The rug is for our covered deck that I've posted about. I've already put it out there and really like it! Pictures of that on a future post.
This little cabinet was $5. I can see it painted some shade of white. I may put it on the deck instead of the two crates that I have out there. I have a lamp and radio on them right now.
The garage owner said whoever owned this metal thing used it in the bathroom to hold things. I might line it with moss and use it for a planter OR paint and use in one of our bathrooms for washcloths and towels.
This little tray will go well on that newly painted deck, as it's summery, blue, white and turquoise out there!
Ok, this is a door stop I think. At .50 cents, I'm painting it white...

So, all in all, that was fun for me and I got better deals than I may've at a thrift store! Thanks for the inspiration all!
Wow Cindy! You got some great stuff at an amazing price! Like you, I am mostly a GW person...but I may have to check out the garage sales! Love the cabinet...$5...terrific!! You'll have to show us what you do with everything!...Debbie
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy -
ReplyDeleteYou got some great treasures! I'm lovin' the $5 table, it would be great on your deck, maybe as a buffet type piece for BBQ's & outdoor parties :) Thanks for your comment, I think I will try auctions. It may be a whole new avenue of treasure hunting for me :)
Hugs,

Toni from Tattered Cottage mentioned the $5 table being for a buffet piece for parties...then I'm thinkin'...Wheels! it should have wheels. Like it. Thank goodness that I have Jimmy.
ReplyDeletegood finds. yard sales are sooo addicting. makes you never want to pay retail prices. :)
ReplyDeleteI always feel weird at yard sales too. I thought it was just me that felt uncomfortable. I can see that cabinet painted and it's going to be great! Ya gotta love a deal like that!
ReplyDeleteYou really got some amazing deals. And yes, you should put wheels on it!
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOO!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't paint the door stop..Please!!
G-Man, too late! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, Cindy! I've never shopped at the thrift stores or garage sales, but I love seeing all the great finds and seeing the creative and beautiful things people do with them. That buffet is great for $5!
ReplyDeleteShe finds, she SCORES!!! Wow! Your maiden voyage and you STILL found all that great stuff? Good for you.
ReplyDeleteThe little cabinet is VERY similar to the little white one under the tole trays in my sidebar. The bottom doesn't show up in that picture, but it's VERY similar....
Happy Pink Saturday Blessings,

Ah, welcome to the wonderful world of garage sales. They can be more hit and miss than some other kinds of thrifting, but as you see the prices can be VERY reasonable!!!! xo Joan
ReplyDeleteHey Cindy...You should move your Followers gadget closer to the top of your sidebar so more people can find your great blog and join in!! Just a thought! :-)...Debbie
ReplyDeleteI like the clipper ship tray. Really nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! That cabinet is an amazing deal for $5- great find!
