I love garage sales, tag sales, yard sales, estate sales. I love them for two reasons: I can get rid of junk I don't need, and I can find BARGAINS. Just yesterday I had a yard sale and got rid of some stuff I didn't need. I made about $50 in just a few hours with no advert in the paper, I might mention. I live off a busy thoroughfare, so I just put a huge A-board sign on the corner and opened the gate. Voila! Instant customers. Teen1 and Teen2 also sold some stuff and each made about $35.00.
I have been wanting some chaise lounges for my patio for ages. Now the question is; should we leave them blue or paint them red to match the rest of our furniture? The Lord of the Manor is voting for red, and I could recover the cushions in a rose flowered chintz, which would look nice. But I kind of like the blue too....
I'm going to think about it a while before I make a decision. And while I ponder it, I'm going to take a nap, outdoors, Amongst The Oaks, on my new chaise lounge.

Blue, blue, I vote for the lovely, restful, blue!
Excellent find, by the way, congrats!!
I love it when I run into such an unexpected treasure---you hit the jackpot!
My, what a find, what a bargain! Could you distress red to reveal the lovely blue underneath? I'd stick with the blue for me, but they are yours.... And you're still in profit! Well done.
A charming find!! I love this!!!
What a thrill to find. And they look really sturdy and comfy, Can you mix up the colours so that some fabric creates a link between the two sets of furniture?
Cheers Gillian
Those are so chic! I think there's alot of charm in the aged patina of the original color, as they look now. How cute!
