This particular cheer bear can sing songs and is wearing a bib, 2 necklaces, and some of Emma's shoes. They are snuggling in to watch... you guessed it, care bears. I have no idea how much this bear would have cost if we bought it new. We found it an a second hand store, so it wasn't too bad. But THESE delightful guys...
they cost 50 cents each! And since Emma is notoriously rough with her care bears, we have backups for when we take them out shopping or something. But that isn't all I found... I got a wingback chair for $5.50! The fabric was floral and dirty and just gross looking, but the chair itself as in good shape, so I snatched it up, got some graphic fabric (50% off) and am having it professionally re-upholdstered!

When it is done, it will be my own custom dream chair. And all for $260.00! I know my wonderfully price unconscious husband will have a heart attack when he hears that number... but any new wingback chair (that would still need to be re-upholdered to be considered my "dream chair) would go for around $500-600. The first quote I got for upholstering it was $450! Which is about $1,000! Granted I could have got a simple wooden rocking chair and payed around.... $100-200? But I really hate the look of rockers. I could do an outdoor one on a porch or something, but since we don't have a porch and I know I would just get rid of it as soon as Molly stopped needing to be nursed... IDK I would rather save up for one nice thing, instead of settling for something that just works for now, so that later we could get rid of it and THEN get the nice thing. I feel like I'm rambling... But I'm really excited for the new chair and will definitely post pictures once it is complete!
