Junkin

Rush, rush, rush to some garage sales early this morning so we could go to the auction at 10:30.  

 Here are my treasures!
  
Sweet little dress for one of Kyleigh's bigger dolls....

I saw this chair at a yard sale and wasn't sure what was included for $7.....just the chair.....the slip cover.....the two pillows laying in it....

So,  I went over to the girl that was having the sale and said  " I'm interested in buying that slip cover"

She said  " you don't want the chair?....you just want to buy the slip cover? "

 It was all only $7!!!!   I couldn't load it in the car quick enough!

Our daughter is getting married in Oct. and her colors are teal and burlap.   I'm sure I can use these big runners of burlap somewhere.

I bought this big birdcage at the auction for $2.50....no one else wanted it because the tray was gone.     I will use it like a cloche.

This is the coolest thingamajiggy to open wine.....$10

I will paint this gold frame white.....the candle sticks are perfect for Halloween.....and I loved the poodle liquor bottle.

What caught my eye this week end?    I wonder when (or if) they plan to paint the rest of it....it has been this way for a while now.   Anyway....I like it!

  7. Love all of your finds this week. I didn't find anything as exciting as your chair but did find some fun smalls... a cider pitcher with pink roses, a little dish with a cool red lobster, 2 neat large old baskets- lots of stuff for crafting and gifts. An adorable large carousel horse painted in the most awful colors that I wanted to repaint and fru fru with pink roses- went back to get it another day so hb wouldn't be with me and ask why do you want that ugly thing, and guess what- he loves it As (choke) is and won't let me paint it. It is now on the back top shelf of an office bookcase! Go figure!

  20. $7? Wow, what a bargain! It looks like it was meant for your home Penny. I have a giant birdcage in the garden over a small Mock Orange bush. It has grown up through it now. But I'll probably move it somewhere else next Spring. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
    Jann
