Colorful porch swing…

Found this swing on the street in the neighborhood. It needs some TLC and I don’t have the skills to fix it, nor the room for it…but I couldn’t let the garbage truck crush it. I will either put it in my impending garage sale or donate it. Wouldn’t it be fabulous at a cabin???

A Girl and Her Ride…

Picked up these wheels at a garage sale for $25. I hope I got a good deal. My pup Lollie blades with me and runs along side my bike…and once she is tired we quit. I would like to blade and bike further than Lollie can go…so now when she is tired she can ride. I know it was meant for a child, but I think we can make it work for her.

Loveseat…

Bought this loveseat at my neighbor Ginny’s garage sale for $15. The pillows came with it and it has springs. It will ultimately get new pillows for the seat and back, and it may be painted white and end up on my third floor – a finished attic. The stairs are narrow in my old home, so it is a challenge to find furniture that will fit up the stairs from the second to the third floor.

Thank you all for visiting my blog…I truly appreciate it.
