Then we stumbled upon this gem:
My mom and I were shopping up in Minneapolis and we drove by a garage sale on the way to our next stop. At first I said, "oh let's stop, they have furniture!" and then "no don't stop, I don't want to take the time." Luckily my mom stopped anyway and we were just going to do a drive by to check things out when I spotted the bench! I jumped out of the car and pretended no to jump for joy when I saw it was only $8.
Yippy!
So there you have it, it's my find of the year and I plan on recovering it, but first I just want to stare at it for a while.
In other news, I'm back to work 3 days a week now instead of 2, so I'm still struggling with the adjustment. Who would have thought that adding one more day would make such a difference?
I also have a fun something coming up for next week hopefully, so I'll just be crossing my fingers hoping that I get over this cold I've got so I can get the project finished up! I don't think I've sewn anything in 5 days, now that's a record!

Love, love, love it!
Wow! I never find anything that awesome! (or anything worth paying for). Good luck with the work adjustment. Where do you work?
EIGHT DOLLARS?! score! I would have jumped for joy. I wish I had a bench that cool!
$8?!? I love it! Lucky you!
What an excellent find! I love steals like that : )
I can empathize with you...I also work three days a week (and have a four year-old, a seven-year old and a full-time working husband.)
I admire folks who can work as well as blog daily (or even a few times a week), and I admire folks who can keep their Etsy shops updated. It takes a lot of time and effort and the hours easily get away...
Take care, and I hope you feel better soon.
Great find! What's with the colds??? Our whole family has them (except for me, muahaha).
Very cool find Anna!
Love the bench Anna! It was a great garage sale day in Minneapolis. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
And what else is coming up??
I have bench envy!
S-C-O-R-E. SCORE! Battling bench envy now.
can't wait to see the recovering.. and what were you doing in the fine city of Minneapolis?
only 8 bucks?! You got the deal of the year for sure!!! It's going to be beautiful!!!
what a great find for only $8 ... can't wait to see what it looks like when you're finished!
Adding a day TOTALLY makes a difference. Last year I worked 3 days, this year I work 4. I may as well work full time, I think. Love the bench- can't wait to see what you do with it!
awesome!! i've been on the lookout for something like this-and what a great deal!
Sweet. Nice find!
Alright!! and I know you will turn into something very nice!!!
ooooo. what a find! And I kind of like it as it is!
I LOVE the bench!! I've been reading your blog for quite a while now, and when you mentioned going to Minneapolis, I was excited because I live in MN too (just outside of Rochester)!
$8 is a steal! That bench looks way too good for such a small price tag! Those legs look as solid as tree trunks. Great shopping. I am looking forward to seeing this bench in the future.
Oh what a great great catch!!!!
