    Great find! What do they say, from trash to treasure.

    When we were kids, our town had a 'clean up day' once a year. It was like a 2nd Christmas! We were so excited, were up at the crack of dawn and out scavenging. By dinner time, we (there were 7 of us) had quite a haul. We found all kinds of stuff in great condition and lots of games that had never been played.

    In spirit, I was right next to you when you picked the quilt stand up!

    Hey, I have one just like that! Minus the rodent chewing. I got it at Goodwill and had to pay $10 for it.... it was considered furniture.

    Great find! A little stain will cover the mark. One mans garbage is another mans gold.

    I see it as rescued. It is now a survivor.
