I did good today! You know it's best just not to go out with high expectations. That usually is a good rule of thumb for me. Didn't have any today and I came home with a suburban full. The first sale I hit this morning I went a little early not thinking they wouldn't even be open and I top the hill and I see cars! I knew the gal and her sister has the same taste in decor as I do. So I knew then I might be in luck. I was right. The little school desk caught my eye right off, not knowing what I would do with it, I looked at the price and for $1 I didn't think much harder. The hanging baskets will work perfectly for fly screens, take a little hardware off and they are already black! The two unfinished pieces I will paint up, and the little red tin is a Brothers Sewing container. Pd $2, a bit high but the desk was only a buck!! The egg crate I pd $5 for, a little high but the desk was only a buck!!
Another good shot of the egg crate. And now for the galvanized goodies. I have said it a million times. I love anything galvanized! I went through this little town on my way to Bartlesville and this little lady was having a sale. I have been to hers before, kinda high, but she always has great stuff. She used to own a junk store next to her house but it all burnt down. Well her son was there today, she has been ill. I bought three chicken feeders and the old milking can for $8! My fav is the square feeder. I may try to hang it from a fence.
I thought the other day I would try and find another chalk board to sit out by my laundry lady and outside the garage of the first tag sale was this chalk board with a $1 tag on it!! I'll need to repaint the chalk board and it will be perfect. The two old rakes I got for $1 each and the galvanized roasting pan was .50!
I also found two old flags for .50 each, why would she sell them they are perfect out on a couple of my old bikes. I have no idea what I pushed to make the font different and I can't find where to change it, but I kinda like it!! I also found a huge bag of (ok) bath towels for the hubbys garage rag drawer. $1 for the big bag. Well there was no paper tonight, and I guess no new tag sales in the morning. Kind of a waste of a perfectly good Saturday! I think I'll sleep in and play with some of my new treasures. I still need to post a pic of my sink on the deck and I painted Taylor three cork board frames for her headboard, but I haven't hung them up yet. I hate the idea of hanging things. I know right now, there is not going to be a stud where I need one to be. Uggggg! Have a safe and fun Fourth of July wherever you live!!!!!!!!
