For The Love of Garage Sales!

I happened upon several garage sales today, and I was pretty happy with what I managed to score. I was looking for bigger pieces of furniture to refinish and then resell, and although I didn't find any, I found some great little gems. Check it out:








I got:

• a shabby little table/bench that I plan to refinish
• a vintage crystal Baccarat decanter with a beautiful stopper that almost rivals the size of an antique doorknob and apparently is worth a LOT more than I paid for it (.50!)
• a cheese dome
• 2 handmade cotton duck ottoman covers with tie detail
• a cute vintage pitcher
• a cute birdcage (I already started painting it black; it needs one more coat in a matte finish)
• 2 vintage white Homer Laughlin restaurantware platters
• a pretty pair of sparkly vintage earrings
• a pretty seashell

All for the whopping total of $12.60! Oh. My. Gosh. And I had the best time, and met the nicest people, which was of course, priceless.
