Folding Canvas Stool


I found a perfectly humble folding stool.


It was soaking wet when I bought it but I liked that it was canvas and folded.
I was confident of it's potential.


I have an affinity for stools of any sort be they humble or not.



I can always use a perch for my coffee, book, or laptop.


So what did I pay for my humble wet canvas stool?
Fifty cents.
Suffice to say that fits into my budget just fine and
 fits well with the 1960's beach furniture we adore in the living room.





may joy and peace surround you

  1. I paid double what you did for mine and thought I got a good deal! LOL They are fun- I need to make a new seat from some decorative fabric. I've been using it in the garage and should bring it in. :-)

  2. What a bargain. We call those campaign or safari stools here. The Army Officers would take them on overseas missions.

  25. Olive, you seem to have the knack of choosing little bits and pieces which perhaps other people wouldn't notice and then you put them in the right setting and they look gorgeous.
