Amazing Thrift Store Find.

I love this swing. It is on our patio and I often drink morning coffee
while sitting there.

It is the third season for it to be out and it is getting a little worn.

When I was out thrifting this week I found this Quilt.

It was dirty and in a plastic bag at the Habitat for Humanity Restore.

and guess how much it cost?

$2.00 !


Can you believe it??
How fast do you think I picked that thing up??
I brought it home and machine washed it on "handwash".
I machine dryed it on "delicate".

Isn't it beautiful??
Not a rip or stain on it.
As you know I love a bargain.
I have 2 other projects on my plate now...
One involving a trunk and one with a $3.00 chair.
The chair came home from the Restore with me on the same
day as the quilt.
I'll show you those before and afters in a day or two.
OH, Yes, Happy MOTHERS DAY sweet friends !!

  4. You found the perfect quilt for your swing, it works perfectly...the design lines up so well! We think alike in away. I bought a 'clearance' quilt and used it on my porch glider.
