While I go walking...

I have to stop at all the yard sales... I found some great stuff this weekend.. I can hardly wait to utilize them in my decor... I got the spindles for a $1 each and the skinny ones for $.50 each. The basket was $2 and the white basket was FREE.. Gotta love that!
The mason jars (with the old lids/seals) were $1 each. Been looking for some since I saw Lindsey over at The Pleated Poppy use them in her master bath as soap dispensers.. So clever! Sorry, I do not remember what I paid for the rest.

Now, this coffee table was my shining moment for the weekend. See I go walking every night with some friends and this past Thursday night we happened to walk by a house that was getting everything ready for a yard sale the next day. Now it was like 9:30 at night and getting dark so I had to take a quick look around and saw this beauty and asked how much... $8 was all she was asking.. "I'll take it.. Can you hold it for me until 9 am Friday?" "Sure thing." So the next morning I went and picked it up.. I have some major plans for it.. YES, painting it is on the agenda. Can you guess what color?
Have a great week. I will be linking this post to Rhoda's Thrifty Treasures party over at Southern Hospitality so go on over and have a look around. Later lovelies!! :O)

P.S. I will also be linking to Coastal Charm for her Nifty Thrifty Tuesday.

  2. A coffee table is on my list to look for, you found a great deal. I love the spindles, I bought one at an antique show and thought I got a good deal but you got an amazing deal. Do you have plans for how you'll use them? Thanks for sharing.

  4. Our Saturday morning walks are getting to be more than "free", but we find some really great stuff strolling around town!
