Drawstring Bags

Can you believe we are in a new month??
November?!
I need to get in gear and start my Holiday Shopping......
before the stores get any crazier than they already are!

In the mean time I'm joining these party's this week ♥♥

Be sure to visit these wonderful Ladies, you won't be sorry!

I was able to make a quick stop at an Estate Sale.
It was quick because I had an hour left til it ended!
I was hoping to find things marked down.
But they started out pricey and stayed that way :(
Probably why after 2 days of sales,
there were still so many things left!

I did managed to find a couple fun things tho...
don't I always?  ;)

These cute little Snow Babies will find a use somewhere.


This person must have done woodworking/cabinetry/etc because there were 4 storage sheds in the back with tons of that kind of thing in them.
One was full of all different kinds of cabinet knobs and hardware.
It was overwhelming.

I didn't need anything like that
but did find a box with some odds and ends,
which included these fun things.

A couple of odd knobs, handles.
The triangle thing is a foot, top left. 
Sure wish I could have found more of them.
It looks old and just plain neat!


There was a coffee can in a corner of one of the sheds.
It seemed to have been over looked by everyone.
Now when we cleaned out the farm,
I remember finding SO MANY coffee cans
 with so many different things in them. I swear Mom and Dad must have saved every coffee an they ever opened!

Anyway, I opened this one and found it full of drawstring bags....


stuffed full by the way!!!


Some still have the paper tags attached to them.
I have all my Dad's that we found,
 but now I can do/make fun things with these
and save his ;)

Everything I picked up didn't have a price
so I held my breath as I approached check out.
$8.oo for all...
not too bad.

  5. Estate sales are the best! Hey, thanks for your note on my blog -- you're right, that thing that looks like a paint can opener is probably a screwdriver!

  8. My dads garage was filled with coffee cans full of nails,bolts etc. Most parents grew up with the thought of waste not, want not.You never know what you might find.
