A little bit of blue

It was time for some new seat cushions for the back porch furniture.  I decided to go with something blue to go with our blue wicker.

 I got these from a place in Sanford, NC called Arden Company.  Believe it or not, the cushions were only $2.00 each!  Arden has a sale once a year in May.  I found out about it from my sister-in-law who lives in Sanford and I've been wanting to check it out for years.  It's in a huge warehouse filled with all kinds of lawn and porch furniture cushions and pillows, all sizes and shapes.  Unbelievably low prices!  We had to wait in line about 20 minutes to get in, but a small price to pay, wouldn't you say for bargain prices like these.  

So I am thrilled with my new cushions.  And Otis is finding them quite comfortable.  

A wicker courting chair

You're not going to believe what I found curbside the other day when I was on my way to the grocery store. I spotted this wicker chair set out for the trash only a block away from our house, and I couldn't believe my eyes! Since I couldn't pull over and I was so excited I almost lost control of the car, I circled the block and came back then pulled off the side of the road.



I got out of the car and walked over to this beauty. Oh, I loved it! So now I just have to get it in the car. Easier said then done. I tried the trunk, the back seat and the front seat. Wouldn't fit. Ok, I'll just call dear hubby (and since I could see our house from where I was standing) I'm sure he will come and carry it home for me.

And that's exactly what he did. Sweet hubby carried it on his back all the way home.

And now I have this gorgeous wicker courting chair (sometimes called a kissing chair) sitting on the back porch until I decide where I want to put it. I have plans to paint it too.

This has to be one of my best finds. I'm absolutely thrilled with it!!
