Yard Sale Finds 5/1/10

Lucky Me! One of the big neighborhoods in town was holding their "1st Saturday in May Community Yard Sale"! I bet I hit 20 houses, (wait...that sort-of sounds like a robbery...I shopped at these houses) and some of the prices were INCREDIBLE! Now, some folks wanted $1.50 for Harlequin Romances, $5.00 for used picture frames...one lady was asking $60.00 for a queen comforter, used (and stained...omw*). I bid them a good morning, and kept on trucking.

Let me show you my finds! (Sorry...the color is not great. Trust me, these are FABULOUS in person!
Now for the breakdown: left to right...

Pillows, $1.00 each. I found the patterned ones at one sale, the solid at another, and they match perfectly! These will go in my bedroom...I'll get a picture!

Old Milk Bottle: .25 cents, marked "Southern Dairy Farm, Tuscaloosa, Al."
Picture frames: .50 cents each This will go to Melissa for her wedding reception tables.

Set of 9 Mark Twain Novels: $1.00 each...I may use some of these for my book wreaths, don't know. Not all of the spines match, so don't know if I will use all of them on a table scape.

Little green "Urn" looking thing, and green bowl, both "distressed" looking, .50 cents each
Vase with large ceramic egg and nest, $1.00. this was my favorite find!

Clear glass apothecary jar: $1.00 Hard to see, sorry!

Tall red glass bottle, $1.00

Large pink heavy tray: $2.00 will probably use this as wall art in my bedroom if I keep it pink, or as a tray somewhere else if I stain it brown.

(in front of tray), Hanging organizer things for Em's closet: $1.00 each (we were just looking at the EXACT same thing at Lowe;s last night, $12.99 each

Picture frame holder, again, for Melissa's reception, .50cents

Framed botanical prints, $1.00 each...these will probably go in my bare-walled kitchen!

Black lantern, .50 cents

Baptist Hymnal. .25...will use in a book wreath project.

Grand Total: $21.50 (not including Twain Novels, which was part of my B'day present to myself!)

PLUS, I had a BLAST, and nothing will need anymore work to fit into my overall design scheme!! SCORE!
