I stole the weekly thing from somewhere else and I don’t even remember where. It’s been in blogging forever, so you didn’t steal it from me.

These are a good find. You are a happy hunter.

You’re right Tash, they should just stay the way they are. Patrizzi is such a design snob. Holy crap. the stories I could tell.

Got to be striped/primed/painted??? Really? What am I missing??
What ceramics class?
I nearly made an ubrupt stop tonight on PV dr N. to pick up a what appeared to be a light-blue-wicker-love-seat patio chair for you…but there was no way to get it into the Accord. I suppose the thought counts for something.

So, what color are you going to paint them? A great find.

Did you ever actually make it to your ceramics class? Chairs: I would want to strip'em, do a polishing and a clear seal. Kind of like this. Or this Metal is a nice look. I did that to an old painted wall heater and it was really stunning. Old and modern at the same time. Of course, color is probably easier

These would be easy to rehab. Let’s talk. I think I need them for my side yard. Barter or $. Do you need a chihuahua?

PA, in honor of your Tuesdays, I checked out a dumpster parked in a driveway. A bunch of oriental carpets rested on top. Don’t know if they were real or not, but two women came out of the house and said, real belligerantly, “Can we HELP you.” I mumbled something and slunk away. Maybe they know the Italian grocer.

Cool chairs, they will make for a nice mesh pattern on the back your legs. Off to the sand blaster with them (look for an old machine shop willing to barter…offer them an artistic plug on your blog), then nice coat of primer and top coats. Always a primer coat for bare metal.

Did the guys ever return? I can’t believe you still have your bracelets.
