This weeks Garaging Finds

Memorial weekend usually kicks off the slow garage sale season here in Arizona, however, we really hit the jackpot. I think I say this every weekend, but I really found some great trash. Take a look at my new piece of furniture. This will need to be painted black and distressed, but It's a keeper. It will provide great storage and display area and it was just $50. This sweet antique desk was $5.00 and the monopoly game (complete with all 8 pieces) was $1.00.
The score of the weekend was my new pottery barn pillows. These are also keepers! I paid $20.00 for the set of 5. Two are silk and all have down pillow inserts- I can't imagine what these sold for new!
This set of 3 framed prints were $2.50 each, the black spindle was $1.00, the pumpkin and berry garland was 1.00, The framed stichery quote was $2.00, the candlestick $2.00 and the easel was $1.00.
Even though Mr. Right is definitely my knight in shinning armour- I think of this as a "mini me" I'm not exactly sure where this will go, or what I will do with him, but for $5 I just couldn't leave him behind. If I were still teaching drama it would be the greatest prop! The "Rodeo Tonight" sign will be repurposed. It was also $5.
I picked up some get crafting/scrapbook supplies. I don't scrapbook, but my kids love the stickers. For just a couple bucks I got hundreds for them. I also got an exacto knife set for $2, a stamper that lets you spell out words for $2, new measuring cups and spoons for 1.00, and a secret message pen with black light for the kids.
It was a great weekend- and now we will enjoy another day off by the BBQ and Pool. Have a fantastic Memorial Day, take the time to remember those who have fought for our freedoms. Love, Kelly.

  6. Love the "cubby shelf." I have a thing for cube storage. In fact, all your finds are wonderful, I want to go shopping where you do! The knight cracks me up...he'd go perfectly with my husband's sword display.

  9. I love the cubby storage unit. I would keep that as well if I found it, along with the PB pillows. I had a yard sale this weekend so I didn't get a chance to find goodies. :(
