Great Finds

Right before school started my friend Candee and I hit up some garage sales. I was on the lookout for two things. A chair for our computer desk and a baby exersaucer. Well, I was successful! With a few more great finds too :)

When I walked in the door with this chair that I paid $1 for, (yes only $1)Pat was a little disgusted. He clearly couldn't see my vision. I reassured him it would be clean and was small enough to fit under the the desk. He just smiled and said, "uh huh." With a little left over paint and $4 worth of fabric from Joann's, this is how my $5 chair turned out.




And I did find a good deal on a little jumperoo for Ledger. He constantly wants to be standing. I didn't think he'd be quite ready for this, but what do ya know? Stuff a little towel in the seat with him to help keep him upright and he loves it!


The other day, he jumped for about 45 minutes and this is what I found... all tuckered out.

    Soooo cute! My daughter is about a week and a half older than your little man so I will definitely have to put together our jumperoo for her we borrowed from a friend! I didn't think she was ready for it but she loves standing too. I even pulled out our bumbo from the attic when I saw Ledger in one from a post you made a couple months back and thought she was too young for it but she loved it! Nice job on the chair too!

    Love Amy

    Wow I'm impressed!! At first I was seeing pat's vision which is nothing, but then the other picture loaded and I actually said wow out loud. It seems like it was yesterday we made our pumpkins and now look at you your reupholstering chairs and bringing back to life.
    Ledger is of course, an absolutely handsome boy.
    Good finds for sure!

    He looks like a baby boy you would see in a Garanimals ad in Parent mag.

    He is SO cute, Sidd! I can start to see the distinct Sullenger/Siddoway features in him now. What a doll!

    Your chair is also adorable and I am amazed at your crafty skills! If I ever get married and move out of my parents house I am going to call you to help me decorate :) hehe

Hi, we're the Sullengers! Life turned upside down for us in 2010 when we lost our daughter in an accidental drowning. Since then, we've documented our highs (life with all five of our kids) and our lows (struggles with grief) but amongst everthing we've experienced, we know as long as we hold on to one another we can get through anything that comes our way.
