What you can buy with $5.50
These are a few of my yard sale finds. I stumbled upon a church yard sale and they told me they had just cleaned out this old lady’s basement. I was hyperventilating with all the vintage wares.
like this pink vintage apron for $.25 There were 8 and I bought all 8 aprons for 25 cents each. You can still smell the flour from where…I’m sure she baked the best biscuits.
and this bread tin that was also $.25 I will use it in my studio to store stuff. I love the green patina color.
I found this Simply Shabby Chic king duvet with shams for $5.00 Do you ever feel guilty that you’re getting a steal? Me neither. I’m participating in Southern Hospitality’s Thrifty Treasures Party. Make sure you go check out the other treasures scored this weekend.
Oh wow, what a steal on the aprons, and I LOVE that bread box! What a great sale that was!
You got lucky! The apron is just too cute and the duvet and shams…gorgeous!

chalkboard painting…
wanting to get it off.
Well I don't have a quick solution, however I have been buying OLD pictures at thrift stores and painting them with chalkboard paint. Then I canjust hand and take down whenever I want to!
Enjoyed your blog!
Have a great day!
I LOVE that tin! and the polka dot table cloth is on is adorable!
ahh I love all this stuff!!
I love getting good/great deals on things especially antiques. I love the apron you've shown and that bread box is precious. I would love to garag sale/estate shop EVERYDay if I could, so much fun exploring through the possible treasures.
Wow! Great finds. Totally jealous bout those aprons! Love your site, it's seriously one of my favs!
That tin bread box…. so cool! When my grandma died and I was cleaning out her place, I found one very similar to that in a closet. It was full of treasure.. fabric squares and nine patch quilt blocks that my great grandmother had started years and years ago. Fun finds!
HI! I absolutely love the apron!! How fun is it to find great items like those! Are you interested in selling one of the eight that you found? I would love one!
Oh I am SO JEALOUS! Love everything you got, and they were practically free. It would have been a crime not to get all 8 aprons!
I'm jealous of your bread box!! so cool! saw you via TCB
100 aprons and counting…and I would STILL grab that apron quicker than anything – totally drool-worthy. Love the breadbox too! I never find good stuff like that in my neck of the woods…
Oh my goodness. Aprons and a bread box. I'm about to drive over and steal 'em. I thought about you today when The Nester and I were talking about last year's Those Creative Women! I'm thinking we're going to do it again next year sometime (my three month away baby is putting a halt to the schedule), so I hope you can come! Hope your daughter's birthday was fun!
Wow! You did find some treasures! I love finding great deals, especially since sometimes I feel like prices at garage sales are way too high for garage sales! I bet you skipped out of there doing the happy dance!
Lucky duck!
