So we all know that I love to yard sale, go to flea markets, antique malls and such. I wanted to share some too cute things I've snagged over the past few weeks. You won't believe the prices!!!
Mushroom Cookie Jar $1
Hiding the package of C.hips Ahoy chewy chocolate chip cookies that my son growls for, that's right I said growls for, when he sees.
Sunbeam Chrome Mixer $10
Oh, how I have been wanting a mixer, but not wanting to shell out $200 for a new one. I went to an estate sale this past Friday and this beauty was sitting there with 2 glass bowls. The picture really does not give it justice, it looks brand new.
Mushroom Crewel Embroidery Picture $2
My husband Dave isn't quite as smitten with vintage decor as I , so to compromise I painted the frame a coordinating color, hopefully to make it appear more "modern". It worked, Dave approves.
Owl Necklace $.50
I took a back road and came across this small church having a yard sale. They were starting to close up and I saw this sitting on the table...yes please, thank you. And last but certainly not least my beloved Olivetti Lettera 32.
There is a thrift store close to my house that has an amazing customer rewards program. Every $5 you spend you get one of your ten spaces marked on your card. So when your card is full (you've spent $50) you get 65% off of your next purchase. I had a full card, and they had this marked for $2.50, drum roll please......I got this vintage typewriter for $.88.
So like I said in the earlier post, I feel I've been pretty lucky with these finds. Actually...I live in an area where most do not appreciate vintage decor or clothing, so that helps a lot.
Anyone else out there still yard sale? What was your favorite find?
