Yes, I did have to buy the fabric, but it is from a local business that is going out of business so I got it less than $10 a yard and I only needed a couple. At first I thought it may turn out too traditional, but with the green trim I added I think it turned out more youthful.
The best part of my week was that I won this letterpress print from Angela of SeeSaw Designs. I absolutely adore it! I did buy the frame, but I used a gift card I had. To get your own print be sure to visit here. I also love their blog. Really she and her team just rock.
Okay, so I also bought the two crewel pillows on sale from Pottery Barn and used up the rest of the gift card plus $10. Whew!
Oh, okay maybe I should change my week from well to decent. I fell head over heels for this lamp that I found at Home Goods. I found a slight crack in it so they brought the price down to $29.99. This came out of my own pocket, oops. The funny thing is all the above has been up since Thursday and the hubby still has not noticed.

Well done on your shopping hiatus. Hopefully it has helped you. Those are some good buys thought. The chairs look great. The print and frame are lovely. Those pillows are pretty and I love that lamp!
You have a great style going on there =)
sounds like you did really well with your finds and they're all great! the benches and the toss pillows are lovely and you picked the perfect frame for that print. well done.
that is too hilarious! you have ended this hiatus with a bang! cute cute stuff though i love it all and it was all bargain shopping too! good job! we need to get together soon!
Love the lamp! A little splurge at the end of the hiatus isn't so bad...
Congrats on getting through the hiatus! I love the benches and that lamp is just too fun. Also, you can NEVER have too many throw pillows:) All of those items do seem very well priced.
The husband and I are implementing our own shopping hiatus for a month.. wish us luck and a lot of prayer!
BUT, I adore adore adore that lamp. Did they happen to have anymore at HomeGoods? I think I shall pay them a visit!!
that lamp is fabulous!
Love the lamp and you have to buy it when you see it or it will be gone. Good job!
Cute stuff! Gift cards do not count as spending. They were gifts to you, so you totally did well.
haha...Hub doesn't notice anything that I buy either! I adore that lamp!
at least you got everything on sale! it looks great and I bet the little changes will satisfy the "urge" for a while.
Great buys, Paula! Love it all and great job on your benches!

ummmm. I know I should be supportive of the shopping hiatus and all - but your purchases rock. If I move to Alabama can we go shopping together. And will you teach me how to sew? And will your husband teach me how to take pictures?
thanks for your nice comment!
and, that print is so cute! i love it!
You did awesome! Love the covers for the benches! You have such lovely taste! :)
Looks wonderful - love the lamp - such a find!
love the bench!
Okay, you're making want to shop! So many great finds and updates. The benches look great!
I love the green trim. I makes it a little funky.
The shopping hiatus is rough. I keep trying, but let's just say, last week didn't count!
The recovering looks great! And a nice deal at a local business is always money well spent.
is *everyone* doing a shopping hiatus?!
i don't blame you whatsoever for getting these few little pretties. i'd do the same (particularly for that lamp - LOVE it!)
sooo many amazing purchases. oodles of goodness!
I love your new Layout! it looks cute!
I love that coral lamp. Good job on the shopping hiatus hopefully it helped you for the future!
That yellow fabric is really pretty with your wood dining table. I can't believe you did this for 12 weeks! Great job!
thanks for the shout out! glad to see the print is getting used - it looks great in your lovely home.
i love those pillows.
You are an inspiration! I'm definitely in awe of your jedi-like non-shopping skills.
And I think that lamp shouldn't count. It's just too pretty!
P.S. I posted your signature style entry today!
love all the updates! has the hubby noticed yet?!
those are lovely new purchases...so much more special after the hiatus, no.
p.s. my hubby does the same thing...it takes him weeks to notice new stuff in the house ;-)
Well done, well done! And beautiful picks!
