Garage sale goodies!

First up is a vintage baby scale~ TOOOO cute and perfect 50's pink!

I got this a few weeks ago for $5.
It will come in handy with a new endeavor I will share with you soon!
*NO, it's not a baby!*

Some antique flatware~ mostly from the 30's I beleive. Ten cents each.

My latest find.... two antique iron fireplace fronts!! I have wanted one forever, as we have a mantel to put in our parlor. I was so lucky to find these... and guess what~ only $10 each!

You can click to enlarge.

Such beautiful scenes!

I was so excited as I adore cherubs. That one is busted on top but I think it can be fixed. I'll probably paint it white later.

They have both been painted, the other has a great patina as is.

The other find was a sheepskin rug... I already had two, but it was so cheap I couldn't pass it up. I'll put it in the bathroom this winter!

I used one to take pictures of Nova when he was 6 months old.

These are some of my favorites!

Naturally, he peed on it~

That was some thick wool to wash!

He's wearing a vintage balloon outfit with trains here.

Cutting teeth and drooling like crazy!

He still sleeps with this elephant.

Some recent junque in my trunk~ all for about $50!

You know times are tough when you have to save money to go YARDSALING. Geesh.

Yeah.

We had a town wide yardsale recently and I found quite a few goodies. I was SO excited because I hadn't been to a sale, fleamarket, or anything in a very, very long time.

First up we have a gorgeous little chandy, are you ready for this?

FIVE BUCKS. Yes. And to think I almost didn't even ask because I ASSUMED it was going to be more than the $35 I had with me!!

I was able to straighten the crooked arm. I found all but 6 of the crystals next to it.

Might go in my bathroom redo upstairs, but for now we hung it in the foyer as we didn't have anything there and it keeps it off of the floor~

LOVE this darling aqua vintage phone for only 75 cents!

Will be so cute with a floral motif added in the center of the dial~

These are hard to find where the receiver hasn't yellowed.
A darling little tin basket!! No lid but that's ok. The colors are so sweet!

Vintage clothespins for crafting...
And this gorgeous mug~ sorry, not the best pic!
Don't be scared! I needed another mannequin head for practice, was so glad to find her and the stand! She has since been shampooed and cleaned up rather nice~
Great vintage fabrics! There's enough of this cute butterfly material for a sundress.
A sweet cherub for a quarter~
I've been wanting to learn ribbon embroidery and found these at two separate sales, woohoo!
Gorgeous vintage bed that my sister and BIL gave me. Has a headboard too, not pictured...

Awesome vintage jewels and hairsticks.... FREE with the $5 CHANDY!!
And last, this beautiful old print. This was at a local consignment shop about a year ago. I really liked it but couldn't think of anywhere to put it. Plus, they wanted like $40 for it.

A few months later they marked it down about ten bucks or so. I thought about it.... but still too much $ and I'm trying to watch what I spend more than ever now.

Next time I went in it was GONE.

Well, of COURSE I wanted it then!! I pouted about it for a while and got over it.

Fast forward to the present... went in last week and it was BACK! I had $28 on my account there and the picture was now $24. SOLD. It's MINE. *wicked laugh*
It is in my dining room now, which is too green I think... will probably go in my parlor when it's finished.

I love the frame too!

Thanks for junkin' with me!

I've also been getting ready for my Gone With the Wind party, have you?
