Aunt Ann said “Erin, come here, there’s something I want to show you…”

And it was this: A folding chair made from a carpet bag, we assume from a carpetbagger’s carpet bag. I’m sure Aunt Ann will be checking with the local museum to find out what historic relevance this has. But what an interesting find! I did some light online research, hoping to find that there was a particular time when carpet bags were often repurposed in this manner, to no avail. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the verdict on this piece.
