yard sale scores

Cruising home from someplace or other on Sunday, we spied a yard sale. I moseyed around and found a box of dominoes with little metal studs in the center of each one for $2. I haven't yet done any altered dominoes so I have no idea if they always come with metal bits in the center or if these are a bit different.

It occurred to me that it might make them more difficult to glue things to since the metal is raised a little, but I like the look of them.

Then I took a look at the furniture. We always need office chairs at work since people crash down into them in ways chairs were never meant to be sat upon, so I took a quick look at the chairs he had. They were in good shape, had lots of cool adjustment features and were only 15 bucks a piece. As my husband wrestled them into the back of my RAV4, I noticed he was working at it a bit more than usual.


Didn't eat his Wheaties this morning I thought to myself. Then we got them home and I looked at the bottom of one.

Steelcase. Selling new for $849. Holy Sh*t!

I later found them for $349, on sale for $199, but still - I got them for $15 each and they'll last forever. Needless to say, they never went to work. I'm sitting in one right now...
