Garage Sale Goodies!

This past Friday my husband surprised me by asking me if I wanted to go to garage sales. Yeah, of course I do! So I jumped out of bed and 2 minutes later I was ready! Dropped my daughter off to school and we were on our way.

I love these white pots, aren't they yummy?

Oh this huge creamy bathroom rug was a steal for only $3. Love it!

See the price? I think this would be great to start my very own terrarium. I have always wanted to make one.

This cute seagull was begging to come home with me, and for $1 dollar, it did.

I just noticed that everything I purchased is white! Anyways these 2 bird house were only $3 for both, I might change the roof color to maybe navy blue, or red.

At last my very own sander!!!! I have been wanting one for a while, $7.50 was so worth the wait.

There you have it, my wonderful finds. Thank you for visiting.

XOXO

P.S. I just went to Goodwill the other day to buy a novel for a project and came home with 2 bags full of stuff! Love, love goodwill.

Goodwill Goodies

Here are some items I found this weekend. Of course this is only the home decor stuff, my son and daughter also scored on some great finds. I think they are finally starting to like GW.Let me start of by saying, I love frames! My husband still doesn't understand

my obsession with them, but that's OK.
Next is this pretty silver plated cup with white roses($1.25), and this
desk organizer($5) that will come in handy.


This tall candle stick took my breath away! Imagine how gorgeous it will
look once it meets Heirloom White?

These 2 pottery barn cups were only .75 cents each, they will probably
be used for office supplies.

Last, but not least, these two trays... they just need a little bit of cleaning.

Well this is all for now, be sure to come back tomorrow for some mini before and afters of my Goodwill and Garage sales finds. Thank you as always for your kind visit. :)

Goodwill Goodies!

Here are more of my GW finds, I am seriously addicted to this place! That's OK, right? Well, here's an overview picture of the cute stuff I found.

I love this little blue house ($2), not quite sure where it will end up just yet.
I plan on painting the silver jewelry box ($1.75) white (surprised?), and will keep the frame ($1.00) as is. The have been looking for napkin holders like these, they were only $1.75.


I love my new trash can ($1.00), I needed one for my desk. The birdhouse with the white picket fence was just too adorable and for $2, I knew I could give it some TLC.


Oh yes, this heavy white serving tray was a steal for only $2! I can't wait to use it for our next gathering.

Last, but definitely not least, this GORGEOUS mirror by Carolina. Well that's what the label on the back said. Judging by the size (roughly 3'h x 4'w), and weight it seems to be a pricey mirror, but of course I got it for FREE!! How?? I had a coupon for $25 off a $50 purchase, the price on the mirror was only $20.75. I received so many envious looks that day. It was the most uncomfortable walk to the register ever! Even the poor guy helping me carry the mirror out said, "wow, you sure have upset the women in here." Seriously ladies, it's Goodwill! We all know it's a hit or miss type of store, so why hate? I'm so glad you all are nothing like those meanie women.

Look at the details!! So the question now is, should I leave it as is, or paint it white (heirloom white)? Your opinion will be so much appreciated, thank you in advance.

This is all I got for now, come back tomorrow K?

Be sure to go by and be inspired by all the ladies participating and to leave a kind comment. As always, thank you so much for stopping by and allowing my blog to be part of your day!

Goodwill Goodies!

Another week of wonderful finds at my local Goodwill Store. I love the feeling I get when I find stuff I actually need, don't you. For example, I needed a lamp for my daughter's room (which is still in the works) and I found the perfect one for $2.75, all it needs is a shade makeover.

I also scored on the cute white shelf ($5.00), lrg birdhouse($$3.50), wall outdoor plaques (3.75 each), glass beads ($1), gold alphabet blocks(.75), sm bird house(.75) and a brown candle holder ( I think that's what it is, all I know is that it will get a heirloom white makeover).

Closer look at the lrg bird house, I'm thinking some pretty spa blue candles with lrg glass beads. Any other ideas??


Love what the plaques say, I thought about painting them white, what do you think? They are pretty as is....hmmm.(help)


Thank you so much for stopping by, your visit is very appreciated. They actually feel like warm hugs (wink).

Make sure to check out all 3 wonderful blogs!!

my treasure finds

Here is look of all my wonderful finds from my local Goodwill Store. I try to limit myself to one visit each week, but sometimes I just have to go for seconds, do you know what I mean? Snowmen globe ornaments 3 for $2.75, they are heavy! I'm thinking of using them on a winter wreath. I heart urns, do you? (only $2.25) .75 cents for this cute tea light holder The set of 4 napkin holder mini frame/place cards were $2.75 and the heavy candle holder on the bottom was $3ea (I bought 2 of them) I have plans for this cute $5 stool. It will be part of my next decorating project. I just fell in love with this piece ($6). I have no idea what to use it for, so if you have any ideas please send some my way. Last, but not least, this picture was $8.75 and it caught my eye the moment I saw it, it's something about the black and gold combo. (sorry for the glare)

Goodwill Find for only $10

This piece of furniture was a dated dark brown wood. I added the wood appliques, painted it, and stressed it. I think it came out pretty good, if I do say so myself. :)
