it was AWESOME. I'd go w/ her for her hours there. pour thru the buttons + such. when it moved i got her to grab a pair of 1900ish 'bamboo' folding chairs + she refinished them + painted the wood slated seats black. i have 1 now. i found some great stuff there. a late 50's toaster oven for work. made the best baked potato. i found many men's rayon shirts so i could make them sleeve less for summer. best. i found a grass green, grey-gr striped 60's 'sweatshit' that was unworn condition. i spotted its twin in the old movie yours, mine, + ours. a white brocade tuxedo jacket w/ black collar. a ww2 dress coat i have worn. got a palatnik mid century critter i ebayed. last time i got 2 little tonalas i collect. i have gotten great flatware, dishes, bowl. upholstery fabric.
oh, + a very cool late 1800's caned chair w/ balls that id rather different from the ave pressed back. caned seat ruined. sadly i didn't have enough to buy the dictionary that had poontang in it.
OH!!! i was w/ my grandma + they put 2 very well made 'granny square' crochet cardigan w/ hood in the garbage bin. i grabbed the green one + told them to sell the other as it was great too. i should have saved both. for years i wore it + a coke windbreaker my uncle gave me in winter. i grabbed 50's ties, bow ties. wore those.
