Yard Sale Treasures

I had really looked forward to the two auctions they were having this week end, but.......They were both terrible!  One had mostly "guy things"  tools, guns, junk...you know what I mean!  The other one...all I can say is that most of it should have went to the trash!  Good news is, the yard sales were pretty good.

The extension ladies were having a sale a the fair grounds and I love to go see all those little "older" ladies, they are so sweet!      We went late and they were trying to just get rid of stuff,  so  it was $2 a bag.  

I was amazed at how much would fit in a Walmart bag!       1 pink sheet, 1 yellow floral sheet, a white sheet with little flowers on it....   9 pink and cream place mats....and 2 lace table cloths!


Everything was so nice, clean, and stain free.     I will probably make slip covers from most of the sheets for my outdoor furniture.      The table cloths and place mats will be used for tablescapes.

  There were lots of tables at the sale where I bought these ....all piled with kids clothes, but one of the tables had these at the very end of it.     There was a big sign in front of the tables that .25 each.  So, I asked one of the ladies "how much for these"  ..thinking the sign was for the clothes only.    She said "I will have to check, I'm sure the girl that has them wants more than .25 for these"   She came back and said "yep. .25 for these too"  

$1....



You all know how much  I love anything with flowers on it....

so, I couldn't pass this beauty up!

.50.....

.50....
and $2.50 for this rusty crusty planter!  

We got a nice little rain shower here last night  and have a chance for rain everyday this week.   It has been very dry and we really need the rain!         Have a blessed Sunday...

  2. Penny,
    Love everything but I especially love that planter in the last picture....
    My garden is being attacked by an unknown critter. He gnawed 2 pots of petunias and all the zinnias that I planted from seeds right down to almost nothing!! Also dug a huge hole in one of my large pots with the alberta spruces in it and I think he killed the tree!! This means war!!! LOL!
    I am still sore from my fall but better. We are getting pelted with rain.. an inch or more a day!! Of course, the rain is making my joints scream too!!

    Hugs,
    Deb
