There was a very nice lady that posted she had received 9 helium balloons for her birthday and wanted to give them to someone who would also enjoy them. I told her it was my grandsons birthday that day and that I would love to have them. She was so happy to be sharing the love. Got them free. :)

I finished painting the cushions on my patio set yesterday.
A few of them will need a touch up, but I'm happy with how they look considering how expensive it would be to replace the old cushions with new ones, even on sale.

Paint would be a cheap fix, if you don't like the results you aren't out much.
I used Rustoleum,the one that adheres to anything, but if I did it again I would try the more expensive fabric paint. The regular spray paint worked just fine, but it has a little "different" texture now. When you lean forward the back cushion pulls a bit on a t-shirt.
Not a big deal overall, and it may diminish as they get more use.
