The stuff always tells a story. <br /><br />Perhaps one of my favorite finds (and I actually spent more than usual for it) is this really cool child's rocking chair made from a small barrel. I researched the company - which is out of business - but the chair had to be created before 1965. When I took the covers off the cushion, it was like being on an archeological dig. <br /><br />I was originally going to paint it, etc - but now, I can't bear to do anything to it beyond changing the cushion to exemplify this decades style choices. <br /><br />* WoW! A $1 wedding dress? That must be a record!*<br />Julie Jordan Scotthttp://juliejordanscott.typepad.com/julie_unplugged/2013/04/ubc16302013spring.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4874294223258884392.post-6780284075945432572013-04-25T22:42:29.604-04:002013-04-25T22:42:29.604-04:00Oh I'm lucky because we have a "trendy&qu...Oh I'm lucky because we have a "trendy" thrift store close by and now my oldest boy want to go with me and get some deals :) Would LOVE to get Trina's book.
