This is the Bench. . .

This is the bench that Summer and I bought for $10 and sold on craigslist for $50 without doing anything more than washing it down with a cleaner!!


We are looking for things to fix up and resell so she can earn money for her trip to Europe with aunt Lisa this summer. So far we have made $65 (in one week) buying and selling our treasures!!

Oh, I might have had a hard time parting with that bench. I bet you could have sold it for $100, it is beautiful.
You are tricky and resourceful and I love you. (And I miss you, too.)

That's awesome!! Alex and I try to do things like that, too. Mostly with our old textbooks. But we've picked up a few free textbooks on campus (the ones that say, "Only take if you are going to use and read them.") We're using them, alright. :) We were also thinking of picking up all the free things people get rid of in Logan on KSL and then selling them. It could work. I wish I was going to Europe, too! Fun, Fun!!

Oh how I wish I lived by you so I could have bought that bench. I would LOVE a bench like that in my girls room. What a great find!
