Hey girls....I decided it was time to share a few of my yard sale finds. So this is going to be a mod podge of pictures. This season has been filled with me gathering little treasures here and there. I love finding something old and used that I can bring home and make it feel loved and beautiful. You don't have to spend a fortune to make your home more you.
One of my favorite little vignettes of goodies is this one. I would much rather have it on a bookshelf with a collection of my old books, but don't have one in this house that I can use, but someday. I have had this fan for a while now, but it has been in storage because I didn't really have anything else to put with it. I got the typewriter at a antique shop near my house, and Michael bought the camera. My girlfriend gave me these little glasses in the case.
Old luggage...love it, I have two pieces that I picked up at different yard sales for $1 each. I would like to have one more so that I could eventually use it as a table if the opportunity presents itself. At the moment, this is atop my shrunk surrounded by some of Longaberger baskets.
Lookie what else I found along with Boyd's bears( I don't have pictures of yet) Isn't this doll to die for? Definitely one of my new favorites. I couldn't wait to get her out. At the moment, I have her hanging on a door. Haven't found the perfect home for her yet. But I will.
Now for the last find that I will share today...this is my new secretary, but will tell you that it has changed quite a bit since I took this picture. I will have to share another updated one soon. But this is it several weeks ago. Two weeks ago I picked up a antique chair for $2. that I have sitting here now. Will try to get a updated picture this weekend. Plus I have picked up some cute little desk-y items.
I don't know about you, but I am always looking for new ideas to display and arrange my goodies, so if you have any tips or hints, I would appreciate hearing them. The past two weekends, I have been rearranging and playing with my new goodies. Trying to find the perfect little home. I should probably take some ariel views of the rooms so you can see things all together. That would give you a better idea of what I have to work with. Huh?
