Junkin' on Saturday


We went to a yard sale on Saturday where the lady hosting it had been a big fan of Mary Engelbreit.   I was able to pick up a few items for my booth and a couple of things to add to my personal collection.

She had this leather card holder full of pretty unused cards....probably about 50 all together.

Here are a few of my favorites....

Before I show you the rest of the Mary Engelbriet,  I wanted you to see this set of unused shower curtains.     There are two panels of brightly colored blocks....

The blocks show several different cities.    I fell in love with them and am thinking about changing out the Paris theme that I have had in the guest bathroom for several years.   Maybe just leave some of the Paris and add a few more cities and the shower curtains...what do you think?    I got both panels for $5.

I also wanted to show you this yard that we saw as we were driving around to the yard sales......   Isn't this metal  plant holder "tree" cute.....

I don't know how many hanging plants were on it,  but it was sure full and pretty!

OK....back to Mary.....lol!     I got a couple of decorating books....

I really liked this one that has four smaller books in it....probably will add it to my personal collection.

 small desk top picture on the left......and a larger one on the right.    

Little metal signs to sit around always sell good in my booth.    The colorful letters are ME....there are 8 of them.

Isn't this Tea Party Game cute.      All  pieces are heavy cardboard...you spin the wheel to see what piece you will get for your party....

The first player to complete their place setting wins the game....
Kyleigh and I will have fun playing this when we have tea in the Tearoom.

I found these two ME chair cushions a few weeks ago at a yard sale......

and I made this ME table runner.   So, now I have a few new pieces to add to my collection.

Thank you so much for stopping by.....come back soon!

  22. these are wonderful finds! I love Mary Englebreit, she makes me smile. That metal tree is quite something as well. I wonder if I can talk the husband into creating something like that for the yard? Really pretty! I'm stopping by from Pink Saturday - Happy Weekend!

  23. Penny,
    I just had to stop by this post again to mention that someone brought in about 20 ME magazines to work. We stock books and magazines for our patient to read and have several book cases and a book cart for them. I am going to temporarily borrow those ME magazines and take photos of pictures I like and post them soon!! I was so excited when i saw them as I used to get that magazine myself years ago!

    Hugs,
    Deb
