Metal Bamboo Garden table & chairs set made by Hauser International



My parents are awesome. This is the set my Dad bought for the backyard in 1975, made in Canada by Hauser International. Back in the day these set were really popular. I need to try to pick up some lounge chair as more side tables for our backyard remodel. Hauser should reissue them because their new stuff blows! It's all trying to hard, with all those grandma scrolls...get back to basics! This set has great lines and looks fresh 35 years later. I have a 5th chair in the basement. We've been trying to have as many meals in the backyard as possible before the bugs take over.

Ceramic Birds with a bronze iridescent finish made by Sarah Canada



We love birds. These came from the weekend garage sales. $1 apiece, they have this great iridescence to their finish. They're marked Sarah Canada (or is it Canada Sarah...?). Google gave up zero results except for a potentially related jewelery listing on RubyLane. I need more Sarah in my life!
