This is the way I shop anymore. Look at an ad and find something I like. Call the toll-free number to order, give them my credit card number, pay the extra for shipping and "Voila!", there is my new sectional. I like. Himself likes, Johanna likes and Audri loves it! She lays her head on the cushions and pats it!
It is microfiber and soft.
We sold the old blue set. I was prepared to advertise it on "Union County Free Cycle" and give it away but Himself was sure we could get a hundred bucks for the set. When I
advertised it, I didn't have the nerve
to say $50/pc and after all I was using the Creston paper's free ad for selling items $50 or less. So I asked $50 for the sofa and $35 for the love seat. It was a soap opera and some little gal tried twice to come on our lunch hour to look. When I put others off because she was supposed to come look, Himself got absolutely furious with me! "Sell the d_ _ _ thing!" he spat out! In reponse, I said "isn't there honor among garage sale folks?"
Well it caused some tense moments but finally about 11:30 a.m. Saturday morning, a little gal showed up with her friend, her brother, a pickup AND the eighty-five dollars. Himself helped carry it cheerfully to the truck.
Now, then, just a few more changes for Himself to get used to. Need a few red or forrest green pillows and some changes on the walls.
Johanna will help me get rid of some "country" and add some contemporay and we'll be all updated!

I LOVE It!
Good for you! You've waited long and long and long for that. It's beautiful. I envy for chaise lounge! I can't wait to see what else you do.
