Seat will not fit through my regular doors, much to my disappointment. Too large and to heavy. Been<br />looking for one, to know exactly what to call it,<br />on-line. Why anyone would discard this lovely old seat, I don't understand. It's extremely comfortable. All it needs is a little paint on the wooden areas and some large oversized pillows. It will show up on my blog soon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04580403713058008798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841804301133953530.post-55179375496888042822010-06-11T19:37:15.780-07:002010-06-11T19:37:15.780-07:00There is also http://ww.gigoit.org which is just f...There is also http://ww.gigoit.org which is just for stuff like this.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15852725683992754414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841804301133953530.post-25638135614468409332009-03-11T06:05:00.000-07:002009-03-11T06:05:00.000-07:00Well, Candy, I quite enjoyed my first visit.

Maybe that's just on my old machine.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your new book. From what I've seen in the blog I expect you to do well with it.<BR/><BR/>Have you been in touch with <A HREF="http://www.ishopsummit.com" REL="nofollow">iShopSummit.com</A>? Wondering if you might be able to sell some books through the site.<BR/><BR/>I'll look forward to you visiting me and to see what you think.

I'll just say a few...a wicker loveseat, 2 wicker chairs, tables, an old sewing machine, a piano, benches,frames and many other things. She has gotten a mantle for her living room (gorgeous),her dining room set(table and chairs),a basketball goal(me too),several doll houses. We both have gotten bed frames which make great chalk boards and benches. I probably have 12 lamps and all work fine. I have gotten my kids tons of Legos, a Gameboy and a Quantom Leap Pad, etc. They love Thursday morning :).<BR/><BR/>What I can't use I put out in boxes and on a table marked "free stuff" like a free yard sale. People love it.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375234066672236194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1841804301133953530.post-88527310347407161622009-03-09T16:33:00.000-07:002009-03-09T16:33:00.000-07:00Right on, Candy!

Now that they can drive themselves this year, I haven't done as much "shopping". I'm going to have to make a point of getting out early just to look. Great haul there, can't believe somewhere would pass on that sweet vintage suitcase.

Hubs actually was NOT a fan of my junk, until he saw I could decorate and make a little money with it. ;) I love the baskets you found!!<BR/><BR/>No, Mindy. I wouldn't make her walk...sheesh. I just tied her to the luggage rack.<BR/><BR/>Lani - Funny you should mention your love of bed springs. I will be linking to your project that was featured in the former Country Home magazine. It was definitely MY inspiration. I'm excited about my mini bed spring find in the photo too and may do something similar to what you did!

My son gets so embarrassed when Mom and Dad go out junking! That doesn't stop us...we keep on doing it...just don't tell him about it!<BR/><BR/>By the way, Moonlight Hollow is having a great giveway...a Treasure Hunt! Would love for you to participate!

I've got crib springs that I use for a project/idea board - clipping and hanging pictures, etc...for inspiration.<BR/><BR/>I can't throw out something usable either (that's why my basement is "almost" in overflow mode...) - I've been known to sit something out in my driveway with a "free" sign on it - and you know - it usually mysteriously disappears in the night...sometimes quicker!<BR/><BR/>Great "pick up"!!
