I'm joining Rhoda for her Today's Thrifty Treasures!
On Friday I drove up to OC for a "Sisters" weekend with Lyssie. We got up early Saturday morning, had our breakfast of champions (Honey Bunches of Oats), garage sale list & map in hand headed on the road. You never know what kind of adventure awaits with the two of us. We hit two huge neighborhood sales and a few scattered ones in between. All-in-all we came home with some great treasures and a fun memory.
Love these two pitchers and black urn.
My fave is this beauty!
An old fruit basket and a sweet little Longaberger. The pretty yellow & orange floral liner will be great for Fall.
Three old Bakerex Crownware muffin tins. And some more printer's blocks for my collection!
A couple of Limited Two tanks and a pair of Paul Frank pj bottoms for Liza.
A never been used Roxy train case for Liza. She already has the suitcase, so this is a nice addition.
Gorgeous satin decorative pillow. Wife had it marked for $2. I asked her hubby if he'd take $1. Sold. Always ask the hubby because they just want to get rid of everything as quickly as possible.
Sweet vintage chalkboard. No need to paint, already fits nicely in with our school room color scheme! There's a little dowel on the top for me to add some butcher paper for drawing.
It's convertible! Turns into a cute little desk.
You have to visit Lyssie to see her treasure of the day make-over!
