Last weekend I found this console table at this garage sale . It was only $5.00 so I had to buy it. It's almost like they were giving it away! I liked the pineapple detail on the legs and the top had a wonderful wood grain, but we had some chippiness problems and some damage...
Garage Sale Finds Of The Week
On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give this weekend's garage sales experience a solid 5. I think the hotter it gets outside the less quality sales I am going to find. And it was HOT on Friday. At 10:00 am it was 85 and just getting hotter. It topped out in the...
My Vintage Diving Horse Postcard
I thought I'd share a childhood vacation memory with you today. I recently framed a couple postcards that show some places where my family vacationed when I was little. My favorite depicts the diving horse at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. Now I would have visited in the 1960's, but 60's postcards aren't as...
Great Garage Sale Finds
This week I found a rare Thursday garage sale advertised on Craig's List. It was in a itty bitty little town about 30 minutes from my house. Since I had nothing better to do that day (like my piles of laundry, piles of dirty dishes and piles of dog hair on the carpet) I took...

You can see the resemblance really well in this photo. Yes, our thumbs are identical!!! My sister sent me an article about...

Hutch Transformation
I had been looking for an inexpensive piece of furniture to use in my basement family room for a display area and extra storage. So when I saw this piece on Craigslist for only $25.00 I bought it. Hey, it's not pretty now, but I knew I could work with it. It is the typical...
4th of July Vintage Postcard Printables
GREAT vintage patriotic 4th of July images you can use for crafting, print out and frame or just set around your home for patriotic home decor. Please feel free to use copies of my vintage patriotic postcards for your crafting projects. Heck, sometimes I just print these out on cardstock, cut them out and place...
Holiday Weekends = Prime Garage Sales
Around this part of the country it seems like Holiday weekends bring out the big garage sales. I ran across some good ones today. Look at all the loot I got for $15.00: Won't this make the perfect potting bench? I saw a table similar to this in an antique store for $35.00, but I...
