Saturday Recap - Garage Sales

What an awesome yard sale day! First of all, I got to hang out with some really fun people, which was nice because usually I garage-sale alone. Started off at a sale in Chester that had a bunch of antiques and vintage pieces. I can't believe my luck:

I just wrote this morning that I was looking for a phone for my phone table!! And it's in such good condition!! Now I really gotta start my table. 

Found a few other awesome things too. I got this little round tray which appears to be some kind of souvenir of visiting NJ.. It needs to be cleaned up. I'm not really sure where I will put it but I really liked it:

I picked up this lamp shaped like a spinning wheel for my mom since she is a spinner. It needs to be rewired and it needs a shade. I thought I could fix it all up and save it for a Christmas gift. 

Last thing I got at this sale, I really am not sure what I will do with. But as bunch of former Catholic college girls shopping together, I just couldn't leave this behind!

Yes, that is a Flying Nun lunchbox with matching thermos! It's really dirty, but I'll clean it up. 

After that sale we went straight to a nearby barn sale, which was not a disappointment. The sale was huge - just kind of overcrowded (with people and merchandise.) I found this little Christmas candleholder from PartyLite which matches others that I have (also from garage sales):

I don't think I mentioned a project I've been collecting materials for.. I want to paint a bunch of ornate wooden frames to hang in a grouping on the wall. I had three already, and then found these in the barn sale:

Nice right? They will be tucked away in the closet with the rest until I'm ready for that project. 

All in all, spent $27 on garage sale items today. Well worth it.
