Garage Sale
How was your weekend? Mine was surprisingly spot on! I started the weekend by carving out a brief time to go treasure hunting. You see, here in Wisconsin, it is a seasonal event and now that the weather started cooperating, the garage sales have sprung. Its spring time!

Thrifty Finds
If you recall in a pervious post, I explained how I began thrift store and garage sale shopping. It was a Friday morning ritual with my kids. Now that time is minimal. This past Friday I did carve out a brief period of time to hit some sales.

Boy oh boy did I make a score. So much good home decor and project pieces were found. I was just giddy 🙂 But wait there is more!

Treasures from a church sale
Friday night I drove to my mother’s to spend the night. To my delight, my sister informed me there was a large church sale happening that weekend. Yay, for church sales! One of my tips for decorating on a budget is to attend church sales. They always have such an eclectic choice of items and at such fabulous prices. Even though it was the second day of the sale, I walked out with quite a load…… picture frames, shutters, wicker baskets, antique hooks, garden statue, unframed botanical prints, and a lamp. I was quite pleased with myself. When I was returning home , I stopped at a consignment store and score some vintage windows- with and without glass and even one with a screen. I have a few ideas how I can repurpose them into home accents.
Well, I think I am set for a while. The hardest part for me will be taking time off from the hunt in order to get these potential projects completed. Wish me luck!
Great ideas and great finds! Thank you very much for joining in the celebration of #purebloglove, we enjoy having you each week. I hope to see you on Thursday at 8PM, EST through Sunday night. ~Cydnee
