Good things come to those who wait! {no crying allowed!}

Wire baskets, french books, market totes...oh my!!
...add a french style apron, a petite crusty table, wall and
garden decor and you have a full blown sale addict
from Peacock Park warehouse sale.

I really hate
to be this cruel , but I just had to show you
what I brought home with me for White Wednesday.

{bearing in mind some items are white,
some are kinda white and some are
not white. It has always been hard for
me to play by the rules!}

Things that I purchased were all
frenchy style.
French totes, french market totes
and a french style apron are just a few
of my wonderful finds.

{this is the part where you are not allowed to cry}
*sniff* *sniff*
I purchased one tote for $4,
two more for $2 each and two
market totes for 3.50 and 4.00 each
apron...$6.00...oops...not $6 but $3.00!

If you like these I suggest you check back for a giveaway
I am having soon and one of these will be included.
Haven't figured out what else yet for sure so it
may be next week before I get it posted.

{pray my computer cooperates...it is running even
slower these days. It may need a trip to the doctor!}

Love the printing on these.

Market tote...this is a neat piece. It is sewn together at the top in the middle and then the ends are open on the top...a little zippered pouch is attached inside for your moolah.

2 frenchy wire baskets

{hey, I just realized all the backgrounds are white so I am playing by the rules after all...and just when I thought I was rocking the boat }

French style book boxes that I have been wanting, but didn't want to spend $40 or more on a set ...rather I couldn't spend $40 or more on a set! :)

I think I better start handing out more tissues to you because these were an awesome price too!

$2 - $6 each Most I bought were $2 and $3 each. I know you are all crying hysterically by now.

Amazing deals! I had to laugh though because when I got home I was looking at them closer and the one that says, Sincerity has the printing on the spine upside down. who knew...who cares! Still great for display.

Little pots $1 each...wire cage thingy $4 for base and $3 for top. They had all sizes of tops and you could pick what you wanted.

Neat flower caddy that I snatched for $5.00.

Have you used up a whole box of kleenex yet? I feel so bad for you...really I do!! Oh dear. Wish I could have bought something for everyone.

huge wire terrarium cover ...wait for it... wait...wait... okay $7.50 .

France flower bucket $7.

My darling daughter was with me as was my granddaughter and she surprised me with a set of these coasters. How thoughtful of her. She told me she got them for me as part of my Christmas gift, but she couldn't wait. She never has been able to wait. lol

This little caddy was $3.00. I had to get something that said Peacock Park on it.

I do have good news...I asked Gina if this would be an annual sale and she said yes so you can plan to attend next year!! {Fenton, Michigan} It is almost 3 hours north of us and 20 minutes away from our daughters home. I think you know what weekend we will be conveniently visiting her every year. :)

This is not all I bought , but it is all the photos I have ready so far. I did get the most amazing crusty petite bistro type table, but it was missing some screws, {somedays I think I am missing a few too , but we won't go there} so hubby is stopping after work to pick some up and finish assembling it for me. Maybe it will appear on next week for White Wednesday.

Sure wish I could have taken all of you with me.

Hope you enjoyed part of my goodies and

hopefully I can get the rest posted soon.

Linking up with Kathleen again for WW this week.

I know I am posting early, but I decided to post it while

my computer is cooperating with me. :)

The spacing issues on blogger is driving me nuts...how about you?

{now everyone wipe those tears and stay tuned for the giveaway!}

Blessings~

Peacock Park French Warehouse Sale!!

Hubby and I had quite the busy weekend again. Last weekend we went to our oldest son's and this
weekend we spent the weekend with my daughter
and her family.

Can you believe that we were fortunate to be driving
right past Peacock Park's huge warehouse sale??
It was amazing!!

{did you see the article in Victoria last year about
Gina's home and business...just beautiful!}

Thousands of items in the french style and some
were probably literally from France too as I know
she goes over there on buying trips. Two days of marked down prices and then one
day of 1/2 off...just what Sandi needed. lol.

The owner is Gina Galvin and she has several of these
huge conservatory's on the property. Alas, I didn't get to
bring one home because they wouldn't fit in the car! lol

Love them!

So many items to choose from

This is Gina off to the right. She was very busy and it was hot, hot, hot !!

Boxes and boxes of items to pick from. Oh where to start?? I was just in awe and had to snap photos quickly while *snapping up* items so you aren't getting any fantastic photos...just reality. :)

One of these buckets came home with me.

A lot of turquoise.

Does anyone remember a post I did where I said I
was looking for some of these books?? Jackpot...and low prices too!! Several of them found
their way into my box!

another gorgeous book box

...and more.

I thought this mirror was beautiful. I saw it and
was going to grab it for $10 and forgot until we
left! There was just so much stuff to see and choose
from. Then on 1/2 off day I missed it again. :)
Guess it was not meant to be.

just about anything you can imagine

Again, was going to get one of these white curved stands
on 1/2 off day at $15, but forgot until we had left.
I think I need some help...or someone to follow me
around and grab stuff for me.

It was hard to get good photos because of
the blazing sun, but I tried.

Loved this huge angel. A steal at $150!
I don't know if it sold on regular days or the
half off day ,but it had a sold sign on it.

you name it...she had it

Love this little house and finials.

Magnificiant huge statues for outside.

Aren't they beautiful??

Thought these were cute.

iron

Loving these old trim pieces.

more garden art...or rather estate art!

I hope you enjoyed my tour of the sale.
It was really hard to choose what to bring
home because of the variety of stuff and limited
car space, but I brought home too much! I think I am still in buying mode for the booth
and I don't have it anymore. lol
More posts to follow soon about our fun weekend.
Blessings~
