Trash MEANS Treasure To SOME People

A couple of weeks ago, I attended our annual indoor rummage.  And although I don't make very much time to rummage in the nice months of the year, I do try to hit this one.

These are MY treasures (what might not be treasures to you ARE to me):

Um... these speak for themselves.  They were made out of an old quilt.... And the lady selling them was the lady that had made them.  They were $3 for all three.  They are as soft as they are cute.  And best of all... they are TOTALLY me.  They bring back such great memories of my grandma.  And the lady that was selling them... cute and nice as can be.  Gotta love that!

Next up:
I found this in the give away pile as the rummage ended.  It still has a price tag of $14 on it.  

I don't need your comments on it... 'cuz I've already received enough like these:

"You should have left it there."

"You actually want that?"

"Do you need me to take that to the dumpster for you?"

"Do we have to bring this home?"

Well... Hmph.

Remember this post in November when I made this:
out of this:
See... it WAS trash.  Now it's not (in my opinion anyway).

And then I also bought these:

Yes, I said "bought."  And I "bought" them for $2 each.

Remember the window that I bought for a buck?  That was at this rummage.  

All in all, I spent $10 and I HEART EVERY SINGLE THING.

Oh, I would totally buy that door thingy for $14! What a find! Free? I can't believe it...people just don't get it. I have a feeling you are going to make something fabulous out of it! And the old cans?? Love them!

Great finds the yellow bead board is my favorite! And I love the rusty tins.

I love your "bloom" sign! That is something I have been telling myself since we didn't move six years ago. I really like the whimsy-ness of it.

All I can think is that it's a good thing you and I don't rummage the same sale, because I would totally take you out for this stuff! :) I love the yellow board! Can I tell you why? not really - but I loves it! And those cans just make me drool! Great finds!!!
