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!

Thrifty Finds in Shades of Autumn

Thought I'd share with all of you my "Thrifty Finds" from the other day...

Autumn had a Volley Ball Tournament this Saturday so I went out "Garage Selling" early Friday Morning...

I just love the skeleton block print...It's titled "Waiting for the perfect man"  HA HA

I hit about 7 Garage Sales but only bought at 3 of them....

And it seems that everything I gathered up went dang great together!!...

Must have been my subconscious because I didn't plan it that way.

Here they are down at Viking Village...I think the Fox playing cards would be perfect in a collage!

The fabric is a wool lovely wool quilt top....It's so cozy....Maybe someone will finish it!  :)

My favorite piece is the plaid cooler in the back...I wanted to use it for Auto's volley ball game but I bit the bullet and brought it down to the shop instead.  :(

Everything is sitting on a way cool Vintage Trunk, that another vender owns right outside my space (It even has the original key)!.... 

Anyway it was Sooo nice of her to let me put my display on it!!!

How about you any Awesome finds out there??

I would love to hear about them...Leave me a comment and a link, if you wrote about it!

And a usual...Thanks for visiting!
