If you are a regular reader, then you KNOW how much I enjoy a 'good' garage sale or Thrift Shop...WELL...this last Saturday was hot...REALLY hot for me! Notice I say "for ME"...you will probably shake your head and mutter 'junk' or 'what was she thinking?' or 'I hope she gets help...SOON!' haha...but that doesn't matter...I love my finds!
Check them out...
This is an unusual magazine rack...high on the back and then low in the front. I had an immediate 'vision' for it....
Drape a small quilt on the back and then put wee pillows in the front section! Sew CUTE!!
A quilt kit filled with lovely fabrics... in my colours.... with a wee splash of turquoise...be adventuresome I say!!
Three garden iron works of art...they have already found nooks and crannies in the garden and look wonderful!
Last Christmas I wanted some bottle brush trees for displays and of course, couldn't find any! I won't have that problem next Christmas!! SCORE!!
Four old crocks with lids and an enamel tray. (My eldest daughter collects enamelware...;o)
And YES, I CAN show some restraint....look at what I left behind!! This framed (antique?) needle punched wall hanging...
It really was lovely...(pics aren't doing it justice...)
Do you think it is needle punch?
It was $75 but the shop was having a Half Off everything in the shore...so for $37.50 it could have been yours!
Consider it the one that 'got away'...
AND the other thing that got away...all I can say is, it's a good thing that I'm not a 'fisher-woman'! Can't you see the look on hubby's face IF I pulled into the driveway with this strapped to the roof of my car? Yup, things could be a lot worse....haha!!
Have a thrilling Thursday and Happy Stitching!~P
What a brave, imaginative shopper you are. Love the magazine rack and what you did with it! And the 3 lawn/plant holders. Lucky finds all.
ReplyDeleteLove your magazine rack and so cute with the quilt and little pillows! What a great find! Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteWow...you did "score" big time! Love everything that you got!! That magazine rack is to "die for", especially what you did with after you got it. The quilt and pillows are perfectly displayed! Nice shopping Paulette!!
ReplyDeleteI think the framed star piece looks more like a continental stitched needlework piece. Similar to a half stitch of cross stitch done on canvas.
ReplyDeleteThe magazine stand is perfect for the mini quilt display. Looks like a fun outing!
Great finds! I LOVE that magazine holder with your quilt and pillows. I would not have thought of that but it is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI surely wish I lived closer, I think we could get into a lot of trouble together! That magazine rack is marvelous. You just have to have an eye and you surely have it. I believe the needlepoint piece might be from India or Pakistan. I have seen a few myself (and left them behind as well. As for the kayak, I work in the marine industry and spend a lot of time on the water, but I'm not that into boats you have to wear so just as well that you left it there. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMan, you are the Queen of the Deal!
ReplyDeleteYou have a great eye, P. The magazine rack looks so cute with the little quilt and pillows, I never would have thought of that. Love the four crocks. I have two and, if I remember correctly, I bought them at Woodwards many, many years ago and they were filled with Dijon mustard. To bad we don't get packaging like that today. Don't think the wall hanging is needle punch, looks more like needlepoint.
ReplyDeleteYour magazine rack looks beautiful with the quilt and pillows! So sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou've got the eye. I love enamelware. It's fun to collect and the magazine rack is so perfect. It makes me want to head out for "the hunt".
ReplyDeleteOh, how I would love to go "thrifting" with you! That magazine holder is a major score--and everything else was icing on the cake. You must feel awfully smug about that shopping trip. I know I would! : )
ReplyDeletePaulette, me gustan tus compras,
ReplyDeleteel mueble revista fantástico,
los botes cerámica me encantan
saludos
Great finds Paulette! Love the magazine rack!
ReplyDeleteIf I lived close to you, I'd be taking that magazine rack home with me! Super find.
ReplyDeletePaulette, you are on lucky duck! Nice score! Love the magazine rack. You dressed it beautifully. One can never have enough bottle brush trees. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I love how you displayed your quilt and pillows on the magazine rack. Just beautiful. Good finds!
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with the magazine rack, it looks really cute. You have good yard sales in your area!
ReplyDeleteIt's one thing to find these treasure, it's entirely another thing to know how to repurpose them so well. Love this magazine rack idea. Well done!
