4th of July Treasure Hunt

H and I had a quiet 4th of July week end....the kids were either working or went to the lake to do a little boating.    We are getting a little old to ski , so we didn't join them (H used to love to ski...me not so much)   We decided to drive to Lubbock.    We had a nice drive,  a great lunch,  did some shopping,  and went by a few yard sales.

We stopped by a yard sale on the way out of town and I fell in love with this old wooden dryer.    We knew the folks having the sale...this dryer belonged to a school mate of mine....Sherri Brewer...so it is kind of special!

I have the dryer filled with a bunch of doilies.....$10 for all of them.

My grandmother had a picture like this hung over her TV for years, so I couldn't pass it up!     Vintage Home Interior...$10.

The guy having this yard sale was really in the 4th of July spirit!

He had lots of Christmas stuff!   I bought the black record holder in the next photo from him for .50.   I am going to repurpose it as a dish holder.

                                 The small rose bowl was .50.....the strawberry tea pot was $1....and the rose   water pitcher was also $1

I found another strawberry ceramic cake...$5...

I bought one a few weeks ago for $5 too!    The one on the left is the new one...the right is the old one.

 

It was a gorgeous day,  and there were lots of shoppers.

I bought Kyleigh this Lisa doll for $1     She is supposed to sing, talk, and walk,  we'll put some batteries in her when Ky gets here tomorro and see if she works,

They didn't have a lot of stuff at this yard sale....

but,  I did find a pretty topiary for .25.

there's a cute little bee on the top.

I plan to paint this chandy white and shabby it up a bit!   

This was a "in the house" sale.   

Another record holder for .50 and a cute ceramic strawberry wall plaque for .75.

This rusty, crusty hanging planter was $1....

 

AND  of course....no road trip is complete without a stop by Michaels for some 70% off  silk flowers,  chicken wire cloches, and a chicken wire bird cage.      I also used a 15% off coupon on your total purchase that included the 70% off things!     Can't beat that with a stick!!!
