A little shamelss self promotion here....
You know that I consider myself a professional garage saler. In fact, I was interviewed for an article in our local paper about garage sales. This coming Saturday, the local CBS affiliate station (Channel 2, KTVN for all you locals!) is doing a "ride along" with the Navigator and me to see up close and personal what saling and thrifting are really like. The story is scheduled to air on June 5th, unless there is some huge breaking news that steals our time slot.
With all that being said, I thought I'd share my most recent treasures.This past weekend was wildly successful in terms of junking. I got so many great things that I am not quite sure exactly where to begin with my painting projects.
I grabbed the rocker for little Peanut Roberts for a mere $2.50. (This was, of course, before I knew there would be two grand babies this winter! Now I will most certainly be on the lookout for another rocker!)The frames will be in the Cotillion; some with chalkboards and some without, and the darling sofa table will be done up in proper cottage style. The doggy dish will have the metal bowls replaced with vintage soup bowls and maybe some applique's.
My favorite find of the day had to be this fabulous $5 French chair....oh, just you wait and see what I have planned for it! I'll give you a hint...there will be a Fleur di lis involved!
I am so excited to get started, but this will have to wait until tonight after the grown up job day is over...hmmm, now, the only question is....which piece do I begin first?
