I tried to be good...

I really did! I had been dreaming of a bar stool or two for the new island in my kitchen (it is also still a dream), but I put that out of my head and we hopped in the car and went to a garage sale just a few miles away on Saturday before all the birthday festivities started.

Am I ever glad we did! Tons of antique goodies were there and it was the third day of the sale! People just aren't buying around here like they used to.

This pottery piece was 1.00

necklace 50 cents

I love the detail on this piece. Did you notice the pinecone on the right hand side? It also has one on the back side.

{Can you believe I still have phlox blooming? I cut them off weeks ago and they bloomed again!}

pretty pottery vase 50 cents

love these tins my hubby spotted for me.

10 cents each

all this ribbon with lily of the valley attached to it

here and there...

...it was included in a bag of vintage lace and buttons

for 50 cents.

50 cents for little green terra cotta pot.

love this buckle that was also in the bag with the lace.

spools and spools of vintage seam binding ribbon

{and crochet thread that didn't make the picture}

2.50 for all of it

This did come with the old cardboard pieces attached

that had wonderful graphics, but I had to take it off

and get rid of it because it was very brittle.

{I know this seam binding ribbon isn't white, but just

had to include it too. Hey at least the basket is white! lol}

last but not least a book for $1.00.

I think I was very good considering all that was there. There was a large pole building and a garage full of antique items. From Christmas ornaments to old valentines to... you name it they had it! The day we went everything was half off and I spent $7.50 total. I was hoping to go back later in the day, but it just didn't happen with family in for the day. I am still very happy with what I purchased.

Happy White Wednesday # 70!
