Bargain Betty

Holy smokes!  I found the bargain to end all bargains today.  It was one of those moments when I wanted to hug the stranger next to me.

Exhibit A:  curtain fabric for the nursery, sample swatch checked out from a local decorator fabric store

I thought it would be the perfect fabric for the curtains because it is not babyish (I don't think that's a word).  Price: $39 a yard (although I wouldn't pay that, I would search on-line)

Exhibit B:  the bargain.

Found at Hobby Lobby, original price $8.99 a yard, used my 40% off coupon making it $5.39 a yard.   I needed five yards, bringing my TOTAL PRICE to $26.95 - that's right blogging friends that's $12 less than the 1 yard price at the decorator store.  Yes, it is the exact same fabric.   Really, I still can't get over it.

Tomorrow I will go buy room darkening lining (with my Hancock's coupon) and I will start sewing curtains.

Here is how the rest of the nursery will look.  Now I just have to go back to all of the random fabric stores and on-line sites where I pieced these together and purchase my yardage.
I am so excited to have decided and to start sewing!  More pictures to follow as the room unfolds.
