There was a very nice lady that posted she had received 9 helium balloons for her birthday and wanted to give them to someone who would also enjoy them. I told her it was my grandsons birthday that day and that I would love to have them. She was so happy to be sharing the love. Got them free.

I finished painting the cushions on my patio set yesterday.
A few of them will need a touch up, but I'm happy with how they look considering how expensive it would be to replace the old cushions with new ones, even on sale.

Love the color !! Now wondering I was going to replace my umbrella maybe paint it.

Paint would be a cheap fix, if you don't like the results you aren't out much.
I used Rustoleum,the one that adheres to anything, but if I did it again I would try the more expensive fabric paint. The regular spray paint worked just fine, but it has a little "different" texture now. When you lean forward the back cushion pulls a bit on a t-shirt.
Not a big deal overall, and it may diminish as they get more use.

In good shape just faded. Does rustoleum make fabric paint?

Was driving through the valley and stopped at a TSC store for feed. Saw my favorite color. They were $34.99 on sale for $9.99! Real Crocs too! They were going to be my new chicken shoes but my son says the poop will go through the holes.
