While on our way to my Mom's for Sunday dinner, we came across a bunch of curbside garage sale loot. Best part, it was free for the taking! I grabbed this cute little concrete statue. It had not one, but two old wasp nests tucked inside. Gross! But still a sweet find. These plates are Limoges and there were six of them just sitting there. Mine! I found this great French/English dictionary after digging through...
I hit a few garage sales and the local church country fair Saturday morning. I hadn't intended on it, but I came home with a ton of great Xmas stuff! Super cheap too - just the way I like it. This candleholder needs to be cleaned up a bit. I may paint it white, but I definitely want to keep the faux berries. This was $1. The little snowman ornaments were also $1 for the set. ...

Some Random Thrifty Finds
Wanted to share some random garage sale/Goodwill/thrift store finds that I picked up this week. I love this! I'm not quite sure what it is.

I'm definitely keeping it as is. Thinking of putting...

I knew I wanted to add something to the front of it. So while, the paint was drying, I printed out this...

Upcycled Garage Sale Candleholder
*Don't forget to enter my giveaway here!* I picked up this little candleholder at a garage sale on Friday. It was black when I bought it and here it is now: First, I spray painted it white. Then I used Mod Podge to glue on my French script paper. I used it on the back panel and then cut a little strip for the rim. I hung it up in my tearoom. I added a new candle...
Not exactly a banner garage sale day in this neck of the woods. Maybe because it's been raining on and off all week?! I did manage to pick up a few goodies this morning: Of course, you know I never, ever pass up vintage sheet music. I got two of them today. The Romeo & Juliet book was a dime! And not sure if you can tell but that little black thing is a candleholder...
