Yard Sale Treasure

Went out yesterday morning with my daughter. I found this wonderful chippy white vintage cabinet, and the mirror too!

It was the perfect size to use at the side entrance.

Occasionally you can find some really cool things. I wish I could find some grain sacks. I love those that Marian has on her blog www.missmustardseed.blogspot.com. I can't find anything like that here.

I have also seen some wonderfully painted furniture in blogland. I would like to try Ann Sloan's chalk paint.  They offer a great range of colors to choose from. There are three distributors in NC.  I can usually find some great pieces to redo at the Salvation Army and yard sales so maybe I can get the paint here before I need it. We have just finished cleaning and rearranging the shed and have installed some new overhead lighting, so it will make a great workshop for painting.

Things at the booth are steady, although a bit slow last month. Still making booth rent, plus some, at least. I now have a couple of Irvin's chandeliers for sale - a six arm chandelier and 2 witches hats.



Eastern NC is in a severe drought. We haven't had rain in ages........ I planted some roses last weekend, so I am keeping them watered pretty well. It's a good thing we have a well and don't have to rely on city water!

Well, you guys take care and have a blessed week.
Come back and see me now, ya hear!

    I never score that good YS.
    Love those type of lights too.
    Maybe one day I'll be able to replace mine with ones like that.
