A New Chair, and Something to Share

Have you seen this chair before?  I saw one just like it in Nancy’s Notions catalog a few months ago and was smitten.  Here is the link.  I double-dog-dare you to click on it.  The chair legs are brown instead of red, but I think it’s the same exact chair and it costs $220!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Did I use enough exclamation points???  I think a $220 chair deserves that many.

Guess what I paid…

Yes, only fifty bucks.  It was my lucky day at Joanns.  I usually pay cash for everything I buy, but I wrote a check that day since I didn’t have enough cash with me because I was only there to buy a $1 wooden birdhouse for my daughter to paint.  I remembered that the chair I saw in the catalog was over a hundred bucks, but I didn’t remember it was that expensive until I got home and looked it up.  This chair really livens up my sewing room and is very comfortable—the perfect height for a shorty.  Maybe your Joanns has one?  You might want to check it out for a deal like this!

And on to the share part.  I am giving away a copy of a book called I Love Patchwork.  If you haven’t seen the book before, you can check out the reviews here on Amazon.

To enter, simply tell me if your favorite new(-ish) line of fabric.  The author of the book, Rashida Coleman-Hale, has her first line of fabric called Washi.  I just purchased some and can’t wait to use it.  If you are a follower, you can have an extra entry!  The giveaway ends on Sunday, April 22nd and I will post the winner that night.  Open to international entries.
