A Weekends Work


Last weekend while we were at Yakima at a Volleyball tournament and I came across an awesome garage sale...We were headed for the Goodwill (Yes...That's the first place I head when the kids are between games)!  When we spotted a garage sale in a beautiful old neighborhood...My Favorite!!!   Not only are the "finds" usually Great but I just love looking at the old houses and their lovely gardens!!!


Anyway - This one did not disappoint!! I picked up this incredible vintage typewriter....


And these WAY COOL TIKI GLASSES...LOVE THEM!!!



I also got the crystal lamp you see in the background...It cleaned up beautifully...The shade is up in my sewing room getting ready for a "face lift"...It will be a later post.  :)

As for the Altered clipboards..I finished them on Saturday along with the painted frame.
Again I will do a longer post on the clip boards...I just wanted to show you what I've been up too.  :)



As for this darling little owl I picked him up Saturday morning and them drooped him on his head on Sunday...*@!& it all.....broke his ear.  :(


I also worked on  this shabby little table/ magazine rack...I'm trying to get the veneer off the top...any suggestions would be appreciated!  Oh yes, I also finished painting the white wire baskets (behind the lamp).

And then, last but not least, I decoupaged  this darling little picture from The Graphics Fairy,
onto a galvanized bucket, I picked up at the GW a while ago.....



The problem is...It looks to good on my table in the hallway and I want to keep it.  :(


So there you have it...A bunch of lovely new finds headed down to the shop! 
(And the reason my house is still dirty).
Thanks for stopping by...Leave a comment...I would love to hear what you've been up to!
