I AM A WICKER PICKER

I like white wicker.  Not the new all weather kind, the old kind that has to be on a covered porch and embalmed with a few coats of Krylon every Spring.

DH does not like wicker.  He says it is uncomfortable and makes him itch.  Really?

All of my pieces are at least 10 y o, some are 20 or older. 

Some I bought, some are anonymous donations, ie, somebody wanted to ditch it.

I have shown you this, but my dear cousin gave me this great chair and  a matching sofa.  She got it at the museum sale out here, but when she moved she had no use for it.

The ottoman opens for storage.

Last week while I was sick, my friend Pam spotted some things she thought I might like up for grabs by a neighbor who was moving.

Bar table and 2 stools

The little 3 tiered stand  against the wall was also rescued by my friend Pam from the dump!

Side table

An octagon shaped hamper, great for storage out there!

Another neighbor saw this sitting on the road side, and dropped it off while I was sick.

All of it needs a good cleaning, and some work, but that will wait till Spring.  As you can see the leaves are falling and there won’t be much porch sitting ! We are starting to pile the furniture up to cover for the winter.

 

You have seen this before, but in the free category, the rocker brand new complete with cushion with a sign, FREE! It was pale pink, so a few coats of Krylon , and that was it! (the sign was done by my talented friend Kay from the Holidays forum)

Linda at A La Carte  is having her first meme, Junkin’  Finds.  I think some of my wicker qualifies. 

I am also joining Laurie at Bargain Hunting with Laurie for Favorite Things.  Wicker is one of my favorite things!

Thanks Laurie and Linda for hosting!

And thank you for visiting!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
