Do you enjoy a good garage sale? Oh man, I sure as heck do! I can garage sale, attic sale, thrift shop sale or scour a junk yard for good finds and be in total heaven!
While on the way to have breakfast with a friend last Saturday morning, I saw that an old local church was having an attic sale. So, I decided just to "drop" by. ;) I ran in, not expecting too much. But, then I saw them... swarms of sweet, little older ladies with broaches and smiles, calmly directing everyone where to pay and such. I started walking a little faster, following the arrow signs inside the building. JACKPOT! A huge gym full of vintage amazingness and it was all dirt cheap. I spent 30 minutes in sheer delight, searching the piles of old fabric, the stacks of vintage dishes and the tables full of lamps and other items all in perfect condition. Here are a few of my finds. I found some reeeeally sweet vintage Christmas goodies, too. But, I'm going to save those for a post of their own. :)  |
| I was so excited when I found these metal embroidery hoops. I'm going to stretch some old lace and fabric in them for my bathroom wall. All of this for $1.50. |
 |
| $3 old children's globe (This came from Value Village) |
 |
| $3 yellow pleather ottoman. (Káel LOVES this!) |
 |
| $1 vintage felt baby slippers, in perfect condition and even in the original box! |
 |
| .25 for these old little measuring spoons. |
 |
| My favorite find, a 1962 cyclo-teacher! It's in perfect condition, all the pieces and just waiting to be used. I think I'm going to frame a few of the inserts. The illustration are too precious. I'm really looking forward to my Forest boy being able to play with this! Eeee! I love it! $4 |
 |
| $1 game from 1970 that teaches money skills. |
 |
| Aaaah! I LOVE my new $2 mid-century lamp! *squeal* |
Hope you all are having a good week so far! I can't wait to show you the goodies that I found for Christmas!
