Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays
A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words for 2nd Time Around Tuesday
Coloradolady for Vintage Thingie Thursday
Well, last weekend was disappointing, to say the least.
The weather was beautiful,
so I expected to see LOTS of garage sales...
no such luck.
We
My daughter and I hit a small one and picked up
a pink Depression Glass plate and a container of small ornaments.
I'm sure the plate is a reproduction, but it's still pretty
and for a buck I couldn't leave it there.
I'll figure out some crafty thing to do
with the ornaments (.50) come winter.
We then stopped in at Salvation Army.
Their prices are kinda high, but we were desperate!
I walked out with this pretty pillow sham ($2)
Depressed by the lack of the hunt
we headed over to the Antiques Mall.
I walked out with some great magazines ($1 ea).
I'm a magazine-aholic.
I'm a magazine-aholic.
With prices for mags are through the roof,
I noticed this vintage reindeer candle ($1),
Then I spied an adorable napkin holder ($5).
Not sure if you can see, but it is a cup of coffee
with steam rising.
I'm going to use it to hold by Mr Clean Eraser.
I've been looking for shelves to place on top of
a small cabinet I have in the living room.
When I saw this hutch I knew it would work.
I do need to give it a light makeover,
but love the shape.
sure doesn't look like a dud...good treasures!!!
ReplyDeleteI would say that you found some great treasures! Ours was a complete bust though. No sales, nothing at the SA, and the antique mall I had just been to and didn't find ANYTHING I couldn't live without!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! You did real good despite the lack of yard sales. LOVE the cupboard!
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful week.
TTFN ~Hugs in love, Marydon

You kept going until it wasn't a dud! I love the pink plate and hey $1 it's cute even if it is a reproduction. That cabinet is awesome! I love my eraser thingy and that is a cute way to hold it. Now I'm on the hunt. Thanks for visiting me and leaving such a nice comment. I love dragonflies so you blog grabbed me straight off.

Happy NTT!!
Looks like you found some real treasures! What a great day after all!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,

Found you from NTT. LOVE the hutch. It's a great size, one that can be moved around easily when you want to mix things up. I'm sure you'll fill it with beautiful things.
ReplyDeleteI love magazines, too, and, like you, I love it when I can find used ones. Can't believe how much new ones costs now.
ReplyDeleteI love all your treasures but especially am lovin that hutch...:))
wow! I think you got a lot of good stuff there! You definitely saved the best for last. That hutch is adorable!
ReplyDeletegail
You still found some good stuff and it wasn't a complete washout! Love the pillow case. I found you on Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays at Coastal Charm.
ReplyDeleteI have that plate in Green, and a pretty plate, is a pretty plate.
ReplyDeleteI really love that hutch! Great find. Have a great VTT!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when there aren't any good sales but i must say the pickings have been excellent around here recently. I know what you mean about getting desperate when the pickings are slim. I resort to eBay ... (bad girl!!)
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of stuff for one day.
ReplyDeleteI certainly know how you feel about a disappointing yard sale day or thrift shop hunt. I can't seem to go home until I get my "fix!"
ReplyDeleteI do love that sweet little reindeer, I would have purchased her too!
Fondly,
Ann

You still got some great deal and pretty things, maybe this weekend Yard sales will be better. I hope so. Got the fever! Have fun, Vicky
ReplyDeleteYou ended up with a few good things! The reindeer is so cute and I love the pillow sham too. Can't wait to see the hutch done up.
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when a 'so-so' yard saling trip turns into a "WooHoo" trip? I have had that happen to me more times than I care to think. Just when you are ready t pack it up and go home, you find a goldmine! Great finds.
ReplyDeleteYes, garage saling is just awful here too. I love that hutch that came home with you, especially the curvaceous sides! I can't wait to see what you're going to put on it!
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT!
Carol
I love all your finds...that hutch is so pretty. I can't wait to see what you do with it.
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT...
Antique malls are so much fun! You found some great stuff, especially that hutch:)
ReplyDeleteI love your reindeer candle - it brings back such memories for me, we had a little wax lamb ornament with silver glitter when I was little. It predated me, I think it was from the 40's??? And I love the napkin holder - I was a bit lost at first and then it began to take shape. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like your hutch! Old magazines, especially favorite ones are always a treat!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
What a great antique mall! Looks like you did OK in the end! :)
