A Fun Sale on Friday!!

A couple of days ago, I found out about what sounded like a promising backyard sale.
My daughter Amanda works for one of our local newspapers, and she always lets me know if a sale sounds like something her mom would want to see.
The sale read, Shabby, Architectural, French, etc. (Had my name all over it)
I went to Yahoo driving directions and mapped it out.
20 minutes from my house, not too bad.
I got up early, and headed out to the sale. When I arrived, it turned out the sale was being held by some of the ladies, I normally buy from at the Ventura flea market. They are all really nice and have some great stuff.
I ended up buying a lot of smaller items, but there were great pieces of furniture and garden pieces too.

I thought you might like to see what I bought.


I got the cute little bird house for $5, and the Halloween decoration for $5 as well. The cute little red chair was $15, and the practice typing book was $1. I thought I could use the old pages as background for my artwork. The typing book is from 1949.
The rusty shovel was $1.

The rustic trellis was also only $5. I have been wanting one, but they are usually a lot more expensive. The 2 pillow covers were $5 each, and are practically brand new from Pottery Barn.


The angel is carved wood and was, guess again $5. The antique candy jar was $7.

I had a great time looking at everything, and buying my treasures. (My husband calls them new toys) I hope you all had a fun Friday too.

Have a great weekend!
