{Another fabulous find...}

Today, my sis and I went to a church furniture warehouse sale that is in our neighborhood. It is open every Saturday, and we had been a couple of times before. The very first time we were there, a beautiful french style bucket chair caught our eye. IT-WAS-BEAUTIFUL - and completely flawless!! We even liked the upholstery just how it was - a cream and orange damask/diamond pattern. We wouldn't change a thing! We asked the man how much he would take for it, and he said $175.00 firm. Yowza!!! Thanks but no thanks!! That was way too rich for our blood! He said he had recently taken the price down to $175.00 from $300.00, so with that in mind, $175.00 sounded like a much better deal, but it was still WAY out of our flea-budget price range.

Boo!

But........today......only 3 weeks later.......the chair had a shiny new price tag on it.....

$60.00




And she is all ours!!

We can easily get double that at the flea or on Craig's List! It is in immaculate condition and is definitely a good statement piece! Needless to say, we were all smiles today! :)

We are off to the Long Beach Antiques & Collectibles Show with our dad tomorrow for our Father's Day outing! I'll keep you posted on other treasures we hunt down!
