Find Of The Year

Get a look at this.
I have been jumping about with joy since yesterday.

This beautiful chair I found in hard rubbish.
Yeah! HARD RUBBISH! Who'd have thunk it.

I was driving along when my heart skipped a beat, because there on the curb side was this chair. But wait, there's more.

There was not one chair, but TWO.
Two beautiful leather chairs and I had to have them.

I heaved and pulled and somehow with superwoman strength managed to get one into the back of my car, but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the second one in.
So I took the seat from it, turned it over so it didn't look too attractive and sped off to take the first one home, about a 20 min drive one way. Once I had unloaded it (a bit easier coming out) I then raced back for the other, hoping and praying all the time that it was still there, which it was. YAY!!!
Then another back breaking lift into the back.

When Andy got home, I did the big unveil and he couldn't believe his eyes.

We both had been hankering after a crusty old leather chair for our library room, but couldn't justify spending all that money just yet and now hey presto, two lovely chairs all for free (chiropractic bill not included).

I'm so happy it comes with cracked leather arms, it gives it so much character, just how I like it.

Today I also saw two beautiful green Chesterfield replica's with a swivel base, but unfortunately had to leave them as they were too big for my car and sooo heavy. I hope someone else got them as they would have just ended up in a rubbish truck. Shame.
