I want to thank everyone for sharing their stories and journey's with me on Friday; I felt so inspired when I read your comments! We all have so much potential that lies in our hearts, don't we?
This weekend, I was able to get out and hit a few garage sales and estate sales.
I had found the vintage bottle carrier when I went to the flea market last weekend with Tracey,
but the blue vintage canning jars I found this weekend, for 50 cents a piece on half price day and they fit perfectly!
I am supposed to be buying stuff for the Nada Sale, but I might have to keep this baby.
I found an old ironing board and enamelware pitcher. The lady wanted to sell me the matching urinal, but I had to "just say no" on that one.
A vintage milk bottle carrier with some on the tiny milk bottles. Again, I might not be able to part with it.
Plus the bottles look so cute lined up on my window sill.
The old oil can was a flea market find. I think it would be so pretty with some lavender or roses in it, or even dogwood or crab apple branches for fall.
And I loved these silver platters,
Especially this one.
Did you have any good finds this weekend?

I found my way home from work, and that's about it on this end.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't part with any of your awesome treasures, either!
I wouldn't be able to part with any of those items either;D
ReplyDeleteOoooh Jen you had me at "estate sale finds!"
ReplyDeleteThe carriers are great... they would be hard to part with.
There is something timeless about the trays too. Always a great way to bring the atmosphere up a notch to "elegeant."
Fun finds!

I love the carriers and the roses.
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds! I love the canning jars and the bottles.
ReplyDelete~*~* I LOVE everything!!! Awesome finds~*~*Lucky girl!!~*~*
ReplyDeleteI made a good haul on Friday at a thrift I hit every few months. I posted about it yesterday. I'm still cleaning out the 22 mini apothecary jars I snagged for $3. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could sell any of your finds....delicious!
LOVE the bottles and the carriers. I would say do not part with those. :)
ReplyDeletethat is the nature of this kind of thing isn't it? because I just found a slew of old strawberry little boxes and can't wait to fill them!
ReplyDeleteMatching urinal...awesome. I don't know how you passed that one up!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun finds! I especially like the vintage bottle carrier full of blue jars. I wasn't able to hit a yard sale this weekend, and I feel like I'm running out of time and good weather!

ReplyDeleteOMG, girl...I had the find of the weekend today. I am going to try to get a pic of it tomorrow to post. Probably no big deal to most people, but I am smitten with a medical cabinet I found in the trash today. Chippy old gray paint, too. Love. Pure love.

Jennifer que divertido fin de semana, me encantó!, hablas español mejor que yo el ingles!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Your photos are great. I loaded up the car at an auction on Friday night. Great way to start the weekend. I have found so many great things at the auctions, estate sales and thrift stores lately that my storage area is full waiting for a space in the shop. The find of the weekend was an eight foot long french gray and white cupboard sideboard. Can't wait for the delivery.
ReplyDeleteOh how I miss auctions and estate sales. We just don't have them in metro Atlanta. Probably a good thing, as I would be bankrupt. LOL. YOu found some wonderful treasure. SEa Witch
ReplyDeleteJen ~ what wonderful finds. I love the old oil can! I found a few treasures my self at Grayslake this past weekend! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,

ReplyDeleteLove the two carriers you found shown in this post and agree with you that you jut might need to keep these. ;) They're awesome.
