Garage Sale {Goodies}

It's that time of year again.....Garage Sale season! I decided to scout out a few sales here in our neighborhood in an effort to change/vamp things up at the house a bit. I found a few goodies the past 2 weekends and thought they were blog-worthy enough to share them with you! :0)

Guess how much I paid for this beauty? It's a painting that has been printed on canvas

complete with a nice solid wood frame & matte in great condition. The varnish on top

of the print that seals it is all crackly looking when you look up close. I love that.

I love how peaceful and serene this picture is...

The only thing I changed was to clean it up a bit and paint the (previously bright red)

matte this off-white color. I think it looks much better now.

I already had the paint on hand.

$2, Baby!

I snagged this cute owl print and wood frame

at a church rummage sale. I may

end up painting the frame black...but we'll see.

25 cents!

This original oil painting came with a frame

that was beat up...so I discarded that. I may end up

framing it again...but I'm not opposed to

frame-less oil paintings. I love the colors

and calming landscape.

$2!

These little sherbet dishes were too cute to pass up...

and I might add...too cheap! I'm such a frilly girl,

so I know I'll use them over and over again in the

years to come. Can't beat clear glass, either.

Goes with EVERYTHING. Added bonus:

they were in pristine condition with no scratches or chips. Yay!

60 cents total for a lot of 6!

Another large beautiful print with a nice wood frame & matte.

I'm debating whether to paint the matte or not to make it stand

out more.....what would you do???

Da da da dummm....$2!

Favorite find of all: a vintage rocking chair! I had been

on the look-out for a vintage rocking chair after seeing

THIS EXACT ONE in my "Fit Pregnancy" mag. The one

in the magazine had been painted a vintage green color...all

except the cane, which is pretty cute to vamp up an older rocker.

It's in pristine condition with no holes or instability

in the cane seat and back. I love it! I can't wait to finish

the nursery so I can put it to good use in there when

the baby comes!

Question: should I paint it?

$40. ;)

And lastly, who could pass up these sweet little

embroidered cloth napkins? I'll use them for

luncheons, tea, or what-have-you.

25 cents total for a set of 12! Wow!

Is it just me, or does anybody else get completely giddy when they find a steal of a deal? I was pretty happy with what I found. May you feel encouraged to find a few goodies yourself!

XOXO,
