Friday was my day off from Employee Appreciation Week...... my favorite part of the week. Usually John takes off and we head up north for a long weekend. This year we had a few events planned that kept us at home. So Friday I was alone and free to do what I wanted. GARAGE SALES!!
They started off really slow..... I found this plastic water lily for .10 cents. It might not last too long but I couldn't resist a bit of pretty for our pond.
Then I found this table and things started to look up.
A detail wood wall hanging
A ugly tray (guess I took that photo upside down)
A farmhouse stool, you all know I love my farmhouse stools.
A couple of old table leaves that will be perfect for a project I'm brewing up.
Metal canisters
A ratty old shelf that I just couldn't leave behind.
A child's chair that has no legs.... perfect for a photo prop for those babies that risk falling off their chairs.
A number of other items I didn't photograph including an Old Navy Bubble Bee and Skunk costume for the littlest granddaughters.
And then when I walked into a sale and the furniture starts to beg me to fix it up it must be time to go home. After buying this challenge of course.
I started to take the tacks out of the stool and grunted and groaned that they were too tight, too many, too hard, too............. and then John did it. Totally in my plans :)
Well he found these were used for the cushion. A t-shirt, button up shirt, a sweater and a pair of shorts. That's crazy!!
Later....
