Garage sale finds....LONG post

This weekend was the city-wide garage sale in our town. It started Thursday, when the weather was much nicer than today. I hit two or three sales on Thursday and 10 or so on Friday.

Here's what I bought...I spent less than $80...

Cute as is, although I may paint it a different color. I'm planning on hanging in my laundry room.


Picture one letter on each of these tiny plaques, spelling out a name, then lining them up in one large frame.


I've been looking for one of these so I can quit borrowing from my friend, my sister, my church. This even has the optional 3-pan server!


I've been looking at different options for bedside lamps, but haven't liked anything. Until I saw two of these. Perfect!



I also found two bedside tables that will work much better for both of us. Here's mine...


and here's his...


I few weeks ago I found an oval frame, and the plan was to have a mirror made for it. Instead, I found this larger oval mirror. All I have to do is spray paint the frame. I'm thinking turquoise...



Not sure where I will put this scale, but I fell in love with the patina and the numbers!


An old baking powder tin from the K. C. Baking Powder company. Love the colors!


Ugly, I know. I want to spray paint it white and use old stencils for a personalized welcome message.



Call me crazy, but I LOVE this baby scale! It is sitting on my kitchen table filled with loaves of bread.


Nice sturdy laundry cart with a shelf to hold up the bag when it is overflowing!


And the absolute BEST. GARAGE. SALE. FIND. EVER.........





From the Paramount Theatre....currently resting on my property....

SCORE!!!!!

  4. Great job! I LOVE the old kitchen scale! I've been looking for one of those....
    the bedside lamps and your bedside table rock.

    I've got a roaster with the three divided servers - use it ALL THE TIME when the family is home, and during the holidays.
    Blessings~

  6. Paula, I just can't believe you got so many beautiful treasures for so little money. We live in one of those places tourists like to visit on the weekends. We have a number of antique and old wares stores packed with gorgeous furniture etc but prices are so expensive, aimed at the visitors. I love garage sales but never seem to get there early enough! You certainly have a talent, a eye for possibilities. God bless.
