Weekend Treasure Hunt


I just realized that I haven't done a Weekend Treasure Hunt post in a long time!    H and I have had a busy spring and have not had time to go yard sale-ing in a while,  but we "made time" on Saturday.   Sometimes you just have to make time to have fun don't you!


I always pick up large baskets when I find them at a good price.   The one on the left was $2 and the one on the right was $1.    I use them in my studio to store small items......I hang them on my bicycles......there are just so many ways you can use baskets.


If you follow my blog,   you know I use sheets in a lot of my decorating projects.     It's the best way to get large pieces of fabric for little money.


I find it hard to pass up vintage look shams since I use them in my outdoor decorating projects.    I found my family of 5 little pigs for $2 and plan to use them in a farmhouse style fairy garden.


More linens and farm animals.......


and I bet you aren't surprised to see MORE linens and farm animals....lol!


H is the collector of Corning Ware in the family and he loves to use these small pieces with lids when he cooks.


I really liked the barbed wire handle on this metal basket.


I haven't seen a wicker Funeral basket in an long time and I was glad to get this one for $9.     In the background,   you can see how the food for our Memorial Day celebration is piling up on the Hoosier.    


Have a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend!

    Great items, Penny!! I love the baskets and that reminds me that I have a green one that I have not used in a while. I love the cute little pigs especially those depicting flying pigs!! And I laughed when I saw the corning ware because I have those same 2 pieces but they were bought for me at my wedding shower!! 39 years ago and I still use them!! Great finds!! Have a wonderful weekend with your family celebrating the Holiday. I am off Monday night so we will be doing our cook in tomorrow evening.....
    Hugs,
    Deb

    I find great buys on pillow shams at Salvation Army and Goodwill, especially on half price days.

    Penny, love the pigs. I bypassed a standing pig for 99 cents only to change my mind and it was gone when I went back. I buy a lot of baskets at GW. I am curious. Does the end on the kitchen island slide out ? One of my favorite things in your home is that really long buffet cabinet. Will you show us that again?

    I always enjoy meeting another Penny--even if it's a fellow online blogger. I've also got two itsy bitsy corning casseroles that I rescued from my mother-in-law's basement (She wasn't much for cooking.) the lids are a thick, ugly plastic but the corning dishes are pristine with that lovely blue flower-like design. great for making individual cobblers.

    What great finds! Thrifting is the best! Those linens are beautiful and I may or may not be a little jealous of the Corning Ware finds.

    You always find the coolest stuff at yard sales. I love the two old piano stools painted pink in your kitchen. Can't wait to see the farm animal fairy garden.
