So yesterday, I went into the city, 2 1/2ish hours away. I found a $50 table on Kijiji, and loved it. I ended up getting it too! The top is very nice and in very good shape, and all the chairs are different (some antique) which I LOVE. I will try to put a picture up tomorrow. My mind is just going crazy with all of my ideas for it! So excited.
I'm a little disappointed we didn't get to hit any of the thrift stores though, but there is always next time! I was hoping to find other furniture that I could fix up.
On top of finding an excellent deal on my table, I had a really good shopping day at Micheal's. The canvas' I wanted were on sale, and the paints I usually buy were also on sale. I found a poster for my boyfriend, less than half price! AND the poster frames were 40% off. Since I have an addiction to paper, we hit the scrap booking isles. I got a pack of 80(ish) sheets for $8, regularly $30! AND (lol) every pack of scrap book paper was 40% off, so I bought 9. Individual sheets were also on sale, so I picked up a few. I also found a small butterfly punch for $10, and the Martha Stewart butterly punch for 40% off (the one I bought is normally $20). I am SOO excited about all my purchases. If I didn't get everything on sale it probably would have been an additional $300. So now that I am all stocked up, I am ready to craft.
Tomorrow I begin my first official, compensated piece of artwork. Wish me luck!
Goodnight!
