This is a silly post -- but wanted to share something I'm proud of -- so bear with me...
I have an office chair that suits me to a T. Comfortable, well-padded, easy on my back. Five years of happiness we've shared. Quite fond of this chair...until...the black imitation leather fabric started peeling, leaving little ebony flakes all over the carpet. Padded armrests are now denuded down to the under fabric which is gray. Cute, comfy chair now looks like it has mange.
Bummer. Not pretty. Looked up chairs online where purchased. Chair had been $69 when bought some 5 years ago. Price is now $99.
Gulp.
Was going to bite the bullet and go get a new chair tomorrow.
But last night, as I lay awake battling insomnia, a little creative imp whispered in my ear "go buy some little sock footlets".
And so I did, today. Got a 6-pack of black footlets at the local discount store. They stretch just enough to slip over the armrests and the elastic keeps them in place. Cost was one dollar. $1.00!!
Magic. Chair no longer shedding; armrests are once again black, and chair is healed.
As is my purse.
$1.00 saved me $99.
Happy am I!
