My Weekend Finds.....

My mom's town had a town wide garage sale this pass weekend.  I love town wide garage sales.  To have so many to go to in one day.  Love it!  We planned it right, started early and ended by noon.   Went for a nice lunch and was heading home by 1:30.  Still time to putter around at home. 

I loved everything I got and the deals, I think people were giving things away.

This set, you wouldn't believe what I got it for....$15!  It was a steal.

Just weather beaten from the sun mostly.  The frames are in great shape.  A new coat of paint

and some new cushions.  Beautiful!

This I couldn't pass up.  It's functional, nice height and clean.  Brand new.  It's a piece from Ikea, which I love their stuff.  She never used it.....$5  I just have to figure out where to put it.

  

How can you pass this up?  I couldn't!  It was calling my name. I seen her from the time I parked my car.  Went right to her.....$3.  She's mine. 

I love pumpkins.  They light up and all three cost me $5.  The snowman, cute!  $5.  He has a level in the back that makes him taller.  Nice addition to my Christmas decor.  The window, $2, which I always wanted to paint on one.  And the tin square.  $5.  I liked it, don't know what I'm going to do with it.  But I like it.  Now the desk....the best find of the day.  Missing one knob, which is in the draw.   Great shape, like the color.....Free!   I was driving home and passed a sale with a sign that had free on it.  Couldn't believe nobody picked it up.  Maybe because it was so big.  Not a problem for me.  One way or another, it was fitting in my van. 

Now I have a couple of projects to work on.  It should keep me busy for a bit. One thing about the nice weather.  I love to work on things outside.  Just wish the days didn't go so fast.

Enjoy your week!

Back to life...

Hit Lowe's during the week and scored some spray paint on clearance.

$1.00 a can.  Don't know why it was marked down, wasn't going to ask.  Just grabbed and went.

Sorry I didn't get more, went back, it was all gone.

So figured, what better way to use the paint that I have.  Redo all my outside decorations.

Everything I had was either, faded, rusted or ready or the garbage.

Not no more!  Everything got a face lift.  There was color around, but not popping out at you.

Now it is.  The only thing left I have to do.  Is stain the arbor and fence.

After that, everything will go back into its place.  Cant wait to see what it looks like.



 Didn't think I had that much to paint.  But I do. 

I love redoing things that don't cost anything.

Enjoy your weekend.....

Happy Earth Day!

Another one for the birds.  These are plates that I found in the thrift store.  They are metal, must of paid $5 for both.  Didnt know what to do with them.   

Then finally, made them into bird feeders.

Happy the way they turned out.  The way the birds have been hitting them, I think they are too!

Have a good week!

For The Birds....

I have so many baskets that I dont know what to do with.  So sprayed some down to seal it better from the weather.  Maybe, just so it lasts a bit longer.  I put a plastic lid from a container in the bottom so the seed wouldnt fall out as much.  Hung it on a hook. Then just sat and watched.  The birds love it and I love looking at the birds. 

Enjoy your weekend!
