Yesterday I had a bit of luck yard sale-ing. But I must say, it was hot and miserable. Southern girls are not supposed to sweat. Glistening is allowed, but not sweating. I'm sure I was over the legal limit.
I have a feeling that yard sales won't be very plentiful again until the summer heat is over. I know that I'll be very selective about going to sales for the next few months and I'll be sure to be out very early and home again pretty quick.
I found every one of these things at the first yard sale. All of it, plus a tray my mom got (which was fabulous) was $15.
I loved the toile fabric on the sewing stool. This will make a great place to hide a project from our nosy cats.
I had thought the bird houses would end up on my porch. After trying them there and a number of other spots, I ended up liking them best on this window sill. In fact, I
really like them here. Sometimes I place things and think they look okay or pretty good. Those are the times where the item is likely to be rearranged. I have a feeling these bird houses will stay here for a while.
I loved the wooden tri-fold screen at first sight - so much so that I bought it without having a clue how I'd use it. I wandered the house for ages trying to figure out where to use it. It would be good for hiding something, but I have nothing to hide (ha ha). Then I set it down on a table and it occurred to me that I really liked how it looked flat. I think I'm going to use it as a wall hanging. I'm not sure where.
The sewing stool and metal basket ended up in the guest room. It looks pretty nice in there, but the table needs a lamp. The table was one that I picked up a couple of weeks ago at a yard sale. It is very similar to a slightly smaller
one I recently refinished. I painted this one the same color, but without the red undercoats.
By the way, this is the guest in our guest room. Mr. Spooky had settled down for a nice long nap.
Cindy Lou had settled down for a nap in another room. She was sound asleep just like this. Does she really think no one can see her?
