Yard Sale Saturday Finds

I think for the spring/summer seasons we will start highlighting the great things found at local yard sales. Some items will be for decorating/staging and some just for me.

Today I went to a huge sale in Lawrenceville - over 15 homes on two streets. Lots of good items, but these two stood out for me.
.
This is a beautiful shallow bowl that is decorative only. It can be hung up or set on a table. It's from Spain and unmarked as it was done by a local artisan. The colors are quite vibrant and I can see it really perking up a dark space.


This is a small framed print. So why do I like it? It can be used so many ways to coordinate a kitchen and is snall enough to hang under cabinets if needed. Great deal for just $1.00.




So did you go yard sailing today? Any good finds? Let me know.

A REMINDER - please check below and enter my great $25 CVS giveaway plus. It's fast and easy.

Great finds!
I found an end table many years ago, at a yard sale for $3. It has been sitting in my garage waiting for inspiration! I finally used it for a group art project that I did with 2nd graders. Here is what we did to it.
See table herethe before picture is a few posts back.
I will probably do a before/after post later today.

I enjoy your blog!
Have a great day!

Super shopping! I want your secrets to finding bargains. I only find "bargain" DVDs I pay $5 for and then later find them at T.J. Maxx for $3. Sigh.
