That's One Angry Bird

Happy Halloween !!!
Every year my daughter's school has a pumpkin decorating contest.
 Each class gets a pumpkin. They decorate them then
 they the school takes all the pumpkins to our local Outback
where all the customers can vote on their favorites.
 This year, my daughter's class chose to do the red Angry Bird.
 With a lil' help from yours truly,
 this is how great he turned out
 We, of course, had to go and put our vote in ...
 Kricket couldn't be more proud ...
 Just like her Mommy ~

 Hope your day is filled with MANY treats 
I know ours will be : )

Cute Shabby Desk Chair

Howdy ya'all ... how's your day going so far?
Mine? Welp, I'm starting off my week in a crazy race
 trying to get ready for another garage sale this Saturday.
 I'm planning on selling MANY of the pieces I've worked on
 over the past 6 months.
 One piece that won't be going in is this adorable 
 desk chair I made for Kricket's room.
 Her old chair was this vintage rolling chair
Although I loved it, she kept "tipping" it over.
 So while out garage sale-ing I found this chair for $3.
The color was eh but the shape was perfect.
 It did have to be re-glued in 1 spot but other than that it was sturdy.
 So I repaired it, lightly sanded it, primed and painted it with some oops paint.

Needing Some Pricing Help Here ....

Howdy guys. 
 I need your help. I'm having a garage sale on 
Saturday the 29th and I'm getting all my stuff together.
 Welp, my problem is that I have a BUNCH of things
 I've re-finished just for the garage sale and 
 now I have NO idea what kind of prices to put on em'.
 Here's the first victims ...
 I bought these 2 tables at The Restore Clearance store for $3 each
I knew that I was going to re-sell them.
 This is what they look like now
They're primed, painted, de-stressed, glazed, waxed
and the tops are covered with quotes 
 They're really adorable.
 So, anyone have any ideas what I should sell them for?
 Next is this set
That started out like this ... 
I thought I had a picture of the dresser but at least 
you can see what they looked like
I bought both looking like this for $25.
 Now they're purdy-d up.
 So I was thinking $100 for both. Sound right?
 I know it's a garage sale but ...
I'm stumped.
HELP !!!!
