The weather has been GORGEOUS here for the last 8 days or so after having weeks of rain\u2026 and the yard sales have been everywhere you can look.  I actually had my own yard sale last weekend on Thursday and Friday so didn\u2019t stop at any sales on Friday.    And I really didn\u2019t think I would stop at many on Saturday as I was headed out later in the morning to take some of my stuff that didn\u2019t sell to donate.  But you know I can\u2019t pass up a sign if I pass it! \"Winking<\/p>\n

I saw that the lady that I had bought all those rugs and that sunburst mirror was having another sale and she said she would add more each time so I had to stop.  In fact, I bought so much, I had her hold it until I could come back with my husband\u2019s truck! \"Smile\" <\/p>\n

I had seen this metal baker\u2019s rack at her previous sale and a few days later I had wished I had bought it.  I realized I could have used it on my deck to display plants and things on it and also use it as sort of a serving station with a beverage dispenser, cups, and such when we had a cookout.<\/p>\n

Luckily she still had it, so for $20 it came home with me.  It got a spray paint makeover this week so look for that soon on the blog.<\/p>\n

She also had some GRAY rugs this time \u2013 yay!!  The darker gray one is a wool rug and was $10.  And the lighter gray rug was only $2 \u2013 it isn\u2019t bound on 2 of the sides but that is ok with me.  I am working on cleaning them and hope to get them in place after playing around with where they should go this week.<\/p>\n

I also bought this floor pillow for $2 and my nieces love it.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0082\"<\/p>\n

Her next door neighbor was having a sale and had some amazing furniture and even better prices.  I picked up this super cute twin headboard and footboard and rails for $10.  It has already been painted with some new chalky finish paint that I have been trying and I just love it \u2013 look for it soon!<\/p>\n

And this\u2026 oh my.  I fell in love with this little bench.    $8 and it hopped in the back of the truck too as fast as I could get it there. \"Winking<\/p>\n

See this pin on my Entryway Pinterest<\/a> Board? <\/p>\n

\"IMG_8829<\/p>\n

Yep, added it THREE years ago\u2026 I have dreamed of having an old church pew gracing my entryway in this craftsman\/maybe a bit Farmhouse style house.  I have been seriously motivated recently to get things done and BUSY painting everything in site.  So this bench has had a complete makeover since last Saturday and you are going to LOVE the after! \"Smile\"  Still working on finding the Craftsman style house but I have this little miniature pew bench (of course with a cute little thrift store pillow on it) gracing my entryway right now.<\/p>\n

I also stopped at a church sale and picked up this set of glass canisters for $5.  I have 2 other smaller ones like this and have wanted to find more because they stack and I just love them.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0088\"<\/p>\n

Most of them still had stickers on the bottom like this \u2013 $10, $8 each so $5 for all 4 was definitely a steal!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0091\"<\/p>\n

I also picked up 2 outdoor green pillows from Kohl\u2019s for $1 each \u2013 was thrilled to find these as regular fabric just doesn\u2019t last long against fading and stains outside.  And these are almost brand new.  The little faux potted plant was $1 too.  I love real plants but in some places like bookshelves and such where you would forget to water them or they wouldn\u2019t get enough light I love to use little fake plants.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0081\"<\/p>\n

And I picked up these 12 brown placemats for $1.00.  I certainly don\u2019t need 12 but am going to share 6 with my friend Molly since it was $1 whether I took 6 or took all 12.<\/p>\n

So that was my yard sale shopping adventures last weekend.  For thinking I wasn\u2019t going to get to go since I was having my own sale to coming home with a haul like this was pretty fun! \"Smile\"  Looks like another gorgeous weekend here again too \u2013 hope you get to get out and find some treasures this weekend!  Share them on my facebook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
