Saturday Finds...

This morning Kevin and I headed out for 4 sales that looked promising. Two were total frogs, and one turned into a sub sale with 4 houses in the sub having sales! We also stopped at one along the way that had a big sign that said "1/2 off Saturday-with Many Free Things".

This is what I came home with...

The blanket and the popcorn popper came from 1/2 off sale, except when we got there, we were greeted in the driveway by the lady running the sale and she informed us everything was FREE-except a Formica table and a couple of 80's chandeliers.

The Formica table was wonderful-except it had black spray paint on it in an area of about 2'x1' and on the chrome trim. She wanted $50 for it and I had to pass. If it was free, I'd give it a try with removing the paint, even if it was $10 I probably would have tried, but not $50.

I didn't think I got this much stuff! It was all packaged in a couple of small bags (except the magazines), and I kept unwrapping and digging stuff out that I forgot I bought!

I ended up with 5 tablecloths, 3-60's Girl Scout berets, a Girl Scout sash, hanky, neckerchief, socks and handbook, two sets of salty/peppy shakers, a chintz plate and tea cup, an androck nut chopper, a 401 blue and 403 crazy daisy Pyrex mixing bowls (from S/A), a piece of vintage material, a bunch of Good Houskeeping, Life, Better Homes and Gardens, Screenland, Photoplay, and other magazines and booklets from the 30's-60's-as well as a couple Little Golden books-whew!

Kevin picked up 2 free garden hoses, a hedge trimmer and leaf blower-all at the FREE sale! He wasn't even going to get out of the car when we pulled up, but saw the guy stuff and the 1/2 off sign and decided to look around.

It's a hot and muggy day again, about 10 degrees cooler than earlier in the week-so that is a big relief! I'm off to work on those old vanity pieces I got last weekend (if I can tear myself away from all these fantastic magazines!!)-I hope they turn out nice! I was really shocked by the comments about the little white cabinet (that I posted yesterday)!

I was really feeling like I made a bad purchase when I bought it, so thanks for cheering me up about it!

Slow and Easy Saturday...

Today was a very quiet and laid back kind of day. We slept in a bit, made a huge breakfast, and hit a few sales. It has been really gray all day and VERY humid-but no raid...yet!

These are our treasures for today...

A bunch of late fifties/early sixties Good Housekeeping magazines-a quarter each! Don't you just love these covers? I'm having a blast going through them!

A purple Pyrex pie plate.

A purple bowl.

 Not Candlewick-but seems old...

My last galvanized bucket for flowers, and a chicken feeder.

The "guy" stuff Kevin picked up. He actually got the hatchet for free! I've been teasing him about the pill box...he bought it for his prescription acid reducer (that he keeps forgetting to take!)-hoping if he sees the box on the counter in the bathroom everyday, it will remind him to take his pill.

We made a little side-trip to Costco where we found the gutter things he was looking for last weekend at Menards..for less than half the price of Menards! Gotta LOVE Costco-what a bargain!

What were your weekend treasures?
