Some Stuff I Found Last Weekend

The last two weekends have been great for thrifting. Most of the stuff I found in Washington has already been cleaned, sorted and taken to my mall spaces. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures but, as I mentioned in the last post, Isabel and I hit a few sales last weekend. One of the best being the sale at our friend, Karen's house. Karen is an antiques dealer who lives in our town and she was in desperate need to clean out a lot of great stuff. I didn't get to her sale until 3 in the afternoon and she still had some really awesome stuff at super low prices. Isabel came right after I left and bought a bunch of stuff too and got even better prices. We both went back later together and bought even more stuff. So, you're probably wondering what the heck I got.

Here are just some of my weekend finds.

Adorable little dresser found at Vintage Gatherings in Battle Ground.

Bar stools, end table, lamps, vintage hangers, great vintage photo in neat frame, bucket, lace, jar, chippy hanger thingy and crusty candle holder all found at Karen's sale.

Close up of the cool lamps I found.

More great finds from Karen's sale. Hard to see, but that bench is really cute. I'm going to recover the seat in that neat fabric on the left.

Cute book shelf found at Vintage Gatherings.

Mirror, bed lamp, divided box, tool box all found at Vintage Gatherings. The chippy cabinet door I got from Linda Marcov (Willow Nest) at the Barn House sale. The little toy phone was found at another Battleground sale Isabel and I found. (More on that later)

This awesome frame was in pieces when I bought it at Karen's sale. Also got the wicker stool and rusty wire fencing there too. I am loving this frame though. Not sure if I will keep it, sell as is, put a mirror in it or make it into some kind of memory or chalkboard. Too many wonderful choices.

Other things I got that I didn't take a picture of before storing them in my garage are a white metal bakers rack, child's sized shopping cart, slipper chair in need of a slipcover, three ottomans needing to be recovered, another cute dresser with an ugly paint job, white gate leg table in pieces and some other miscellaneous goodies I can't remember. To think Isabel and I were worried that we wouldn't have enough stuff for the Monticello Fall Premier Show and the Coburg Antique Fair coming up. I think it's safe to say we do, but now we need to get busy and work our magic on a few things. Personally, I need to get busy painting and sewing as I'm am kind of running out of time.

Now, for that sale Isabel and I found on Saturday. It was pretty close to the other sales we went to and was advertised as a "Antiques" sale. Isabel found and bought lots of cool stuff. I only bought the toy telephone and a couple pairs of jeans for my son. But, the best part of this sale to me was the property where it was being held. The sweet owner, Beth, told us we could snap some pictures so that is just what we did.

Beth's property was just a little slice of heaven. I would be a very happy girl if I lived in such a place.

I'm going to leave you here with the one and only picture I took at the Barn House/Willow Nest sale.

This sweet kitty was so cute hanging out in one of the display boxes. You can see it has a tag on it for sale. I don't think the kitty was included with the box, but who knows?
