4 Thrift Stores and a Yard Sale

I promised myself that I wouldn’t go junking this weekend, but… Actually, I was looking for a particular item. I needed a low table or stand to put in my office (started a new job last week). I did NOT need everything else that I got. Well, I found the table, although I didn’t get a picture of it. It’s in my car waiting to be unloaded at my office tomorrow. Below are some of the things that I DID take pix of.

These are for holding a shelf. I think I will put them in my diningroom.

Got these "jailer's keys" for $2. I seem to have a key theme going on in my study.

Some jewelry for reworking.

Some shell shaped silver candy dishes? Maybe I'll make them into earrings (Just kidding).

A book on wreath making for 50 cents.

Although these are earrings, I plan to use them in making a windchime.

Oops, I forgot!

I forgot to show you the camera that I got at one of the yard sales on Saturday. The back was missing, but you can't tell. I have several old cameras that I display on top of a window cornice in my study.

Can you tell the back is missing?

Here is my camera collection so far.

As I told you yesterday, I have a watering can collection that I keep on my porch.

Junkin' for Mother's Day

Yesterday, my daughter and I went “junking.” We found some great stuff! First of all, she found a box of Pez dispensers. She got a really great deal on them and can resell them at a profit (we hope). Below are pictures of some of the other treasures we found.


This glider was the first thing I found. It was... are you ready? $2! There isn't a thing wrong with it. The lady said that she hated it and wanted to get rid of it. I have NO idea what is going on with the different color stripes on it. She said that it was craft paint. I doesn't really matter, though, because I'm going to paint it black to match my other porch furniture! What a deal!!!

Aren't these the cutest greeting cards?

I've been needing an edger. Got this one for 3 bucks!

Some jewelry pieces to rework.

A tutu for Daisy

And here she is. She KNOWS she's fancy!

LOVE this book! Only 50 cents!! GREAT ideas in there!

I got this for my b b boyfriend (I have trouble saying that word). He's redoing his bathroom in a tropical design. I hope he can use this candle holder.

This cute little frame caught my eye. I didn't realize until I got it home that I have 2 copies of that same print. Oh well, I was only interested in the frame and mat.

2 more watering cans for my collection. I display them on my porch. I'll show a picture of them all next time.

And the pièce de résistance. My daughter got this for me for Mother’s Day. I have been looking for one of these tables for a year now. Gonna paint it white and put in my kitchen

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day. I DID!!!

Spring at my house

Just wanted to share some pictures of some of the colors around my house. I'm not much of a gardener, but I DO love pretty flowers. I'm learning!!


I wish I could take credit for this rhodadendron, but it came with the house. I should have moved the garbage can before snapping the picture!

Begonias seem to be the only thing I have any luck with!

These are begonias that I planted at my back deck.

This is mama bird sitting on her nest. She is a mourning dove.

This is papa mourning dove waiting patiently for the "arrival." He's perched on an old window I have hanging on my porch. A few days after this was taken, we had a hail storm that got all the panes except one. I have a project in mind for it.
