What a find!?

As I already stated, I found a great chair on Monday afternoon and it was only $4.99. What originally attracted me to it was of course the color. But, I am also a fan on anything with a cane back. The challenge is that as you can see there is not a real seat. Although Jeff thinks it is ridiculous to buy half a chair, I see this as a chance to personalize it. In fact, I plan on selecting the world's greatest fabric for it this weekend. I am open to suggestions on how create a seat for my seat.

Speaking of deals...one goal we have this year is to redo the backyard because right now it is just scary. With no real budget to speak of and dreams of green grass, a bbq area, twinkle lights, and a collection of vintage tables, I started to think. Since I was home all day by myself I actually had time to think...novel. What I did was post under the yard/garden section on Craigslist and advertise that I would barter marketing labor for landscaping labor. Well, in just a few short hours I got a call. I'm excited about my new new landscaper buddy who seems to be very good at what he does and easy to work with. I'm going to create a plan for his marketing and web site and he is going to create a plan for my yard! I can hardly believe it...looks like a win-win. More backyard shenanigans to report later.
