I once picked up a very nice antique sheet music cabinet made out of mahagony. Someone had dumped it out. All it needed was the back piece tightened up and it is a beautiful piece of furniture.

I seem to have a knack for finding antique furniture that way. Years and years ago, my ex and I happened upon an old oak chair with arms and a leather-seat in the trash We refinished it, tightened it up and recovered the saet. It was a wonderful chair for a long, long time. SOMEONE talked me into leaving it behind in CT when we moved back here!:-)

I also had an old sewing rocker (no arms, low to the ground, very comfy on the lower back)which I bought for a song back in CT. Left it behind, too!

Now that just leaves about seven old rocking chairs amongst the rest of our treasures.:-)
