Chairs, banner, and a window pane

All summer, my aunt Kim and I have been talking about taking one afternoon and hitting every Flea Market/Antique store in the area.  Shaun gets off of work at noon on Friday's during the summer.  As soon as he got home Friday I left the house.  We only had time to go to 4 shops but I had such a great time!  I didn't spend over 40.00 and I bought SO much. 

I found these chairs for 3.00 each and the picture frames for 55 cents.

 I saw old window panes anywhere from 22.00 to 65.00 in all four shops.  I found mine for $11.00.  I am planning to use these for the food table at Lena's Vintage Farm birthday party in October. 

I have big plans for the step stool also but want to wait to share.
 I got up early this morning and broke out my favorite can of spray paint.  I painted the chairs and the frame and put them on my front porch.  I had this old table up in my attic.  It was old looking so I gave it a new RED look. 
 I am planning to make a burlap pillow with my address stenciled on it for this chair. 

 I have been busy planning both of my girls birthday parties.  Sarah Grace turns 5 in September and Lena Katherine will be 2 in October.  I cant believe how fast time goes by.  I am so thankful for one more year home with Sarah Grace.  She doesn't get to start school until next Fall because of the cut off. 

I saw this banner on a blog and loved it.  I thought I would try it using the same fabric as the table cloths for LK's party.  My sister Natalie and I made it in about 45 minutes.  I cut and she tied.  Super easy and I love how it turned out.  I finished the window pane today also.

 I couldn't resist the cute models!  Emily is having a sleep over tonight. 
 For SG's 5th birthday we are having a photo shoot for her and all of her friends.  The girls will get all dressed up and have their pictures taken with all of these fun frames.  I have found these frames here and there and just sprayed them with the party colors. 
I love the yellow chair!  I found it at the Goodwill last week.  It is over sized and is perfect for the party.

Great finds! and I love the colors you painted the frames. I'll be back to check out your burlap address pillow. Saw you at Primp your Stuff linky party.
