August Thrifting & Garage Sale Finds
August 10, 2018
I really have no business dragging more stuff home this week.
I am still very busy cleaning out my mom's apartment. I have until the end of August, but it is making me anxious. I have at least 4 pieces of mom's furniture that I plan to makeover. (More on that later)
When I saw a moving sale in the local newspaper for my collecting/church friends, I had to attend.
I remember these cement pumpkins on sale on a local FB group two years ago. They were $25. This one is a little faded out but only $1. With fall right around the corner, I bought it! I couldn't make one for $1.
Galvanized laundry tubs $1 each.
The tubs had been used as flower planters so they have holes in the bottom, but they are still a good deal!
A vintage navy blue Samsonite suitcase.
$1 at a garage sale.
Two white wooden shutters or wooden swing doors. Never used, still in the plastic.
Great for projects!
A primitive country wooden house. The windows have hardware cloth, and the back has a small nightlight bulb. $5.
This will get a makeover!
Iron kitchen utensils with its iron hanger. $1.
I may paint these.
A $3 old crate with paint spatter.
I have already started up-cycling this crate. Post coming soon!
A crafted spindle dragonfly. $4.
Fun for the garden!
A homemade sign from a spindle. $1.
I can repaint and change the sign!
I have had some of these iron people holding flowerpots in my gardens before.
But never a chef! $5. Fun!
Copper kettle jack o'lantern! $4.
Perfect timing for fall/Halloween decor. Very cute with a candle or lights inside!
Small Bloom sign 25 cents. I can use it somewhere outside.
Life is Snow Good metal sign. Will repaint and re-stencil. $1.
Hanging black wall shelf. Probably a makeover! 50 cents.
Antique Dough Trough $15.
It's just a cool crate/box. I will use it for display somewhere!
I think I'll paint it!
Iron tree planter. $3.
Garden junk decor!
Do I go garage sale-ing again tomorrow?

Great finds, Carlene! Love that faded cement pumpkin...perfect!
ReplyDeleteVery cool stuff - we seldom have items like that around here especially at those prices. I made two pumpkins last year and you are right, you sure can't make them for $1!
ReplyDeleteYou and I could never shop together. 8^)
ReplyDeleteI love everything you found. thanks
WOW- good stuff! That dragonfly is cute - what are it's wings made of?
