The Genius', bear and I went to several yard sales last Saturday.....But first I went to my favorite "junk" store. I found this grain sack basket ( I'm thinking laundry room ) and a cute stool.....
We then went to 9 yard sales....had it all mapped out and used the gps to navigate around since we weren't in our subdivision. Total spent $32. Time with my kids ( yes, I claim bear as mine...lol. ) .....priceless.
I found this lovely vase and cute detailed mirror ( both have been freshly painted already )
also already received it's first coat of paint. :)
this silver urn ( I have a thing for urns.... ) $4.
Then we started a few little projects....

The genius' hot glued moss on a wooden H from Michaels and a foam ball for my silver ( shabby ) urn.....she did a good job didn't she?
Found this { I call it a jelly cabinet...but not sure really what it is } at a church rummage sale for $5.
I have an idea or two for this one....it's already received a coat of primer and it's first coat of rustoleum heirloom white.
I'm thinking this would look great on the wall above the bathtub with pretty towels and some silver.... :)
{ sorry for the poor picture....it's actually a quite charming piece. }
This beauty ( I've always loved this dresser ) has been in our garage for about 5 years. I have it pulled out on the deck for some much needed painting.
Say goodbye stencil....hello.....it's a suprise....and I hope I can do it. { winks. }

Hi Jessica! Oh, I love your things and that little Genius is a very crafty little one and I was thrilled to crown her! :)
Oh, whatever you plan to do to your dresser - it'll be awesome! I just know it.
Be a sweetie,

HI Jessica
I loved seeing all your wonderful yard sale finds. I would love to go to a yard sale one day as we don't have them over here.
Thanks for the comment. It was great to see your daughter being a bathroom diva too.
I look forward to seeing how you decorate your new bedroom and how you transform the yard. Your current yard is so beautiful, I know your new will be too eventually.

The weirdest thing just happened, I clicked on your post and it took me to March 2010! I thought maybe you were deleting your posts like your other unnamed lunatic friend! Glad to see when I reclicked it took me to the new post. Freaky, I tell ya, lol!
Your finds are going to be absolutely perfect when you're finished! It will feel like a whole new everything in your new house with all your completed projects! You go girl!
Today I'm blind. Broke my glasses and can barely see the monitor. Of course, I have to work too so it's been a nightmare and I'm getting a humongous headache. Sigh...life just doesn't cooperate some days! I'm running to get them fixed after work. Wish all the other driver's on the road luck, lol!

OMGosh! I love that little cabinet and your other goodies!
I know you've been having a blast at the yard sales..you just can't beat a yard sale that's for sure...loved seeing all of your finds in recent weeks..love the moss "H" that genius made too...it's perfect :)
I have been changing things out on the homefront last week in the living room...I changed out for fall ...hopefully I can post some pics of my warmer look for fall sometime soon. I'm lovin' it... I'll give you a hint...brick red floral pillows on the chocolate brown sofa...I'm lovin' it for a change. I think us girls thrive on change don't you?!
Hope you have a great week...I'm so glad you all put off moving just yet...besides I love your home and yard...I know you would have missed it :) When the timing is right you'll know it, and be ready to move. It will all work out.
Big hugs,
Queenie
Those are some awesome finds!!
