Yard Sale Finds

I had a folder full of pictures I had taken of my adventures in yard sale'ing' this year. I stumbled upon The Nester's "Best Yard Sale Finds Ever" linky and figured what better time to show them off?



I got this really neat poster for $1. Yes...ONE DOLLAR! I cannot tell you how good this looks in my kitchen. The colors are perfect.



Ok this one just about made me pee my pants. I had just been in Pottery Barn about a week earlier and had priced their clear fillable lamps for $150 and up! Walked up to a yard sale and found this one for $5. Shells and all! Score. All I need to do is switch their shells out for my own shells and maybe put some sand in the bottom of it. Oh and get a shade.



This little coffee table spoke to me the minute I saw it. Friends from our church were having an adoption fundraising yard sale for their adoptions from Haiti. It is the neatest little table. See that line in the middle? It is for a leaf to be added just like a dining table. Except this is NOT a dining table. At first I thought maybe it had been and maybe the legs had been cut down but that was not the case. I'm not sure how old it is but the woodwork and mechanics underneath for the leaf say old. Very delicate. Yet the table itself is very sturdy. Since it had been donated there was no leaf so I just used wood glue to glue the dowels together. Now it is permanently one piece. Paid $10.

I plan to paint it the same color as Lindsey's entry table.
