Garage Sale Finds

Be on the lookout at estate sales and garage sales for caned chairs that have holes in them! You can pick them up for cheap, cane them yourself and either re-sell them for a nice profit or keep them! I just found 4 pressed in cane chairs in great condition and the lady sold them for $6 Bucks! They look to be about 40 years old. I can't wait to get them fixed up and see what I can get for them!

Peerless Rattan in Memorial Day Parade

Peerless Rattan owners Ed and Cindy Hammond were in the Plainwell, MI Memorial Day Parade this year. Their children and Grandchildren all wore matching Peerless Rattan shirts and walked along-side the company mini-van passing out candy. Sitting on top of the mini-van was a caned rocking chair! It was a fun time and they can't wait to do it again next year - maybe behind Papa's tractor?!
