Happy Happy Thrifting

I am sorry the recipe for the lemon loaf was unreadable yesterday. Here is a better shot. Click to enlarge. I added extra lemon zest to the glaze. This is one of the most delicious lemon tasting desserts I have ever made.


*** I am such a bad blog person! I just realized I only posted the first page to the recipe. I will post the final part tomorrow as the Blog Tech has left for the day. Sorry!

The thrift shops around here are hurting from all of the snow we have had. People are still trapped in their homes and no one is dropping anything off at thrift stores. I went out yesterday to visit a few and for the first time ever saw empty shelves. However, as I was just about to leave the second store, I spotted these chairs. They were 14.95 each. I really don't need any more chairs but they looked nice so I bought two.


When I got them home I studied them and found that they were very well made. They have a wheat-sheaf back with hand carved spindles. Click to see the intricate work.



The construction is very sturdy.


This is the bracket that braces the legs.


I liked them so much I went back and bought the third chair.


He is another shot of the wheat-sheaf design.


The wide rush seats are in perfect condition.


I looked these up on the internet and found reproductions of them for sale in 2003 for 550.00 each. You can see them here.


Teddy received a treat this morning from my daughter.


You can see her checking her hand to make sure she still has 5 fingers!
