I found the cutest wrought iron table and chair set for only $50.00! It was marked down from $199.00! The lady at the antiques mall was leaving and didn't want to take all of her stuff from her booth back home. So I lucked out and wandered by as she was marking everything down! Yoo hoo!
I thought I'd repaint the rusty white set. White doesn't go well in my antiques shop. I tend to have more darker, primitive colors. The table and chairs will go into a corner of the new quilt room that I've desinated for all the quilting books and patterns. Folks can come in and have a seat while thumbing thru some books.
I also stood ALL DAY in the hot sun at a auction for a chance to bid on a really cool metal chicken coop. Snagged it for $5.00! It made my sunburn almost bearable. It'll look cool holding fat quarters!
I also have an antique 10 foot wooden bench from Boston that I picked up from one of my favorite antiques malls that I frequent. Won't tell ya how much I PAID for that baby! I'm having my Pa hang the bench on the wall above the cutting table. It'll hold about 100 bolts of fabric! It's that long!
When the quilting room is finished, I'll post pix then.
