It's Yard Sale Season ...

Here's what I picked up this past weekend ... with $7.05. 
 

Chairs: $5
I've been on the look out for some little chairs for Libby's Kitchen.   A coat of paint, a little wood glue & possibly a screw ... and they'll be perfect. The one in good condition was $4, the other one was $1.


Wood ... thing: 25¢
No idea what it is.  Or what I'll do with it.  But I have a hard time passing up a nice piece of wood at this price. [and it is dove-tailed ... which I heard makes it extra nice]

Toile-lidded tin: 5¢
Love red.  Love toile.  He wasn't going to take my nickel, but I insisted. :)

Fireman's hat: 25¢
The very next day my nephew was having a Fireman Birthday Party.  Aunt Rachel splurged.

Big plastic jar with blue lid:  "FREE"
These are great for storage of Legos, crayons, etc.  Couldn't beat the price.

Bag of clothes pins: 50¢
Who can't use a bag of clothes pins?

Frame with art: $1
Gray 16x20 frame with cross-stitched scene ... I love frames that I can use for my larger canvases.  This one was perfect since it didn't come with glass anyway!  And the cross-stitch piece?  I feel guilty saying this ... but I had no intentions of doing anything with it.  I only wanted the frame.  But when I got home & saw how cute it was, I quickly found a home for it.  It's on its way to Georgia. ;)
