Some Nostalgia

Good afternoon!

I love the weekends for many reasons but one is.. Garage Sales!

I am helping a friend with their home and while we were out I came upon this that brought up so many memories of growing up.

I remember walking around with the phone and ahem..walking too far and getting yanked.  I remember my parents trying to listen in on my conversations. Oh, the memories.

Being at the sale and seeing this relic I knew I had to have it.  Now every time I walk by it brings a smile to my face.

Check out some garage sales this weekend it just might bring back good memories.

Some Vintage Scores

Good Afternoon!

I love a good garage sale and I have now got my daughter hooked as well.  We were on our way to the grocery store and we saw a sale going on.  I was doing my best to look away but she said, "Let's just take a look. "  Well, if you insist.

So here are her finds..

She got this for a $1 (I still have to take the orange tag off).  The frame was in rough shape so we sprayed it down with a silver metallic paint.  

This picture will go great with this..

 The candle sconce from Zgallerie still had the original price tag on it $25.  Yep, and we scored it for $4.  I am proud of my girl.  She can't wait til we hang up her finds in her room.

This is what I walked away with..

The paint on the legs were brown and chipped pretty badly.  This little stool ($8) needed some love.  Gave it a fresh start with some red.  I love it.

Then for me my ultimate find..

This was my Hallelujah moment.  Angels were singing and I made it mine ($8).  So for the total of scores equals to $21.  Yep, a real good day.

Do you enjoy going garage sale hunting?  What have been your most recent finds?
