Online Garage Sale...items added daily!


It is way past time to weed out some of my treasures and pass them along to someone else
to enjoy so I am having an online garage sale. You can purchase these for the price listed plus
shipping charges.

 I am asking for a check or money order for
payment. You can email me at :

sandijo_59@hotmail.com

with any questions you might have. I am removing items as they sell so you don't get
confused.

I charge actually shipping charges to rest assured I am not trying to make money on
shipping. Thank you and have fun looking!


We are starting this sale off with a vintage rusty/crusty clock that is just perfect for display. I have several of
these used in my home for just that purpose.


Next, we have a vintage baby ben alarm clock for your viewing pleasure. :)





This is a small canvas also from Peacock Park. It still has the shrink wrap on most of it . {some missing
from the back} It is brand new also.


I used to collect these vintage candy boxes and I just love the graphics on them.


Another cute vintage candy box.

For the shoe lover in your life...


Silver glitter keys...we all love them! :)

I love these crosses...I saved a few out for me. I am pretty sure they are glass.



Pretty crystal ornies...


Other beautiful ornaments...


Merry Christmas signs to add to your Christmas packages...

Now did you find something you just can't live without?? I hope so!! Like I said, I will keep adding items
and take off the ones that are sold. Happy shopping!!

Please note: I only ship to United States and Canada.

Thank you!

Watches and fans and messes...OH MY!!






I found these watches at an antique store a couple weekends ago and just had to bring them home with me.
I have never seen any like them...have you?? So unique. 


This is what I REALLY should be doing today, but instead I decided to clean a fan and take photos? wow...lol!! 


I am working on filling up my new/old cabinet that has an old screen door attached. I just love it!!  That little white
basket won't stay on that stand, but we are *a work in progress* here at the moment.  


Don't you just love this cabinet? I want another one for the other wall. I can guarantee you that I could have them both filled up in no time flat! ha! 

Isn't this a neat old fan? I have loved this fan from the moment I found her {several years ago| and I use her every year.  I noticed today that she needed a good cleaning. Have you ever tried to take apart and old fan? They don't have screws that make it easy like the fans now-days. After studying her for awhile, I realized the front grill comes off so that is how
I had to clean the whole fan.  


I even had to clean the backside of the blades from the front which was very interesting, but she looks much
better now. :)  Love her soft aqua color. 


Something about neutrals just speak to my soul...

Yea...the fan pics were supposed to be at the end of the post , but Sandi goofed again. lol

Happy Wednesday and be sure to enjoy life!!

Shutter finally up and a WINNER!



I have still been working in the kitchen ,but seem to be pulled in fifty different directions lately so it is taking longer than I would like. The lighting here today is not good at all  either so it is what it is.

  Hubby attached these brackets to the wall for me to hang my shutter on.  Remember in a previous post how the shutter was just nailed flat against the window as a valance? I have had it that way for several years and although I still love the shutter up there, it was time for a slight change and I love it!!


I got 20 of these *chippy, shabby, grungy* brackets at the Peacock park warehouse sale last year for free! From what I understand they were originally table legs,but I love them as brackets! We also used them on a shelf in the kitchen, but I will keep that for another post.


Next project will be working on some type of curtains for underneath the shutter. I have an idea brewing in my head so we will see how that turns out. I have to have something here because the sun just beats in as it is on the west side of the house. {please ignore the clutter ...this place has been clutter city for a few weeks since I took on this project, but it will all be okay in the end right?? lol}



My collection of pretty vintage silver spoons ~


okay...now to the winner of the vintage strawberry boxes...drum roll please....

  I used a random number generator and these cutie pie boxes are going to be winging their way to

SARA of SWEET MAGNOLIAS FARM

Congratulations Sara!! I think I have your address, but please get it to me just in case and I will get these in the mail next week. I also wanted to share them with more than one person so I choose a couple more names to send ONE box each to. They will go to Trisha and  Dawn so please send me your address ladies :)


Happy weekend everyone!!

I am blessed! {with goodies from Peacock Park}

I have been a busy beaver again this week, but I wanted to take some time and show you what I
brought home with me from the big Peacock Park sale last weekend.

Don't you just love these beautiful bags? I sure do! 


I believe that Gina told me that these are in her new line.  She was so sweet! I was carrying around a
 few things and she told me I needed a box so I followed her to the other side of her warehouse where
she found me an empty box to hold my treasures. If you haven't met her, she is one amazing lady!
 I think she has more energy in her big toe than I have in my whole body. ha!

This wreath!!!!!! I spied this across the tent on the first day and made a beeline for it.
I am glad I did because I didn't see any more and ladies were asking us where we found it.

music paper holly leaves with added glitter and glam...perfect!

