Needing some JUNK time

It seems like I have been away for such a long time!! I haven't been able to share anything with all of you in Blogland because one of my sons took.....stole.....uh, borrowed my camera and forgot to bring it back from his friend's house. I have been keeping up with everyone, visiting your blogs, seeing all the wonderful things you have been up to, new projects, thrifty finds, fall decorating, wonderful recipes. Now I have my camera back and I am back on track. I was actually able to go to a couple of yard sales this weekend. I haven't been able to get out to the yard sales for a couple of weeks and I was needing some JUNK time. Seems like they are starting to slow down around here. I was able to pick up a couple of things, for some future projects that I will be selling.







First purchase was the cute cupboard with the wire insert on the door. The blackboard will go in my kitchen, the little fence piece is for a project.








I picked up the vintage basket....LOVE it!! along with the flower bucket at the same sale. The shabby white frame is a favorite also and will be used in a project that I will sell at the shop.






This little lady is not much to look at right now, but the price was so good that I couldn't resist taking her home.

She still has her original springs & webbing in the seat (still in good condition) and I love the nail heads. I can picture her painted a shabby white with a pretty floral fabric with just a little skirting to accentuate her legs. What do you think???

And I want to share with all of you that I will be having a giveaway soon...... My very FIRST Giveaway. I'm putting everything together and will post the giveaway in a couple of days.....

Until Later,

Goodwill.com ???

I know from reading some of your blogs that Goodwill has a blog of its own and showcases other bloggers that have found thrifty treasures at their stores and how they are being used, revamped, etc. But this morning while watching Today I caught a snippet of what they were talking about. Apparently Goodwill has a website similar to Ebay where they are auctioning items from their store in Santa Ana, Ca.



Have any of you seen this? I didn't have a lot of time to check it out. I plan on looking through it more this evening. It might be kind of nice for those who don't have a Goodwill in their neighborhood to be able to shop from home. (As long as the prices are good and the shipping doesn't kill you) But I thought I would share the link with all of you.



Here it is: Goodwill Shopping



Have a great day :)

Treasures at 1/2 Off

It's that time again to show off your thrifty treasures!! Rhoda at Southern Hospitality is hosting her weekly "Today's Thrifty Treasures". Stop by if you have a thrifty treasure to share or if you just want to see the treasures everyone else picked up.

Bridget from Bella Rose is closing her doors and she was having a half off sale. She had several beautiful items and I wish I could have taken them all. But, finances wouldn't allow it so......I came home with this little beauty for $200!! I'm LOVING it!! Please don't look at what is on the shelves as I was just trying to get some ideas of what I want to put on them :)

I also picked up the picture to the left and the red and white covered canister on the second shelf at Bella Rose's. Both at 1/2 off. The letters I bought at Kohl's 1/2 off of their regular price.

I didn't find anything at the couple of yard sales I went to. Nothing but junk and not the good kind of junk that we all love. I'm hoping next weekend is better :)

Hope you all are having a great weekend.

Until later,
