I spied her last Thursday at the consignment shop. The tag pinned to her cushion actually said that. "One Old, Ugly Chair". Poor thing.
And how could anyone call such a yummy shade of turquoise "ugly"?! At $44, she was a bit out of my price range, but the notation on the side of the tag indicated that the price would drop to $36 on Sunday. I crossed my fingers, said a little prayer and left her in the care of the shop keepers for the weekend.
Apparently the applied stigma worked because when I arrived shortly after the store opened on Sunday, she was still sitting there, waiting for me.
I think she's beautiful.
Head over and visit The Colorado Lady for more vintage goodies this Thursday!
Linking up to Brambleberry Cottage for Time Travel Thursday. Pop on over to check out all the beautiful treasures!
I agree, I love the chair. It looks like it's in great condition, too. I think you got a really good deal! Peace, Stephanie
ReplyDeleteShe's GORGEOUS! What a steal! I think she was tagged ugly by fate so you could snag her, and she's be in a home where she'd be appreciated. ;)