I couldn't pass up a stack of simple muslin aprons and runners for 50 cents and 1.00 each.
{depending on what day you purchased them...regular day or half off day. I did both!}

I have been wanting a large lantern so was very pleased when I found this one with all
the glass intact. She had several that were missing glass and while it would not have been
hard to have glass cut for them, I don't have to now. :)

A beautiful picture that I picked up and carried around the first day and just couldn't decide , but
decided fast on the half off day. :)

Are you ready for this bloggy friends??? Gina also had a FREE pile! I brought home 20 of these chippy
 table legs and will use them for shelf brackets and who knows what else. 

She was also giving away tons of these wooden buckets! They were originally a dark color, but I
have painted five of them so far and am fixing them up. First, I picked up a stack of five, but then
we found out there were unopened boxes on pallets so I also nabbed a full box!

{ disclaimer: no one was hurt in the shuffle and scuffle of grabbing free items...rofl!
everyone behaved in a ladylike manner at least when I was there. }


I have big plans for these so I hope it works out. ha! One lady nabbed two boxes to utilize them
 for her daughters wedding.

All in all it was a fun day and truth be told this is my big hurrah for the year. Hubby and I never
seem to go on a true vacation ,so we take mini vacays to visit our kids and love it when we find
stops like this along the way.

I did get a few other items that didn't make the photos yet. Some silver glittered jingle bells,
another printed tote...not sure what else, but I think most of it made the photos. I hope you
enjoyed seeing all my goodies. Happy Thursday!!

Annual Peacock Park Sale...I wish I could have taken you with me!

You know when you are looking forward to something so much that you can't eat,
can't sleep, can't clean or do dishes, can't drive, can't do anything right??

Okay...okay, I am getting a little really carried away here, but I have been hoping that
Gina from Peacock Park would have a sale this year and when June came and went
without one being announced I figured it was a no go...THEN...one day not too long
ago she announced it on facebook and her blog. Happy camper here! hee hee

I was there twice on Friday and once today...plenty of times to snap up some goodies
at awesome prices although I needed a truck because I LOVED the above piece and it
would not fit in my car. lol!

{Thursday was for wholesale customers only which I am not}


There were beautiful baskets and metal ware...


...chests with numbers on them. Who doesn't love numbers these days??


lots of assorted ribbon...

these trick or treat rolled bamboo mats ...

( I brought a few of these home with me}


burlap pillow covers...


A gorgeous chair and even more baskets...


everywhere you looked was another treasure just waiting to be found...I almost brought one of these
"flower container trees" home with me, but didn't know if it would fit in the car either.


Did you notice the basket on the left is made into a lamp??


More numbered items...


Another gorgeous angel! They had one of these last year also. I love it!


I fell in love with these rusty ,screen hats , but none made it home with me. I just
couldn't purchase all that I thought was neat or I would need another home
to put it all in and I also had to save some money to pay bills ya know!! lol.


I goofed here! I intended to get a couple of these today and didn't. Today was half off day so they
were 2.50 each. All the little fleur -de -lis were broken, but I could have replaced it with something
else. Oh well...another item I really didn't NEED. :)


loved all the gorgeous gray baskets no matter the size...


numbers, numbers, numbers...


I thought this clock was gorgeous!


This is the tent you saw when you drove in. The sale was inside the tent, along the side of the warehouse
and there were also some items inside the warehouse. It was a perfect day yesterday. Beautiful,
sunny weather. Today it rained all day long.


This is the sign you see as you are driving along the interstate. I have loved the sight of this place
before I even knew what it was. Years ago, my daughter happened upon it as it is only 15 minutes from
where she lives and she told me I would love it. That is when the warehouse was actually a retail location
and as soon as you stepped inside, you were transported to a most beautiful place in time. It was
breathtakingly gorgeous each and every time we visited.

It has since closed to the public and it is now her warehouse, but Gina started her annual sale last year
and have been fortunate enough to attend both years. If you live in Michigan it is well worth the trip!!
 Hope you enjoyed seeing the photos.  I will share what I purchased with you later. Happy Saturday!

{ I never told you WHY I was there twice on Friday did I? Well, it so happens that as we got
 closer to our destination, I asked hubby to remind me to put my camera around my neck so
 I could take photos for my blog. Well , he forgot and so did I! I didn't even remember until we
 were a few miles up the road to an antique store. So , after we ate lunch we drove back so I
could get some photos just for you! ha! We also had some time we needed to kill so it worked
out just fine. Also, on my second trip I scored some freebies and can't wait to transform them.}
