Junkin Jackpot!!!

So last Friday I ran out for lunch and  
I saw this little sign......
Estate Sale!!

And you know what that means!

I blew off my hunger pains and followed the signs!

It was a little house on top of the hill,
and when I walked in the garage.....
well, lets just say there was a light glow to it,
I heard angels singing.......

There was so much great stuff!
I immediately dug in and started a pile!

This was the first item I wrote sold on!


Sorry it has been raining here so I tried to take pictures
before the downpour started again!

Look at this, the man who lived here built this table!
It ain't fallin apart!!


Look at this bad boy!!

And look at these lockers that were in the garage!


There were 2 of them.


Here they are in the barn.
I wish the rain would stop!

I know April  May Showers bring June flowers.......

So cute, and I do have the shelves.


Look at this cuteness,
a wooden tray!
Can't wait to paint that!

And this old Avon bottle.
How cute would this be with soap in it.
Gotta figure out what to do where it's chipped
on the lid. 


There were stacks of song books.

And your basic junk,
that I can't live without!!


Bet you can't tell what year I was born.....

 There were stacks and stacks of license plates. 
I tried to find some with The Boyfriends birth year
but, they didn't have license plates back then....



An old bed, for.........$10!!!!!
It's sideways in the barn,
but you get the idea.

The foot board and the side rails are in the corner.

I can't wait to shabby that bed up!!! 

Cute little vase.......

Cute HOOSIER GLASS vase!

And in this trash bag


Old feed sacks.......
Can you contain yourself!!!! 

So far this one is my favorite!!

And as another tease.......
this is the rest of the junk!!!

Just crammed in the shed!! 
Rain please stop!!!! 
I must paint!!!

I am really excited about this table!!

And yes that is a bathtub in my yard!!
I put flowers in it in the summer 
and it's great for parties!
Fill it up with ice and it's a giant cooler!

  10. wow - treasure trove of goodies. And what a novel idea for using an outdoor bathtub! I never thought of using it for cold drinks -- that would be so much cuter than a standard drink cooler!

  11. Are you freaking kidding me?? Did they even know their tag sale was a DIYers dream come true? My favorite is the bed. Can't wait to see what you do with it!

    Take care,

  13. Are you in trouble over the license plate/birthday crack?
    with a haul like that I wouldn't have gone back to work. I'd stay to play.
