I haven't been buying anything at Goodwill or at any garage sales for a few weeks. The prices have been way too high. Higher than some retail stuff at Wal-mart or even Target. But I did good this week.
I actually saw these wooden Suess-like houses a week or so ago when I dropped some stuff off. They were $1.99 each, and since I wasn't buying anything else, I left them. As soon as I got home, I regretted not buying them.
Can you believe they were still there? They were only 99 cents each this time. I can't wait to paint them up!
I love this scrolly mirror. It was only $2.99. I plan on painting it a whimsical color, like turquoise or lime green, as soon as I find a good spot for it. I may even take the mirror out and put some original art in it.
We all know cloche's can be costly. This one was $1.29. I plan on painting the wood white and creating a little fairy scene in it. I'll be sure to show it to you when it's done.
I love this finnial too. It is large and very heavy. It is going in my living room as is. (Very very high on a shelf, away from children and babies:)
Last but not least, did I mention I had all 4 of my littles with me? They behaved so well, they all got to pick out something. The VHS movies were 39 cents each, and the DVD's were 99 cents. The books were all 50 cents a piece.
We are not getting any internet connection at our condo on the beach, so I am posting this at the local library. I've gotten so much good crafting and art done, I want to show you all of it!! But my posting will be a little sporadic for a couple weeks. Come back soon though, I've got a great tutorial for you:)

I swear I think seeing the good deals that others get at yard sales and resale shops is almost as gratifying as finding it myself! Thanks for sharing all of your lovelies!

I was so disappointed that you hadn't already painted those houses when I saw them! But then I realized that you had just gotten them, so you couldn't possibly have! I can't wait to see what you do with them. That clock was a great find at 2.99!
