Once Again Yard Sale Fun

I hit Goodwill a few days ago and this is what I found. Our main bathroom is nautical themed so I grabbed this sail boat for $2.50 and the basket for $1.50. The basket sits on the toilet and holds extra toilet paper and air freshener. I believe the candlesticks are nickel. They are heavy and will go nicely with the two brushed nickel ones I already have. They were $2 each. The flower ball was 25 cents. I plan to set it atop a small white cast iron urn in the girls' room. The bird was 50 cents. I'm thinking I can use it at Christmas time too. Is it a partridge or a dove maybe

I hit two yards sales this morning.
Clock $1, Topiary $1 (it is 17 inches tall and I love the basket it's in). Vintage fan $4 (it purs like a kitten).
Moss rabbit $1 (will make a nice addition to my Easter decor), Twiggy nest thingy 50 cents.



Vintage (1956) toy 50 cents. I love this. When it's pulled all the wings spin and it quacks.



Home Interior flowers and letters $2 for all. For the girls' room.




Dance leotard and skirt (Both New with Tags) $2. Because I have three girls in dance.




George Washington book about his life 10 cents. Saturday Evening post 1963 of Kennedy's assassination 10 cents (because my hubby's a history teacher). The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe 1.50. The Grasshopper Trap by Patrick McManus 25 cents (hubby loves these redneck stories).



Check out my other finds and redo's on this past week's post!!!!!!!!!

  8. I want to go garage-sale-ing where you live! Wow!
    My old fan cost me $35.00, you really hit the jackpot...maybe you should play the lottery too? :+D
    Oh yeah, I think the bird might be a partridge, a quail has a feather-thing on top of it's head, right? Hahahaha!
