The yard sales were a total bust. It was cold, and windy, and the sky was full of clouds that promised rain. That being said, not that many people in the villages decided to have yard sales, and the ones that did were not very good. The only thing I ended up buying was some clip-on earrings to add to Corals dress up collection.
Our yard sale ended at around 2:00 pm, and my sister, mom, grandma and I jumped in our Buick to find some free stuff. Wow, that was exciting. I got so excited about so much stuff that the baby was kicking like crazy. Every time I saw a new pile of stuff the baby would go bananas inside of me.
There was a lot of JUNK. But there were also a lot of treasures. I sort of have this thing for chairs. I LOVE chairs. There were chairs everywhere. From retro leather chairs, to old rockers. You name it, it was on the side of the road. I found a couple of really neat things that I wanted, but in the end, the Buick is only so big and could only hold so much stuff (keeping in mind we have our weekend luggage as well).
So, I ended up only getting one thing. A chair. A big beautiful green retro chair. It's perfect. In perfect condition, after a good clean, and is really comfortable too.
I love me some retro. The place where we snagged this from had a HUGE pile of stuff. They had a bunch of funky chairs (orange fabric one, blue and green ones with huge flowers on it, another green corner chair) and they were all super retro. If I had more room in our car, more would have come home with me from that pile. But only taking this one chair was worth it.
What do you think? Do you love chairs as much as I do? Not bad for free eh!
