I only stopped at a couple sales last Saturday, but I did still
manage to find a few sweet treasures!
The Animal Shelter rummage sale was open for the second weekend, and
they were in “make an offer” mode! The books were $1 for a brown paper
bag-full—I could have fit more in the bag, but my shelves are already
overflowing! :-) The basket of flowers was 50¢, as well as the giant
dry-erase wall calendar decal (still in tube).
I found this charming hobnail glass lamp at a different sale.
It didn’t have a price sticker, so I thought for sure it would be too expensive
(anything over $1 requires serious deliberation :-) ), so when the lady said “25¢”,
I just about jumped for joy! Even better, I brought it home and plugged it in,
and it still works fabulously! I think it will end up in my Princess’s bedroom—though
I might just treat it to a coat of pink spray-paint first!
Speaking of spray-paint, this little brass lantern was also 25¢ at the
animal shelter sale (along with the brown candlestick—I’m a sucker for candlesticks
with patina)! As soon as I saw it, I knew it would be the next victim of my
new-found spray paint addiction. :-)
Enter my new favorite spray-paint color: Krylon Blue Ocean
Breeze…
…and I have the perfect addition to my summer bookshelf
display!
This has to be one of my favorite makeovers lately :-). Not bad for 25¢ and a little spray paint, eh?
So have you been finding any great deals lately? What is your favorite way to make an old find fresh and new?
Came over from Winthrop. I, too, have a current addiction to this color. Thank goodness our Hobby Lobby had Krylon on sale last week and I bought every can they had! You really do know how to shop. The lantern makeover is great - who wants to polish brass anyway!
ReplyDeleteMan, I wish we had a Hobby Lobby around here... I'd definitely be doing the same thing! Thanks for stopping by!
