Weekend Treasure Hunt


The pick'ns were pretty good this past weekend.    


I fell in love with some frilly dresses at one of the sales.....


They were $1 each......


I repurpose little dresses all the time,  so I pick them up whenever I find good clean ones.    Lamp shade covers are my favorite way to use them,  but I also use them in craft projects too.


Out of season items are always cheap at yard sales....my bunny was $1.    I don't guess I've ever met a pretty plate that I could pass up...lol!


Stainfree,  smellfree  decorative pillows are always hard to find at yard sales,  so I always pick them up if they are less than $2.
 My Silvercrest collection is growing and growing.....but I couldn't pass up a little bowl for  .50

I use boots in my vignettes sometimes.....remember I live in the Southwest (eastern New Mexico)   These blingy little girl boots were $1 and the gold Disney spoon was too.    


Aqua enamel tea pot.......house cookie jar......vintage hanging scale and a drawer piece from an old sewing machine completes my finds for the weekend.

  3. Wonderful finds, Penny! I love the aqua enamel teapot. That would look sweet sitting on my stove top. ;-) The cookie jar is adorable. Thanks for sharing.

  7. Nice. I never thought of using an old dress. I have girls so I could have done so much.

  10. Hello Penny,
    What wonderful finds! I haven't been yard sales for a while now and your treasures inspires me to try to get out and go again. What a fab idea for lamp shades! Those two dresses will be very romantic.
    Hugs,

  11. I have not gone to a garage sale in years, but just had heart surgery to fix a problem and the first thing I am going to do is GARAGE SALE. So excited, I see all your treasures and get so happy knowing I can get out of the house to do my favorite thing.

  12. I know what you mean about the pillows; I've passed on lots of them because of the odor.
