Thrifting and garage sale finds....

Stopped by a random sale today on my way home from work......and this is what caught my eye...


 Some great details--that will show up when sanding after painting...



 and the price...
$2.00!!

 Next up....
Goodwill....



Noticed this chair---and then realized there were four of them...after looking them over I realized...


they were folding chairs...and they all seemed to work pretty well....the price was right...


As you can tell by the background in this picture--they came home with me...


Great backs--in PERFECT condition





and with wooden legs--you can't go wrong..


and proof of their age--and instructions--
June 1973-not bad for 38 years old!
LOVE the name--LEG -O-MATIC!!!
Reminds me of an early Saturday night live skit!


Just envision this little set up painted white and the seats covered with burlap or grain sacks...





and the little basket--99cents...


This is what i call a good day with great finds....
i will be posting my after pics of these...once they are all white....and Midwest Cottage-ed up!
