~A BIT OF A TREASURE HUNT~

Usually,  I say USUALLY, we are up and out enjoying our Saturday's looking for treasures.

This Saturday was no different. 

We picked up Precious Daughter and off we went.

The very first stop was at an Estate Sale...(I need to start taking my camera on these jaunts..because this home was worth...forgetting quickly!)  However..I won't soon forget it.

Horrible! 

But...I found this lovely little basket covered with dirt out in the garage.  I brought it home, washed it and sprayed with clear lacquer.  It turned out beautiful. 

Price?  $2.00 

Estate Sales are always much higher than garage sales...

AND NO bargaining ..except...and remember this...:) on the following day.

This lovely, I think burl, for $1.00.  Wouldn't it make a lovely place for a Fairy to live??

:)
Did you notice that a stone is wedged in the wood.  The wood apparently grew right around stone..

The next garage sale...I found this hand painted signed tray for $4.00. 
More than I wanted to pay..but it started off at $10.00.
I was accused of being a hard core bargainer! 
I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT!!!   :)

The day ended with just those few things...but..

Sunday morning...

I  had seen an Estate Sale but there was  not enough time to stop...so I begged..(didn't have to beg very hard) Patient Husband to go back.   He quickly gulped down his coffee...grabbed his shoes and in two minutes flat we were on our way.

The first thing I found were two floral arrangements...this one had been $25..but was not 1$12.50, but they gave it to me for $10!!

I thought this was a sweet little bouquet (LOVE roses!) and can be tucked in anywhere..

$2.00.

Gold brocade round table cloth..perfect for my little round drum table...makes a nice change..

A Flow Blue tea pot without it's lid..LOVE it..

and a marvelous cheese slicer..much better than the one I own.

$1.00 for the tea pot and 25 cents for the chesse slicer...

NOW...here comes the good one.  We needed a nice large second refrigerator for the garage.

And there it sat..in all it's glory..with a price tag of $175!  Today?  $87.50, but they gave it to us for $80 even.  It had all the papers with it.  It is an Amana bought in 1984 at a local appliance store near us.

And..the manual was with it...everything we needed. 

Home we went for my truck..

SOOO clean.  Sparkling.  Everything in the home was lovely and clean.

I will take care of it..and I am giving all the things a loving  home. 

So..happy Treausre Hunting to you this Saturday?  Convienced yet?  But of course you are.

Love and hugs,
