I'm so excited!

Kathy called and said OMG!!!
Look what she found!!!!

I have been looking for a dress form forever.
She only had to tell me twice to put her in my car.
She gave her to me!
The guilt set in pretty quick.
We are trading so I'm coming up with some things I think she would like to have.






I think she is beautiful, she's not one of those cool forms with words on them.  I'm still looking for one of those.



It was a garage sale/estate sale combo thing.
This was their 3rd and final week.
Just think what we missed!

Pretty back.


Isn't she beautiful????


A little tattered.

Just a little lopsided.


I do have to clean her..She is quite dirty.
I think I will name her Graycie

Pretty feet

Cute top..

Nice and rusty.
I lover her!


And this is what I found at the same garage sale.
I'm happy.


Several old hymnels

Very worn, just how I like them.

I bought 2 beautiful lace valences.


This beautiful old platter.

This cute little lantern without the top.

I'm thrilled with my finds.  It's Saturday morning and we are off again.
If you are going out junking this morning I hope you get good stuff that makes you happy.
Enjoy your weekend and thanks for listening.

The Most Amazing Garage Sale!

This was the most organized garage sale I have ever been too.

I should have taken pictures.


Every single thing was in a plastic bag and labeled with a description and a price.

She said this was blessed at the Vatican!
It's beautiful!

These are lace tissue covers from South Africa!
She even put new boxed of tissues in each one.


I love this old frame.
Of course it will be shabbied up.

I'm not sure what you do with these.
They hold something.
All hand made.

Great linens!

Just turn your head to the left and you can see most of my treasures.
(I couldn't tell it was sideways when I downloaded it, sorry)
You should have seen the old silver and other old collectables.
Each item had a Google discription and what it was selling for online.
She didn't price these things just wanted you to make an offer.
I don't like that!  Because if I offer her $1.00 she would be insulted so I stayed away from those things.
I might go back this morning as see how it's going.
Enjoy your Friday and if you are junking or shopping~good luck!
I'm linking with Thrifty Things Friday at The Thrifty Groove..head on over and see all the treasures!
And also Vintage Inspiraiton Friday over at Common Ground!

The bathrooms are so charming.

My TP holder in my bathroom came from Shelley's Home Sale.
By the way you need to go to the next one.
Amazing!

Out on the porch was just perfect.




So inviting and relaxing.


I really like this chair.

Great storage and pretty to look at.

I'm on the hunt for old clock faces.

Look at the wood on this table!!!   I see perfection.

Great hooks.

You can't see how awesome this chair is.


LOVE LOVE this idea!

Great old chippy metal cabinet.

Layering old mirrors!

Old windows peeking through old lacy curtains.

Pretty old mirror as you enter.



I thinks hooks are the best.
My rule now is to never pass them up.

Again too dark but I still had to show you.
She is awesome!
Shelley, thank you for doing this for us.  I have a feeling it will be growing in numbers.
You have a beautiful home.
So inviting and comfy.  You really want to just sit and visit or just hang out.
Great inspiration!
To all the ladies,  I enjoyed meeting Susie and Sylvia for the first time.  And visiting with Vicki and Carol. I feel I have made some new good friends.  We all seemed to connect.
Kathy, you are so special to me.  I'm so glad you came with me.  Our friendship is growing by leaps and bounds everyday.
