The guy had a few other things on the curb along with the chair. The other stuff eventually got taken. [I love the idea of ‘chair rescue’ BTW; oh the stories those seats could tell…]
Curbside shopping has lots of appeal. I remember people (dealers even) would cruise posh neighbourhoods for the ‘good’ stuff. I’d like to think the tradition continues…
Is it from watching too many cartoons as a kid that I expect this chair to just lift itself up and wander down the street in search of a new owner? :) I do wonder, when I see older furniture, what things it’s seen and what stories it could tell. Carin, you have such a great eye for the extraordinary in the ordinary. Great WW.
Sure it’s free. But is it easy?
Nothing lonlier than a comfy chair at the curb … hopefully onto a wonderful new life. Is there a chair rescue association out there?

So simple, a great pic! Back in my younger days I got some of my favourite things this way.

many items in our basement came from a sign like that!
A discerning eye can do quite well!

I love how the covers for the arm-rests are included in the deal. This being the secret to its longevity, perhaps…
p.s. How many cartoons did you watch???
