I just bought a folding chair similar to that one. The wood is not in nearly as good of shape. Going to give it the old spray paint but haven't decided what color yet.<br />Hugs,<br />JannHave a Daily Cup of Mrs. Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446091501170762899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10633837.post-45595606578017954302012-07-19T20:43:18.818-04:002012-07-19T20:43:18.818-04:00Look at all the great thing you found.

Garage sale not for sale, I asked would you sell those chairs. She said yes , would you give me a dollar for them. I asked are you sure she said yes. I priced them at about $20.00 because I kind of felt guilty about the low price. When I brought them to the shop the shop owner, where my booths are whood and Awwadd. She looked at the price and said I had them to low. One sold quickly for $40.00 the other for $45.00.<br />MissyMalissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387756332532866992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10633837.post-5508247474730022822012-07-17T21:56:20.961-04:002012-07-17T21:56:20.961-04:00Dang!

Your reminiscences (spell checker anywhere???) really speak to my heart and there are an awful lot of practical junkers out here...nice to meet another! Nobody understands us, thank heavens to find link-minded souls on the internet. <br /><br />You HAVE to treat yourself to a brand spanky-new spray paint handle. Your fingertips will thank you and though it will grow crusty with the paint of many projects, you will treasure it! Here's one like mine and is available in most hardware/big box type stores. http://www.amazon.com/Rust-oleum-243546-Spray-Grip-Handle/dp/B000DZFE44Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04524547212032687388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10633837.post-85008025000812213742012-07-17T12:36:09.627-04:002012-07-17T12:36:09.627-04:00You did GOOD !!!!

Girlfriend, we think alike. (Gotta say, though, I was digging the blue chairs... precisely for the reasons you didn't like them!

Other bloggers can be stingy and just offer a bone! I visited one yesterday that had three sentences. I was sure there must be a jump line, but no, that was it - three sentences and two pictures! I kinda liked that wild blue, but the yellow is fine. So sad about the paper - I always asked to look through the trash bags at estate sales to find treasures like this! Also, GET A TRUCK! I currently have both of ours partially loaded because I am using them as storage until after my niece leaves! Crazy and I know It!

I had a pair of those vintage blue chairs for years, but we got rid of them this past spring (I think for $10!). Our toddler kept pulling up on them, and they would nearly tip over. I decided that we better just get safer chairs that wouldn't topple over and hurt the kids!<br /><br />Have a great weekend!<br />JodieSewing-Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282532221695943114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10633837.post-17055632097688547292012-07-12T21:07:26.389-04:002012-07-12T21:07:26.389-04:00Your found some really neat treasures!
