One of my favorite things is Wicker!! If it is white it is even better!! Sunday DD left for two weeks of drill with her National Guard unit and after I dropped her off I headed out to the flea market. My big find of the DAY!!!! White wicker!! I was so thrilled to find thid grouping and so I asked the price and he said he wanted $120 for the set and I was seriously thinking about it when he said he would mkae me a deal. I asked what the deal was and he said all of it for $95. I couldn't get to the ATM fast enough!!! Then the fun comes, I loaded all of the pieces with his help into my car, PT Cruiser convertible. Do you remember the Beverly Hillbillies?? I know I am dating myself, but I am sure that is what I looked like as I drove home ! I wish I had thought to take pictures but I didn't, I ws so excited and couldn't wait to get it in the house!
I have added a pillow covered in vintage fabric to the seat of the chair and folded a quilt to lay in the back of it. The chair is now at the dining room table and works perfect there. The vanity is in the master with a vintage embroidered scarf on it and my antique mirrors and comb. The table is still homeless but I am sure I will find it a home. See those cute crocheted pansies on the table (using it to dry them after washing them up)?? They were in a bag at an antique store in Ohio for $1, couldn't pass them up, they will be beautiful additions to my Crazy Quilting.
Have a Blessed week!!
AWESOME find Karen! You have the best luck!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE white wicker and the pieces you found are in such beautiful shape! We've been trying to find a rocker for my mother to no avail.
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty Karen! Sweet vanity.
ReplyDeleteIsin't it such a thrill to find something you LOVE for your home? Then at a bargain price too!
I know I get so tickled when that happens to me!
Hugs,

Great deal! I like white wicker BUT it's not my style. IF I had a big house (like the one I own is not big enough LOL) I would decorate one porch in white wicker. You know it's the one next to the arboretum? HEhehe!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! What a great buy! You could've paid more than that for the chair! Now, just where is this flea market?
