Garage Sale Junkie

I enjoy this time of year for more reasons than one! Not only do I enjoy playing in the dirt (flower beds are adult sand boxes), I love garage sales! Every once in awhile, I find some wonderful primitives to incorporate into my decorating. Last week, I found a small, old hand shovel that I just stuck in one of my planters (I stole the idea from Carla of Country Road Primitives). I also found a rusty rake. The tines are great to hang smaller goodies from at craft shows! Rob likes to use them in our front yard Halloween display. I can't wait to share those photos!!

Last October, when my cousin Connie was in town, we found both of these items at the SAME sale. The were $15.00 a piece. I called Rob and said, "I'm at a garage sale and I found more rusty stuff, can you drive over here with the Explorer?". I could hear the hesitation in his voice. ROFL!! When he saw these beauties, he was all smiles!!





Most of the time, Rob says, "Deanna, what are you going to do with THAT?" Sometimes, he has no sense of adventure.

Gosh, is it Friday yet! I'm itching to go saling!

ROFL!! Oh my gosh did you notice that old hand trowel in my pot? Deanna, I used to garden my hiney off and I would not feel like putting things back into the garage and used that little thing so often to pluck out weeds or whatever... I found it so convenient to just stick it in the pot and wala! :) Glad you liked it... too cute... I love your treasures!! I want to come with you gals!! I would love custard filled with chocolate on top please :) OH! ...and decaf is great with not much coffee with my cream and sugar LOL!! xox
