yard sale and goodies

We had a yard sale Saturday.

My friends brought some of their stuff over.

It was fun but we were up early and it was H.O.T.

We had our first shopper around 6:45am and they were still coming at 1:00pm!

Long day.

But we made some pretty good money.

Our whole neighborhood was having a sale.

So we girls and Maddox took turns walking around to the other sales.

I was a big spender and bought Maddox a BatMan coloring book for 25cents.

That was it.

 I have been excited about some of the things

that I found at Mark's grandpa's house.

I got this whole set of old style Tupperware Canisters.

The lid on the big is busted.

I'm going to try to order a new one.

Don't you love the look of those old lids?

Me too.

I pulled this little drawer box thingy out of the shed.

It's my new phone, mail, keys organizer.

I replaced a black basket with this.

Much better than having the same thing

that everyone else has.

I'm going to clean it up a bit.

I do love this side with the chippy paint.

I found these little whatnots.

I thought were cute and useful.

And this old sewing kit.

Still full of thread!

Which I am going to need because I have determined

 to cover those chairs (and maybe my couches) even

if I am very scared of my sewing ma-ma-machine.

By the way, Mark found me a Singer Sewing Machine for free.

I just need to order a power cord for it.

I also got a full set of dishes.

Including platters!

Ray (my FIL) bought these when he was in the Air Force.

cool.

I took some stuff around to Antique shops to see

what they would give me for a couple of items

and all of them were only interested in these dishes!

I think I'm keeping them.

And last but not least

because it may be my favorite...

An old tool box.

I have more and will show them tomorrow

plus my IKEA trip goodies!
