    OHHHH! I love trash picking. And yes, I agree someone was hoping for a good home for this beauty.

After 32 years he never knows quite what to expect. As we looked at in the house, all I could think about was what stories this piece could tell us. Smile....as you see I am thrilled.

    I love the trash picking, too! Wonderful find.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Wow! what a great find! It looks like new and I bet it is comfortable. You could make a cool cushion for it so your tush doesn't hurt after sitting for hours quilting.

    What a cool chair! It was a great find. My husband's uncle found an old spinning wheel at the dump here and he took it and he's replacing the few broken bits and then he's giving it to me.
