Thanks Rhoda for giving us a place to show our wares : ))

I stopped in only one garage sale this week and I couldn't believe my eyes. There was a windsor chair just like the ones I've been searching for, sitting in the midst I don't know what else. I only had eyes for the chair!! I rain over and looked at the price. $20.00!!! I felt like I couldn't leave it's side (even though there were no other people there! ) I shouted, "I'll take this chair", without even my usual bartering with the price. I whipped out the $20 and ran to my car with the chair. It just fit in the back seat of my little Honda . . . it was meant to be mine. It's even painted black.

I just sit on my big leather chair across from it and smile. Now if I could only find 3-5 more and a dining room table!!

Then it was off to Goodwill.

This was my biggest bargain at Goodwill!! I got this little chair with the rush seat in perfect condition for $5.00!!!! Yes, $5.00. I'm going to paint it black.

I love the color of the sage green plates I got for $2.00 each and the iridescent tea light holders in the shape of snowflakes are so pretty. $1.50 each. All from, of course, Goodwill. Oh, and the 4 checkered place mats underneath were $.50 ea.

I found this cute little pumpkin candle holder with a hanger to use this fall. ($1.50)

The little pitcher to go with my small Currier & Ives set . . . now I'm on the look for the sugar bowl! It was half price so I got the little pitcher for $.50.

This was a day for shelves I guess. They were $2-$4 each at GW. I will have to do something to cover up the outdated hearts on the long one though. And they will all get a paint job. I plan to put them all on a wall in my kitchen to display my clear containers I've been gathering for flour, sugar, pasta, rice and the like.

My last stop was at Marshalls where I found this little cupboard that was exactly the right size for a space in my kitchen where I needed some extra storage. The tag is still on it here because I was still deciding whether to keep it or not but it's growing on me. Of course I'll probably paint it! It was $49.00. I am getting estimates now on getting my kitchen redone (that's scary!!) but I think I could use it other places too.

Well, have a great Monday everyone. The country fair starts tomorrow so I think that's where I'm going.
