Miscellaneous Post---Night Stand

I have been wanting to do this for a few years to this nightstand top.  It was brown wood when purchased.  We painted the outside part white and the top and 3 drawers pink.  Then I brought the lace and taped in on the top (with some overhang) and spray painted in white.  This is 1 coat of white.  I will put a clear coat over it ---- I think.

Will go in the room that granddaughter claims.

Got it at a flea market store about 3 years ago.   We are slow doing stuff!!!!!

Candid Shots

This summer I got this wagon at a rummage sale full of mega legos for $3.00.  Teigan fits right in it.  I got some old blocks from a neat shop here called Shakes and Ladders. 
We are putting new flooring in and Teigan decided to check it out and see if grandpa was doing okay or not.

Decorating Ideals

Using kids blocks to spell out holiday greetings.

Other one if doing a candy theme holiday, it would be good.

My 4th of July banner

My husband got it for me in a box he brought at a rummage sale one year.

Finds

Paper towel holder from Goodwill for $1.50. Have been wanting one and the metal one I looked at Friday at a store was $19. 2 fat quarters from Big Lots

Rummaging

I stopped by a sale yesterday when I got off early and knew things would be picked thru but found the plate and the little glass box that was the ladies mom and was given to her by her mom or was her moms mom.  She had quilts at $4 but they were gone.  Said her MIL made them but you can just have so many.

Material from a sale this a.m.

Flea Market finds

This a.m. our Royal Neighbors had their annual fund raiser bake sale and flea market. I found the above items. Christmas glass, crystal Christmas tree ornament, a blue necklace and a stocking that is new for 85 cents. I went ahead and gave them a whole buck!!! I took 2 pumpkin crisp in to donate for the bake sale.

Goodwill Finds

Last night when we went grocery shopping we stopped into Goodwill, I was looking for pillows to recover for the patio chairs but instead I found 2 books 50 cents each and then the Christmas stickers $1.00 each. I always look for Christmas books at yard sales, flea markets and Goodwill stores.

The Christmas Cub book is a cute little story.

Goodwill Finds

Yesterday I got the 2 Christmas pillows for $2 each (tags were still on) and the basket for $3 for the wedding.

Update~~Not sure DD cares for it so it might be donated back.

Goodwill ties

I got these 6 ties at Goodwill this a.m. for 25 cents each. Got 6. My friend Michelle from my MHH Family posted this ideal on the thread that she found at

My finds today

I got off early today and I shopped for a short time. The big ones were $5 and the Campbells $1 (and it has quite a few pages) that would be 16 and I offered $10 and he said 10.50 with tax.

Flea Market Find

I purchased this plate several years ago at a flea market. I love it to take treats on to work and places.

Flea Market Finds

At the Royal Neighbors flea market I got these. The pictures are Mary Engelbriets. They are big. They were $3 each and the shelf was 50 cents. Not as good as Rhonda's deals!!!! Will repaint the shelf. Have a room that I am hoping to do into a family room and want it to be white, yellow and blue with an outside feel so the pictures will work. Have been wanting this room done since we have moved here ( 22 yrs. since we built here. It is the covered breezeway between house and garage) so I have stuff stored for it. DH has promised it will be next after the shed addittion and we get stuff sorted. Of course, I have no money now. Will be very interesting when we clean and sort to see just how much I do have for this room. I am sure WAY to much.
