A Glider Collection?

I have a lot of outdoor seating. You kind of take stock of those things this time of year. There’s the cool old aluminum porch glider I bought from Mom many years ago, which is on my porch. There’s the vintage glider in aqua and white, which I got at a sale a few years ago, because it was only $25! There’s the gorgeous old wicker couch I got when I was 18, which is currently being stored in the barn (tsk, tsk). Another aluminum glider that was Butch’s mother’s; since it doesn’t have the original cushions, it can stay out by the fire pit. Then there’s the little wooden 2-seater that sits at the breeziest corner of the house overlooking the front yard. ____________________________________________________ This doesn’t even count the chairs; it’s just the multi-seat inventory! I realized that it was getting out-of-hand, so I decided to sell the old aqua glider. _____________________________________________________ I checked for prices online and found out so much about these cool vintage pieces! There are all kinds of them and they are so beautiful when they’re restored. Most of them hang from their frame, so my aqua one that glides on two tracks is a little less common. _____________________________________________________ Wow, these are really cool old items! Although I didn’t determine a price to charge for mine, I did decided what I would be willing to pay for my newest acquisition - $75. I REALLY need to stay off craigslist . . .
