Anywho, sometimes we get some great finds, sometimes not so great. I'm going to attempt to post my finds on a weekly basis for your viewing pleasure.
I find garage sales are a great place to find random crafting supplies as well as holiday decorations. You also need to go in with an open mind as a lot of things can be repurposed to suit your needs and style.
On to the good stuff, today's finds.
We spent a total of $50.00 today.
I got all of the following craft stuff, etc. for about $18.00. A bird cage thingy (which I plan to paint and use for decor), a nice 3 strand pearl necklace, chipboard kids books (which I will cover and repurpose for mini albums), faux moss, 3 wreaths, Styrofoam balls, Styrofoam eggs, lots of lace, miscellaneous buttons, pearl garland, ric rac, vases, boxes, mini hats, a sewing kit, a football bowl, shotglasses, a plaque board, etc. I can't wait to put some of this to good use! Here's a pic.
Tim got all of this hunting/gun stuff for $32.00 - 3 boxes of skeet, a skeet shooter, a shotgun cleaning kit, a gun rack, and a steel target. Tim guesses that each of the boxes of skeet is regularly $15.00 with the skeet shooter being around $75.00 and the shotgun cleaning kit running at $20.00. I'd say we made out pretty darn well - and put Timmy at bay for at least a month on wishing to to go Bass Pro Shop (lol). Here's a pic of the loot (oh and me - hehe).
Do you go thrifting or garage saling? What have been some of the cool things you have found?
