Recent finds...

Hi Everyone!  I thought I'd share some recent finds with you.  My dear, sweet friend Lynett picked up some items for me while she was out thrifting!  Each time she came across something she thought I'd like or could use she'd call or email me about them.  And I finally had a chance to meet up with her to get most of the items she'd picked up for me.  She also has two headboards for me, but they wouldn't fit in her car...I'll get those at the fair next month. 

This is what she picked up for....
 I just love this stool!  When Lynett sent me the picture, I said "Uh, Yes Please!"
 It's in perfect condition....and I can't wait to add a bit of color to it!
 And she picked up these 10 mason jars...3 half gallon and 7 quart jars for $8.00.
Then she called to ask if I still wanted yardsticks.  She was at a garage sale where there were a bunch of yardsticks....so she got them all for me.....all 21 of them!  Now I have about 40 of them...I think it's time to make something with them!  Thanks so much Lynett!  I have great friends and family that keep a look out for things I might be able to use.  But before I can do anything with those yardsticks, I need to finish the two custom orders I'm currently working on and then I HAVE to get BUSY finishing up items for the fair next month.  It's a month away!  Thanks for stopping by.

Recent finds...

Hi Everyone!  Today I thought I'd share some recent finds with you....My friend Lynett rescued this headboard and foot board from the roadside for me....Thanks so much Lynett!
 A couple of weekends ago, I had my first Saturday off that didn't involve a holiday or a craft fair...
 ...so I did a little shopping at a couple of junk places and came home with this antique dresser...
....I just love these legs with the casters!....
 ...I also found 15 pint jars...
 ...for a $1.00 each...
  ...and at another place, I found these.  The two half gallon jars are clear with the slightest hint of pink to them.  It was a nice little outing and the perfect way to commemorate not having to work on Saturdays anymore.  What have you found recently?  Thanks for stopping by.

Recent finds....

Hi Everyone!  I hope your week is going well.  I've had this post done for a week but accidentally left it as a draft instead of publishing it.  Duh Holly...you have to click on the publish button.  I have several others that are drafts too that I will finish and get published soon.

  I wanted to show you what I picked up over Memorial weekend with my parents.  We were on our way back from the city and went through a tiny town that was having a yard sale.  So I picked up these for $1 each.  They are old, clear mason jars.
This one is my favorite.  I love the star on it.  And even though it's clear, it does have the slightest hint of blue to it.
I also picked up this little cutie...for $1.
 I picked this up too for a $1.
We almost didn't stop but I'm sure glad that we did.  And if you haven't linked up to the All Star Block Party you can still link up here.  Thanks for stopping by!

Free jars...

Hi Everyone!  I hope you are having a good day.  It rained most of the evening last night and most of the afternoon today.  But we definitely needed the moisture!  My mother dropped off some goodies that one of her dear friends gave to me...for free!  What a very sweet lady Maryann is!  Thanks so much!
Don't they look good all lined up?  I still need to clean them up but I couldn't wait to show them to you!
There are 9 quart jars and 8 half gallon jars.  And one little pint.
Isn't it darling!
This one is a pink Fruit Jar.  Isn't it sweet!
And this one is really light blue!

I can't wait to get them all cleaned up!  I'm just the luckiest person around that people are so nice to give me things for free.  How blessed am I.  Thanks again Maryann.  And thanks for stopping by.
