So I did go to the flea market at lunch…and thank you Sara for pointing out that I had vowed to stay away from the flea market for a while. But my husband told me I had to go…lol…and I’m an obedient wife (yeah right!!) lol….
But seriously, yesterday he told me that the next time I was at the flea market (I ran for my keys and hit the door running – ok not really lol) anyway he said the next time I was at the flea market I should look for a couple more chairs for our breakfast room table. So I told him I could do that but I was trying to stay away from the flea market. He told me another place I could probably find chairs. I told him that I bet I could find chairs for under $10.00 a piece at my flea market. So of course I had the bug in my ear so I just couldn’t wait to go today. And I almost made my price too….I got two very nice padded heavy wrought iron chairs for $10.80 for each chair. They need some paint but the padding and cushions are in excellent shape. I probably could have gotten chairs for under $10.00. I actually had my eye on an $8.00 chair. But these were in the best shape – very heavy and sturdy (sister, they almost put me in the mind of the chairs that go with mom and dad’s new table and chair set).
I also picked up for $20.00 a very nice solid wood Lane coffee table. So after I made my purchases I took the coffee table out first to put in my car. I’m telling you what, if anyone was watching me they probably had a good laugh as I was trying to figure out the best way to put the coffee table in my car. It is longer than a regular coffee table so it wouldn’t fit in my trunk and I tend to see things as smaller than they really are because I quickly realized that I was delusional if I thought that that coffee table was going to fit thru that little pull down thingy into my car. So I ended up putting the front passenger seat in the recline position and the table is sort of kitty corner in my back and front seat. Then I went back in and got the chairs. Only one chair would fit in my trunk, although I tried many different positions to get both chairs in there… lol. I finally gave up and put the other chair on top of the table in the back/front seat. I was beginning the think that I would need to call dad to come rescue me with his truck but it all fit….yay!
So there’s my trip to the flea market….I’m going to try and finish up some work and then head home….ya’ll have a happy Wednesday!
