Garage Sale Goodies

I have been anxiously awaiting Debbie Doos Garage Sale Paaarty all week long.  Debbie throws the best parties, so be sure to head on over & check out what's happening! We were in Paris last week, so I missed last weeks party (be sure to check out my Paris post!), so I could hardly wait for this weeks garage sales and the Paaarty!  I didn't have much luck finding many sales this week, but I did manage to find a few neat goodies that I am excited about. 

Ok, so the colors on this cast iron door stop are beyond hideous, with some primer and a few coats of heirloom white, she will be a knock out!  She's very heavy, too, and at 50 cents I couldn't pass her up!

I am a sucker for cute watering cans, and this one has a gorgeous copy of a vintage French soap label.  Tres chic, and tres me!!

I found 4 of these little tin pails for only a buck.  While the floral & veggie designs are cute, they are really not "me", so I am heading over the the Graphic Fairy in search of some neat graphics that I can Mod Podge on the pails.  Not sure what I will use them for, but I thought they had tons of "cuteness potential"!

I found this gold 8 x 10 picture frame for 50 cents. (break out the heirloom white again!), and this pretty vintage tin tray.  I've found trays just like this before at yard sales, and transformed them into magnetic memo boards for my etsy shop, but I think I just may keep this tray myself. Hubby & I have taken a couple of trips to North Carolina & just loved it there!

I was so excited to discover this large wooden applique.  It's bigger than it looks in this picture.  I am saving this for a future crafting project (how many times do I say that?!!), and think it would look gorgeous painted, you guessed it, Heirloom white!  Or maybe a soft aqua.

Ok, these last two things I picked up two weeks ago at garage sales, but since I ws getting ready for our trip, I didn't get a chance to blog about them.  I couldn't resist sharing!  Anyway, check out this gorgeous framed vintage embroidered linen!  Someone placed her in a new frame on a background of new pink lace, with vintage crocheted trim.  How sweet! 

I found this mirror for 2 bucks. In person, the frame looks really cheap and plasticy. But, I have seen many of you ladies transform mirrors just like this, so I can't wait to work some magic!  I am going to remove the mirror, cause it's not in perfect shape, then have hubby cut a piece of 1/4" thick wood to fit, which I will turn into a chalk board.  I think I am going to paint the frame a distressed aqua. 

Well, that's it!  I can't wait to hop in over to Debbie's to see what treasures everyone else has found! Have a great Memorial Day weekend!
