Here's a photo of my lucky vintage ladder that I found for $40 bucks at my favorite local thrift store! Sometimes it pays to LOOK UP when thrifting!
Since I found this treasure while we were planning to build our new house, it's been sitting in our rental storage unit. Not quite as safe and sound as I thought. Thieves broke in this weekend and stole my husband's building tools, compressors, construction ladders, etc. Guess what they left behind !! So, of course, I'm just a dancing around cause it's the only item I really considered irreplaceable! It's a library ladder style and measures in at 9 ft! I have a vision of displaying horizontally on the wall to hang one of my quilts. And it has "provenance" because it was used in the stock room of our local hardware store for who knows how many years! That old hardware store closed it doors in the 1980s but this old ladder was lucky and got rescued....twice.
