a cup and a saucer::

  These pretties were for sale yesterday at a Friend's garage sale. I couldn't help admire it's delicate country charm. So, when the crowd died down the camera came out... I couldn't help myself. Just think of all the times we use our china. Hardly, enough.

  Thanks for all your comments on Gatherings Magazine. It's sure to be a fun experience.

  My thoughts are going out to all those on the East coast right now, who will be in Sandy's path. It's cloudy here.. we are getting ready. Stay safe my friends ;)

Random Garage Sale/ Thrift Goodies::

Children's toys seem to be what I've been encountering lately. The Woman who sold me the iron said it worked. Really?

I haven't tried it yet but, for some odd reason I'm a little sceptical. My Grandmother would of been so excited about this purchase. She loved to iron. Even my Grandfather's underwear!

Child's ironing board from another sale. They weren't a set.

... And this 1950's puppet I found thrifting. It was love at first sight. Isn't she a sweet one? I couldn't resist this purchase.

Could you have?

Liz ;)

Garage Sale Love::

I hope you are having fun where you are! Lots of bargains to be had in garage sale land. Posted are some finds from this weekend. The green scoop is my favorite for $5.00 which is sitting in my kitchen waiting for a place to be adorned. Scored on the suitcase for $1.00. Yes! The Army first aid kit was my Hubbs purchase for $4.00.
 All in all, it was a eventful weekend. With perfect weather for just plain old fun. Did you find any treasures this weekend? Please share....

Saturday's Yard Sale Finds

               I can't help myself when it comes to garage sales. Husband says, "Why does it take you so long to do errands?" You ask? He should know me by now. There should be a bumper sticker on my car that says," I brake for Garage Sales." Saturday was garage sale paradise, yup!

               Here are my finds: 1 brand new sweater, big wire basket( I visioned it with lots of mini pumpkins and gords) 1 vintage cameo necklace with pin attached. I spent total of $ 8.00, not bad. Hope you have a great Sunday. I'm off to a wedding today. My best friend's daughter is getting married today and I can't wait to share such a special day with her. Now, to get my act together and do some much needed stuff around here.
                                                                                                                       Bye, xxx Liz
