Today's Yard Sale Finds

I hit three yard sales today and found a few 'new to me' treasures.
First off I found this BRAND NEW purse with the tag still on it.
As you can see it was regularly $40 and I got it for $3. Woot! Woot!


I paid $1 for this set of 3 metal trays. These are so going to meet up with some spray paint soon.



One sale had tons of Goose Berry Patch cookbooks. I limited myself to just three at $1.50 each.




I found this adorable twin quilt for my granddaughters bed...$5 for it and a pillow sham to match.
And these three prints were $1 each. I probably will be painting the frames black and maybe covering the mats with some scrapbook paper. I may even change out the prints, who knows where a project like this might take me.
Not bad for about 1 hour of my time and $16.50.

  3. Hello Connie! Great finds! I'm jealous, our yard sales around here this year have been quite lacking.:( Also, I love the flowers you made, they are so cute! I was dying to see what you thought of Jake and Vienna breaking up! As soon as I saw it on TV I thought of you! I think it's hilarious! Have a great weekend!

  8. Dropping by from 40 and Over websites. Don't ya love yardsales? I'd go every weekend but my husband hates the idea. So I make do with the secret stop into the Goodwill store.
    I love the quilt. Love anything that even remotely hints at a dragonfly.
