Garage Sale Treasures

I’m sorry it’s been so long since I last posted …

Time flies when your having fun , I’ve had company . My friend and her husband stopped by for a few days . The ones I traveled with last year in the RV .

They park their RV in my front drive so I have neighbors for awhile. We have so much fun , wish they could have stayed longer !

Look what they brought me …

Most of these boxes are silverware boxes , the big one in the second picture is full of flatware , service for 12 ! She bought them all at garage sales and estate sales in Arizona , where they live. Now all I have to do is make something cool out of them . They make great jewelry and keepsake boxes . She said she got them all for under $20.00 . She is a good bargain hunter .

I went treasure hunting last Saturday , this is what I found …

White queen size Battenberg lace duvet cover…

Skirt…

Pillow shams…

3 sets of curtain panels with valances…

And a round table cloth , all for $8.00 !

I couldn’t believe it ! It is in very good shape with no stains or spots . This is my guest room I have them in.  Do you see the color on the wall ? It is a pale yellow green . I am not loving it !

I want something that shows the white off better.

I’m thinking something in the third or forth chip down , but I can’t decide what color I like the best . I was first thinking pink , but now I’m thinking something a little more fresh an tropical . What do you think ? I need help here !

These are all colors from Wal-Mart , I haven’t had a chance to go anywhere else yet . So if you can recommend a good color let me know .

Calm Misty Sea , Bahamas Underwater Green , Breezy Summer House . Names that make my imagination run wild .

So good to be back here ! I’ve missed you !
