A while back I participated in a church rummage sale. Unfortunately I didn't sell much of my own stuff. I was selling baby gear and the crowd was older. I did found some fun things to take home with me like this green table for $3.
Last Saturday I stopped in at Maltby Antiques and I found this painter's box (which I'll fill with plants after sanding off the paint) for $5.
I found this fun sign for $2 at a garage sale. I'll put it in the boys' bathroom.
I've been looking for just the right coffee table for months and months. I found this super cute one almost by accident. I went to a favourite antique store (hoping to find a table) and in the parking lot there happened to be a rummage sale going on (not affiliated with the store). I spied this table, checked the price, and said "I'll take the table!" How much was it? $39. Pretty good, eh?
I love it and I'm so glad I don't have to paint it. My "to paint" collection is getting a little out of hand. :)I don't have to paint this beauty either!
I bought it for $10 at a private sale at a cottage on Lake Washington on Friday night. What a gorgeous setting! The weather even cooperated. ;) Here is a link to more photos from this sale.This made my heart go pitter patter.
I found it at Value Village for $15, which sounds like a lot but once it is cleaned up and painted white (of course), I think it would sell for much, much more. The photo doesn't do it justice - it is *heavy* and big.I'm linking up with Today's Thrifty Treasures at Southern Hospitality.

WoW! You got some great finds! Glad I found your blog too. I saw your comment at Catherines and you said you were close by. Now I can look at all the great stuff you find up north and drool! ;-) I'm farther south but like reading WA blogs and have been up to meet Catherine and we did a plant/seed exchange.
Wow! I love it all! I am with you on trying to find things that require no work. I am staring at the pile of junk in the corner of my living room that needs to be fixed and/or painted.
