With my two boys playing baseball on Saturdays, I've had to switch my junkin' day to Friday. Yesterday, there were a ton of estate sales here. I managed to find a few diamonds in the rough.

I popped into Unique Thrift Stores again. I didn't have the boys with me so I was able to slowly go up and down each aisle and examine everything. I spent about $10 and got these goodies that I will hopefully be transforming this weekend - weather permitting: I love the little wood stand. They had two but the other one was a bit wobbly.
