We made our way to Hanover to exchange our papasan frame at Pier One. It seems like our frame was a turd and broke in two places in one month, which upset us. However, after calling Pier One and explaining the situation to them, they told us to come in and exchange it for a brand new one, no questions asked or receipts needed. We are quite pleased with their customer service!
We also went to the Derby Street Shoppes and were pleasantly surprised by the number of stores all smooshed into one area (and only a 20 minute drive from our house, hooray!) When we bought our home this summer, we knew little (if anything) about the towns around Hull; it's nice to know that we don't have to travel all the way to Boston to seek out civilization.
We also stopped at a few yard sales and I found this book for 25 cents, and it did a great job of exciting me, the "never-had-a-garden-in-my-life-but-have-always-wanted-one-and-can-now-have-one-but-don't-know-the-first-thing-about-gardening" gardener. I spent my Sunday morning at the dining room table designing a garden for our backyard, while Mike was at the other end of the table working on sketches for a chair he wants so build. We haven't been able to have a "creative" morning and months, so it was a treat.
Lastly, we didn't lift a finger in the yard this weekend, but the grass seed we planted a few weeks ago has been working hard and growing a fine new tuft of grass in the old firepit area. We used Scotts Turf Builder Sun and Shade Mix and threw it down in the middle of a light rain a few weeks ago, covered it with grass clippings..... and, uhm, never ever watered it. Whoops. And then it was really sunny for about a week straight and still never watered it. Double whoops. But this stuff is amazing and pulled through! We will be sure to use it again next year when we till and level the yard.
