good garage sale

We got up and out early to this garage sale on a rainy morning yesterday and got ourselves great finds.

I planted myself straight onto this chair the moment I got to there, where everyone else was digging into the boxes. The size was just perfect ... a petite wingback armchair. The spring and cushion was still in great condition ... love the way things were made in those days. They are made to last. I told my other half to go look around for great finds while I just sat there and 'reserved' the chair ... so 'kiasu' (scared to loose) ... we got it for a steal. I just got back from the upholstery shop ... it will have a new nice upholstery done ... can't wait!

Got ourselves a teakwood bench at a great price and are having it sand down and varnish to be as good as new. A brand new piece would have mean cutting down another tree! Will post a picture once its renewed.

So we couldn't fit both our great finds into the car ... we had to make a second trip back there with my little white kangoo. And just to be sure we have searched the grounds well, we scouted one more round before we left with our earlier purchase. Voila! The owner displayed new items and we got ourselves this lovely vintage looking glass lamp with a very pretty sweet shade! Lovely!

I love weekend shoppings of this kind!
