Trash to Treasure!!

I found some really great stuff this Saturday!  Don't you just love that picture frame!!!  



Look how ornate the frame is!  I am going to make it beautiful!!!!

129.95....49.95.... nope  $2!!!!

Isn't this pink lamp neat-o, as they would say in the 50's!!

Couldn't pass up this white vintage clock for .25

Remember the old metal trash cans??

This one needs a good cleaning and guess what...it smells like Old Spice!  Will I ever be able to get that smell out? 

These were $1 each...white and distressed???

Does anyone other than me remember these!!!

I got this vintage floor lamp for $5,  the cord is really frayed, replace that and it will be good as new!  I'll need to bling up the shade that came with it!

A little marble on the bottom of the floor lamp!  I got a box of insulators, maybe some kind of chandy?

Fur hat????  Don't ask me why, I just got it!!!

The lady I got the insulators from said if you bake them in the oven, then put them in hot water...wa la, they crack like this!!  I am joining this party:

    What a lot of fun finds. Love that fur hat!;>) I had forgotten about that trick for crackling those insulators. They do look pretty crackled. Have a great Sunday- xo Diana

    Old Spice, fond memories of my Dad. I guess it could have smelled a lot worse. lol I can't believe these prices, especially for the frame and the metal pail. xo

    Wowza, you got some great bargains. Yep, I think I know what those little things are for .50 cents. They look like the little coasters that I seen when I was a child that would go under couch legs. The ones I seen were either wood or hard plastic that had carpet on them to keep from putting dents in the flooring.
    What a neat little tip on how to crackle the insulators, will have to remember that one.
