Do the happy dance with me! You KNOW you want to!!

So, today was spent doing a little furniture shopping. WHAT? Well, you know...we sold our house! And bought a new one! WOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!! Come one now...you know you want to do the happy dance with me!
OK...now sit down and keep reading my blog!!

We'll be moving in September. So, I've been searching craigslist for furniture, paintings, etc. This morning I was cruising around and saw a "too good to be true" type ad, but I called about it. Well...here's what happened.
45x36 framed print 40x35 painting 42x30 painting
chairs for our classroom table...they only had 3, but I snagged the stool my cutie pie is sitting on for our 4th chair. These are a little scratched...oh...no...ummm...guess I'll have to spend a few bucks to paint the scuff marks!















and an armchair that everyone may hate...but I fell in love with...
I tried to upload a close up of the fabric, but blogger is really tired of uploading pictures for this post and keeps giving me an error. The fabric is covered in "old world" style postcards.
So...all this essentially new (it was from the closeout of a few model homes) furniture for the bargain price of...
$80!!!
It was just $10 per piece I bought. (yes, that means I did leave some for other bargain hunters) The stool still has a price tag on the bottom from Linens n' Things for $39.99 and the paintings have price tags on the back that are from $59.99 to $119! You should have seen me cramming this in my van! The lady that helped me was amazingly spatial...thank heavens!!!
So, in honor of my bargains, and, of course...my sold home...scroll back to the top of my post and join Snoopy and me in another happy dance!
