I had such a wonderful weekend. I did some odds and ends here Saturday morning and then went to Lafayette. I needed some new walking shoes so that's what I went for to begin with, I usually only buy my shoes at Kohl's. I ended up getting a great deal too. The shoes were orginally $54 and were on sale. So when I got to the register, the lady in front of me gave me a coupon for 30% off if I used my charge. My shoes ended up costing me $29.

From Kohl's I went to a hair product supply store. I needed new clippers for grooming the dogs. Got a great deal there too. They were $69 and I got them for $52. There was also a trimmer that came with it.

I then went to JoAnn Fabics. Mom had some white wrought iron chairs in Florida. Rick brought them home, but they needed new covering for the seats. So I bought some fabric there for outdoors. It was $19.99 a yard. It just happened to be on sale and then another 30% off of the sale price. I ended up getting it for $9.00 a yard (two yards).

After that...I went to a couple flea market type shops and just looked around. One looked like just garage sale type items and the other was much nicer antiques and well...I could've bought a lot of things there, but didn't. I am going to go back there for sure.

Then at 5:00, I met my friend and her mother for supper at the Olive Garden. I had soup and salad so I did quite well with calories. It was all so good. By the time we finished I was so tired, so headed home.

Sunday, I painted the white chairs I wrote about above, painted some other items that Rick brought back from Florida and then displayed them in the yard. While at JoAnn Fabrics, I also bought a wrought iron piece that has hummingbirds on it. It was a really productive day for me. I was wanting to take pictures to show you, but it's so cold and windy, gusts up to 35 and 40 mph so it will have to wait. They'd probably all be blurry.

Well, I'm getting hungry so I'd better get me some lunch.
