I love spring and nicer weather because it means “time for yard sales“! This past weekend, my daughter and I stopped by a few in addition to an estate auction. I didn’t get much but here are some of my treasures…
an old vintage clock face…
I haven’t set the clocks yet…oops!
There are never any AA batteries when you need them and I felt it best not to ‘borrow’ from the remote control. 😉 The clock face on the wall is the one I purchased.
Ever since Aimee from It’s Overflowing shared this image from Martha Stewart Weddings in the DIY Project Parade, (thanks so much, Aimee – I can’t stop thinking about copying this for a centerpiece in my favorite colors…)
{no, no wedding plans…I’m already married to a wonderful man! I just love the look.} I’ve been collecting wooden candlesticks (+ a wooden tray)…
Wisteria used to sell these vintage elephant bells…
and I found my own cute little vintage brass elephant bell with a beautiful patina. I love the sound!
and because I might want to ‘work out’ (ha! haha!) these fun vintage dumbbells…
I’ve also recently scored another outdated chandelier that will get a coat of spray paint and a little chicken wire accessorizing. And clothes. One of these days the girls and I will do a fashion show. Most of our favorite things are from thrift stores.
What have you found lately? Feel free to leave a link to your thrift store/flea market/yard sale finds in the comments…we want to see. Then join me in linking up at Rhoda’s fun party:
Great scores – love the clock face, dumb bells (maybe they would motivate me to work out!), and that fabulous brass bell!
Would love to see all your thrift store fashions!
Rhoda’s party is one of my favorites – I linked up my fabulous vintage glider!

Check out my loot! 🙂
I love the candlesticks painted in bright colours! You have inspired me to start looking for wooden ones now. ~ Maureen
