Simply Mad for Yellow & Orange Plaid

On Monday, I made what could be termed a 'questionable' inventory purchase for my upcoming markets:
Do not feel the need to adjust your monitor, that is indeed a yellow and orange and black plaid chair. The colors are even brighter in real life; the yellow stands out more. It can possibly be seen from space.

The thing is, the colors are perfect for Fall and for the Halloween theme of my booth. It's in great shape and it was a great price. It's definitely eye-catching and I think having it outside my booth will hopefully draw people over to look (and then they'll venture inside and buy lots of things! :)

I posted this on my Facebook page on Monday afternoon and asked if I'm crazy, or perhaps crazy like a fox. The responses varied. I'll let you go ahead and guess which one my husband thinks I am.

So yeah, I know it's not for everyone. It's a statement piece for sure, but I think it totally crosses the line from "ugly" to "so ugly it's really awesome." What do you think?

Even though it's Wednesday, I'm linking up with Apron Thrift Girl's Thrift Share Monday!

I like it. Perfectly fall it is! Several of those comments on your FB page came from some of my FB friends and family - not sure how they came toy our page though. Small world!

Husbands just don't "get" our junk now do they? Mine sure doesn't - but he's the first one to want to know how much my check is at the booth!

I have to say, my first glimpse on FB on my (crappy-soon to be replace-WOOT!) phone had me wondering. But with the Halloween theme, I am now 100% with you. Purple glittery throw anyone? Can't WAIT to see what you do with it.

I think it is just right. Anyone who has ever done any kind of selling show, craft or otherwise knows you need the people walking by to STOP or you can't sell them anything. I know they will stop for that chair and I'm willing to bet it sells, too!

I think it is so retro people will LOVE it. Out of place where it is in that photo but seriously, with the right decorator, you'll find out why it was even manufactured in that color in the first place! Good pick!
