Some New Chairs!

I'm notorious for garbage picking right in my neighborhood. I'm rather shameless about it too! So when I saw two of these chairs in the trash recently, I thought I was dreaming! Were they REALLY throwing them out? No! They couldn't be! Could they?



I didn't grab them right away because I truly believed it was a mistake, they were just "near" the garbage...not actually garbage! But when I was walking around the neighborhood that night, there they were, closer to the street. There was no mistake! They were on the curb!



I had to rescue them. In all of my post partum glory, I dragged the two of them home. One of my neighbors saw me and I explained what I was doing and what a score I'd found. You see, we often compete (friendly, mind you) for the best trash scores in the neighborhood. Boy was she impressed!



A few days later, I took the time to stain and seal these beautiful chairs. Now, they add to the seating in my little backyard! They weren't ready for the trash just yet!
