago glad to see someone else take advantage of it! :)
