GARAGE SALE......MINE!

Just a sampling of what's leaving my house.

Hopefully, never to return...


Please, somebody come and buy it all!


This is the craziest piece for sale.  Why?

I actually sold it last year.  A nice woman bought the entire set.
In addition, she bought a table and chairs from my neighbor
Just how many people do you need to sit at one table?

Anyway, this chair needed a little TLC
and my hubby felt bad selling it in the quasi-wobbly stage
(you know being a carpenter and all)

So he glued and clamped it overnight
and the woman thanked him and agreed to come the next day and pick it up...

Well, she never did.

So.....For Sale.....One lonely chair!

Anyone?
