I want you to know I am a patriotic American and am single handedly keeping the economy going in my part of this great country. Yesterday my friend Emily called me and told me to go take a look at a vintage patio set at one of our favorite antique stores. I totally trust her taste and good judgement so I knew I'd love it. I think it's probably from the 50's or 60's, but I don't really know or care. I'm not crazy about the fabric on the cushions but it'll do for now. I bought the love seat....
Two of these rocky chairs, a side table and coffee table. They also had a chaise lounge and a dining table with four chairs, which I left behind for someone else.
The set came with a total of 10 cushions. I stuffed the cushions, one chair and both tables (including the glass tops) in my little car. It fit together like a puzzle. Emily went back to pick up some things she purchased and brought the rest of my stuff home in her truck.
Just doing my American duty.

He he he, that's funny. Where is said antique store? Now that the Copper Frog is gone, Nicole and I have nowhere to go and oggle at goods without buying.
I LOVE that vintage patio set!! They just DON'T make em like that---sturdy and comfy! I'll look forward to seeing your "ten cushion redo!" :)
YOU are the only person who noticed my 341 days until Christmas--good job!!! :)
Hope you are having a great weekend. Dana
MiMi Sue,
I know you are really going to enjoy the patio set.
Antiquing is one of my most favorite things to do,
because the workmanship is so much better,not to mention the stories that could be told if they could talk.LOL!!!blessings,
