Weekend Wrap-Up

It was a beautiful weekend and my daughter and I decided to take Saturday to hit some yard sales in a neighboring city. We had a great day and found some pretty good finds.

I am not sure why, but I liked this little bird. I have a thing for glass. I got him for just 5¢.

I picked up a solid white linen tablecloth with no stains or marks for just 75¢.

Not sure what these were. They have the feel of a cloth napkin, but they are smaller than any I have ever seen. But since there were four of them, I think that is what they are. I got the whole set for just 50¢.

I love tin cans. I don't collect them per se, but if I see one I like I will get it. Especially when it was just 25¢.

This little crystal jar was so pretty and in perfect shape. I was looking for something to keep rubber bands in for my home office so that is what I am using it for. It was $1.00.

I am starting to gather quite a few little cream pitchers. I am not sure why, but they are so cute that I just started collecting them. This one was just 25¢.

My daughter found these plates for me and together they were 75¢ so I got them. Look for them in a future posts holding a candle or something.

I love this little vintage style powder box. I am not sure if it is actual vintage or not, but I picked it up to send my cousin Patty because it matches the Victorian style of her home. I can't remember what I paid for it, but it was either $1.00 or 50¢. 

And the whole reason we went yard selling was because I saw a pitcher on Craig's List for $4.00 that was from the 1930's to early 1940's. It is made in the USA. And I called the lady and she was going to hold it for me until I could get to her yard sale on Saturday. She did and I am so happy with it. It is a lot bigger than what I thought it would be, but you can tell it was definitely made to use not for decor. I am loving it.

After we left all the yard sales, we made a quick dash to Walmart. I picked up some yarn to make coasters. I have a pattern I use that makes beautiful plastic canvas coasters with variegated yarn. I show them to you when I make them.

And I picked up some curtains that are the room darkening. I know with them being pink you wouldn't think they would darken. But they do and I love them. 

I tried to iron them, but they are going to need a wash to get all the wrinkles out. But I wanted to hang them first to see if I am going to like them before I went to all that trouble. I will have to take them down this week and take care of the wrinkles. The curtains triggered a whole energy moment where I cleaned the office/craft room from top to bottom and got organized. Be sure and come back tomorrow to see how my room finally finished up.
