Springtime & Bargain Seeking in Texas

Today was absolutely perfect weather other than the blanket of yellow pollen covering everything outside. So, being the bargain shopaholic that I am I got up early, grabbed a cup of coffee and headed to our annual community yard sale.

Here are a few goodies I picked up for less than $22! That will buy you less than 7 gallons of gas these days and this was so much more fun!



Lopsy & Flopsy keeping watch over my porch just in time for Easter. Picked these little precious guys up for 50 cents and they are so shabby!





Butterfly lantern that goes perfectly on my outside table; 10 cents!





Shabby chic shelf that appears to be handpainted roses $2



Craft & home sewing patterns 50 cents.



Crochet hooks and 2 skeins of yarn $1



Wine label plaque new in package from Kohls (retails for $9.99) $1



Little hand painted bear plaque to hang in my daughter's room. It reads "Please bear with me, God isn't finished with me yet." 25 cents



Lot of 20 cookbooks that are usually displayed on the grocery store checkout aisle $4



Scrapbooking Magazines for 10 cents each and The Ultimate Papercrafts Book that retails at Michael's for $19.99; $3


Potato/Onion Bin; This was the most expensive buy of the day at $7. I am brainstorming with this one of how I can jazz it up with some handpainted flowers or fruit. It is very sturdy and appears to be the same kind that you find in Amish markets.
