Week end Shopping

H and I had lots of fun this past week end....we relaxed, hit a few yard sales, a couple of antique stores, and did a little clothes shopping.  H hates clothes shopping but I did manage to talk him into a couple of  jeans and a few new shirts. (we won't talk about what all I bought for myself..lol)  We are flying to NY in Aug. to visit family and I want him to look spiffy!

 Anyway, here is my loot from the yard sales....

Paris theme picture for $5...

I already have two beautiful brass scales...so, this one is going white!

Some see this as a pot without a top....I see it as a beautiful vase.

I think this $2 ceiling light fixture will make a great hanging bird bath....

$1 glittered bunny....

 $2 for all three Christmas candle holders....they need some white paint and lots of glitter.

This is the cutest little vintage globe.  I bought it at an antique shop...15% off of $10.

I almost forgot to show you this vintage thingy that H bought...$10 at an estate sale..

it will look great displayed in his workshop!

H already has the Paris theme picture out in the garage getting a makeover.  He is also painting my old picnic basket a fresh new white color.  I am planning a picnic later this week ....what fun!

  1. Great finds! We have a yard sale every year that goes through 3 or 4 counties. I look forward to going every year. This year it is the first weekend in August. I love it!

  2. Hi Penny,
    I love your newest treasures! That picture frame is gorgeous! It is so much fun searching, isn't it? Thanks for sharing! Take care, Karen

  3. You give me hope for the vintage frame I have, my husband threw it on the burnpile, and I rescued it before he lit the match. It was once beautiful, hopefully, it will be again. Love all your great finds Penny!

  10. Oh I love the Christmas candlesticks Penny! I can't wait to see them painted and glitterfied :-) All of your and H's finds are wonderful and I would have bought the same lol!

  11. Penny,
    Great treasures!! I specially LOVE the picture!! Can't wait to see how they look once you work your magic on them!
    So H. is familiar with the hot and humid heat we have in the Northeast???
    I beleive you have a much drier type of heat in N.M....
    It was in the 80's yesterday but the humidity was so high you could cut the air with a knife. Stiffling! I hope the weather will be nicer for your trip to N.Y.!!

    Hugs,
    Deb

  12. I have a weird obsession with globs, surprisingly I just bought my first antique globe a few weeks ago. Thats my favorite of your weekend buys...Oh I also love the scale.

  13. I really like the globe and the bunny. For me the glove represents all the places I've traveled and the new places I want to see. The bunny represents cutness! I love bunnies. Be sure and post photos of the christmas decorations after you bling-a-fy them. LOL! ~Ellen

  14. Love your weekend haul. The Christmas figures are spectacular. The shelf liner we see in your kitchen cabinet looks adorable, did you make it or was it a find? Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  15. I found one of those scales this weekend for $3 also!!!! How strange... I didn't buy it and am kicking myself now.... What part of the country are you in? I wonder if we happened upon the same sale? lol!

    Suzie @ Dorothy Sue and Millie B's too
