I wanted to share this post before it was Saturday all over again, but with the week I had at work, (and I was throwing the double baby shower!) well, it just didn't happen. And it didn't happen the week after that either, 'coz I wanted to paint the set before I posted them.(By the way, the deal of the day this past Saturday was my all time best, but I can't show it yet, 'coz it's gonna be re-invented into a big surprise for someone very, very special...I'll share it with a "before and after post" as soon as it's done!)
Anyway.
Here's what nine dollars got me at the neighborhood yard sale three Saturday's ago. (The woman wanted ten dollars and I bought a whole pile of stuff and ended up saving an additional buck!) They were Kind of dark-ish-kelly-green to begin with, but they seemed to not work so well in my front yard, with all the dark foliage behind them, so...I painted them, and they are now proudly welcoming everyone to my cottage for autumn. (I'll share the entire front of the cottage once I get my window boxes all done up for Autumn!)
Oh, I love em, love 'em, love 'em.
Very cute. The wagon, also. Please email me, I've changed my cell number.
Thanks, Cyndi

WOW! You have SO much energy!!!
I'm still collecting my re-purpose "to-do's", but haven't had the time to start them yet. I've just been keeping track with a list of ideas and stashing the "finds" in the garage!!!
Way to go, girl!!!
Happy Day,
Tina

Wow! You totally know how to score at yard sales. Or maybe you can just see the diamond in the rough. All I seem to find is "junk". I can't wait to see your latest and greatest find all "Tracey'd Up"
As for the very, very special. Well, I may be very special but if you insist on the additional special I'll take it. =)

I love that thermos!!! And if those are the brand of baby shoes that "chirp" that I am thinking of, you can adjust them so they don't chirp all the time...haha! :o) Great load of stuff!
