Late June and Early July Thrift Shop/Garage Sale Purchases
July 05, 2018
I absolutely need to get busy with projects here! I have dragged home more stuff.
I thought this was a cool birdhouse. I paid $10 for it at a local animal charity rummage sale. I think after it's cleaned up and painted, it will be a great decor piece.
See what else I purchased recently.
I purchased this vintage Bacardi wicker bottle at a Servants of Shelter sale. Nothing was priced, it was among my stash for $10.
It also needs a good cleaning. Not sure if I will keep it or re-sell it.
I like these demilune style tables. I paid $4 at the thrift shop.
Paint and stencils will transform this into a tiny beauty.
I purchased this small file drawer at a garage sale for $2.
I may transform it into a flower planter. Not sure yet.
$2 at a garage sale for the empty frame and the artwork in the ornate frame.
I always purchase inexpensive frames, especially if they have some detail.
Two white distressed hanging baskets, $2 for the pair.
I could add faux plants, mail, faux Christmas greenery. Even live plants outside.
Three very cheap cutting boards.
One of my passions!
Estate sale ornate metal candle holders.
I think they were Christmas themed, but imagine them painted! $2.
It's a real McCoy quilted planter for $1.
Even with Ohio pottery values declining, this is a steal!
Also from the estate sale, a $3 stool.
$1.99 at the Bemidji Goodwill.
This wooden Minnesota plaque will make a great state pride project.
I love it when I buy back stuff I used to have.
I'm sure I had these enamelware style country craft plaques back in the day. I think they need to be be painted and stenciled!
Garage sale tray, 75 cents.
I like to upcycle trays.
Garage sale straw hat, $1.
My husband thinks this is ridiculous to have this straw hat hanging here, but I don't.
How about this find?
A metal horse collar, horse shoe, and lantern that has been wired up for a 12 volt battery. I guess they used it at a cabin.
I was thinking flower pot holder for the horse collar, and to display the lantern separately. We will see!
I like finding galvanized stuff at rummage sales.
Even though it's not vintage, it has a tag/label holder in front! I love that!
I purchased this vintage, antique gold, eagle mirror at the thrift shop for $8.
Even though I love junk, I love vintage, ornate, gold mirrors too. Perfect in my vintage/traditional living room.
And this is really craziness! They were selling plants for $8 a box today at the greenhouse.
I purchased two bigger fountain grasses, celosia cockscombs, sedums, angelonias, and a verbena.
I bought some junk to plant IN at the consignment shop too.
I will share soon what happened to these late season clearance plants, and of the stuff will eventually get upcycled!
Sharing is caring
Wow - such great finds! I can't wait to see what you do with everything, especially the bird cage, and file drawer!
