Trust me on this one~~these chairs can be saved! These were curbsided a few days ago on the street where I live~~I was on my way to an appointment and whipped out my cell~~called DH~~"please" I begged him~~"it's early in the morning; no one will see you~~"
Oh the things he'll do for me~~
I'll twine up the bad spots and paint them; add some slip covers to the top half~~they'll look just fine for the backyard pergola for my shabby~tea~party~picture~taking days.
And some of my latest finds on the cheap: two pretty cotton sheets for slipcovers or use as outside tablecloths: a half~shaped wooden thingy (I'll use this as trim for a wooden box); and another nice, thick wood picture frame.
Love pretty flowers early in the morning: I took my camera out with me to snap photo of my little rosemary bush which will get much bigger before end of summer: I'll dry sprigs of it and use all fall/winter long: today a fresh sprig for the crock~pot pork roast~~
And found this medium sized apothecary jar on the cheap: perfect to store my rosemary in~~
Something about using my very own herbs pleases my senses (and taste).
And~~these sweet "rag baskets" both for 50 cents: could not resist~~another cute display for collectibles perhaps~~will take these for resale at my booth.
Here's my favorite "past photo~posts"~~please come visit me often and I'll visit you back!
Happy thrifting this weekend~~can't wait to see your bargains!
For Friday Night: I'm joining in here~~
I'm so glad you saved those chairs...can't wait to see the redo. I love those rag baskets...how sweet! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteWow I would have snatched up those chairs too. Even if I had to cram them into my car. Great find.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing the done-over chairs! You got some good treasures. Where do you have your booth? Susan
ReplyDeleteOh yes, lucky for these chair you found them. With a little paint, a deep seat cushion and throw they have alot of comfortable rocking days ahead of them yet and will look shabby-utiful under your pergola.
ReplyDeleteHi Susan; my booth is at the Sullivan Marina Antique Mall (near Shelbyville, Illinois). There is over 300 dealers there; I have not sold much lately but the lake traffic and campsites nearby should maybe pick up in sales. (B&J Antique Mall)~~ really some great stuff there and very reasonably priced for this area. Thanks for asking!
ReplyDeletecBeautiful chairs and decoration,I lake it!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
I have been known to throw a old metal chair found on the curb in the back of my convertible with the top down to get it in!
ReplyDeleteI went to an auction this week and spent only $32 and my car was full!
Those chairs will look great in their new home!
The chairs look great in your backyard. I like other things that you have there too. All are pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose wicker rocking chairs are a great find. Can't wait to see them spruced up. I love your vintage tablecloth and the blue and white setting. That cow pitcher is so cute! Love it. xo,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you rescued those sweet chairs. I wouldn't have the first clue how to "twine" them up, so I look forward to seeing how you do it. Great find :)
ReplyDeleteFab Finds! Everything is lovely xx Katherine
