What you can buy with $5.50

These are a few of my yard sale finds. I stumbled upon a church yard sale and they told me they had just cleaned out this old lady's basement. I was hyperventilating with all the vintage wares.

like this pink vintage apron for $.25 There were 8 and I bought all 8 aprons for 25 cents each. You can still smell the flour from where...I'm sure she baked the best biscuits.

and this bread tin that was also $.25 I will use it in my studio to store stuff. I love the green patina color.

I found this Simply Shabby Chic king duvet with shams for $5.00 Do you ever feel guilty that you're getting a steal? Me neither. I'm participating in Southern Hospitality's Thrifty Treasures Party. Make sure you go check out the other treasures scored this weekend.

    wanting to get it off.
    Well I don't have a quick solution, however I have been buying OLD pictures at thrift stores and painting them with chalkboard paint. Then I canjust hand and take down whenever I want to!

    Enjoyed your blog!

  32. That tin bread box.... so cool! When my grandma died and I was cleaning out her place, I found one very similar to that in a closet. It was full of treasure.. fabric squares and nine patch quilt blocks that my great grandmother had started years and years ago. Fun finds!

  33. HI! I absolutely love the apron!! How fun is it to find great items like those! Are you interested in selling one of the eight that you found? I would love one!

  34. Oh I am SO JEALOUS! Love everything you got, and they were practically free. It would have been a crime not to get all 8 aprons!

  37. Oh my goodness. Aprons and a bread box. I'm about to drive over and steal 'em. I thought about you today when The Nester and I were talking about last year's Those Creative Women! I'm thinking we're going to do it again next year sometime (my three month away baby is putting a halt to the schedule), so I hope you can come! Hope your daughter's birthday was fun!

  38. Wow! You did find some treasures! I love finding great deals, especially since sometimes I feel like prices at garage sales are way too high for garage sales! I bet you skipped out of there doing the happy dance!
