We had a busy weekend! Friday I had the day off because I had to work most of the day of Saturday! So I went to town to run errands and I met Sam for lunch! We usually see each other atleast once a week and I didn't think I would see her this weekend and I hadn't really talked to her either last week so I wanted to meet her for lunch to catch up! Friday night Stefan and I went to the Franks for dinner and to just hang out! Lindsay & I made deserts to take to the Pipp's Saturday night for Erin's birthday cookout! After work on Saturday I went to my Parents' because I was bored, the Franks were there swimming, and Stefan was golfing! When I got there Me, Mom, & Lindsay went to Unique Finds N' Furniture outside of Hopedale. It's a little family owned store where they find old furniture and redo it and sell it! Lindsay & Mom have been there before and saw a kitchen table and chairs and thought it would be perfect to put in our dining room. So we went out there so I could look at it and I fell in love with it and the best part...it was only $60!! That's an awesome deal for a table and 4 chairs! So I called Stefan to get the okay from him and he came out to meet us to look at it and he liked it too!
The only issue is the fabric on the seats they redid are blue and white so since that doesn't match our dining room we are changing out the fabric! I feel bad because they took the time to redo them and now we are changing them! I have NO idea what to change them to! I want them to be a bright color I think to add color to that room! So I will be visiting Hobby Lobby in my future
Lindsay & I saw a couple long benches they had sitting outside that they had just picked up to redo and we asked for the price on those and since they hadn't touched them she just gave them to us...WIN!! So we are going to clean ours up a bit and also put it in our dining under our decal and I want to put pictures or something to sit on it! I'm not sure yet! We were EXTREMELY late to Pipp's for Erin's cookout because of the table! So I asked Stef to finish cooking for me while I finished getting ready! I love a man in an apron! (:
The cookout was SO fun! it was just our family and a couple of Erin's friends! It was nice to be able to sit around and eat, drink, talk, and play bags! I made her this cross as a gift for her birthday! She really liked it and sent me a picture of it last night already hanging in her living room! I am preparing a DIY post on how I made this! Hopefully if my laziness doesn't butt in this week it should be up this week!
Yesterday morning we got up early and went to the 3rd Sunday Market with Lindsey G, The Pipp's, & The Franks! We had a lot of fun with them!
We originally weren't going to go because of money issues, but they told us to go and not buy anything...YEAH RIGHT! That's easy for Stef to do but not me! So we went and only bought 1 thing...
We bought these adorable Mickey & Minnie Salt & Pepper shakers! They were only $5 and at the markets and Craft shows you never buy anything full price! So I put Stefan to the test and told him to ask the guy if he would take them for $3 and if he doesn't we put them back! This was their conversation...
Stefan: "Will you take these for $3?"
The Old Man: "No, but I will take $4"
Stefan: "Okay!"
Seriously Stef? It's like buying a car...if they won't take what you want then you walk away and sometimes they will say "okay i will take that" then you win! It was only a dollar difference so I didn't say much to Stefan about it, but if he's going to keep coming with me to these craft shows then he needs some serious training!
We saw this really old cabinet that we want for our dining room to put wine and glasses in it! It was almost $400 so that wasn't going to happen! But we loved it so I snapped a picture to show my Dad to see if it's something he could build for us someday!
We also found this Chandelier! It's so pretty! When I saw it, I thought it would be perfect for our dining room! We both loved it so the Pipps bought it for us as a house warming gift! (: It was only $10!! I couldn't believe it! I didn't want to ask what the price was when I was looking at it because I was afraid it would be too much but I couldn't believe it was $10! I didn't even think to ask if it worked but Lindsey G did and they said it works! When we got it home, I cleaned it up really good and we need to light bulbs then we will hang it! I can't wait to see how it looks!
After the Market we went to lunch at Monical's and Tyler met us! We were all starving and getting tired! When Stefan and I got home we decided to watch movies and nap because we were pooped! When I woke up Stef had left for his softball game so I ended up sleeping for 3 hours! (: I got up, did some stuff around the house and made dinner before Stef got home and we watched TV the rest of the night! It was a fun and relaxing Sunday Funday and weekend altogether! (:
